The Amazing Spider-man
The director explains how he reinvented the Spider-Man character:
"Peter Parker is a science whiz. If you look back to the early Stan Lee and Steve Ditko comics, he's a nerd with big glasses. What was important in those early comics was this notion that Peter Parker is an outsider and how we define that in a contemporary context."
"So much of the DNA of the character is the fact that he was a kid when he got bit. He is imperfect, he is immature and has a bit of a punk rock instinct. In his soul he's still a 90-pound weakling even after [the bite]."

Marc Webb also discussed the stuntwork, and how he didn't want to rely on CGI:
"One of the things we tried to do was keep the stunts more grounded physically and that was a huge challenge because you have a character whose abilities are superhuman...We spent months and months and months developing rigs so he could swing in a way that wasn't computer-generated. Obviously there's going to be enhancements and CG, but it's based in a physical reality and that's a new technique [for this film brand]."
Marc Webb also talked about connecting with the Comic-Con audience:
"A lot of our credibility is based on fan perception in some way. I'm really excited to connect with the fans. I feel like we've been a little bit under the radar in terms of our communication. I think it's a great way to announce the new qualities that we're putting out there and just connect with the audience in a way that we haven't before."
The Amazing Spider-Man comes to theaters July 3rd, 2012 and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Denis Leary, Chris Zylka, Irrfan Khan, C. Thomas Howell. The film is directed by Marc Webb.

just saw the leaked trailer too, very impressed with the tone they've decided to go with this one. Very dark and human feeling.
@rjh094 I agree it seems a lot more mature, summer 2012 is going to ROCK!

The films is based off a failed comic and animation storyline of the spiderman character's world. So it will be big at first, but will be sucked into a vacc*m of why was this made genre of movies.

I really wished I had waited for the official HQ release but the movie still looks awesome. Looks more serious in tone, which I appreciate. And Emma Stone is hot!

I look forward to this. It won't erase what has been done before, but I feel this will be a great enhancement to the portion of the Marvel universe this is porting in. This is going to be awesome and epic in its own way.

I'm very excited for this, much to the bewilderment of some of you I'm sure. Like I've always steadfastly upheld, I'm a fan of anything quality. And this is shaping up pretty damn nicely.

If your trying to connect to the mid- 80s genre, than "punk rock instinct" would fit...barely. This story came out in the 60s. Punk Rock didn't exist.

The trailer was great. Lovin' the dark tone it has.
