A new four-minute trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man aired during “America’s Got Talent” on Monday night giving fans an extended look at what the new Spider-Man feature has to offer and now it’s available online for all to watch (though, admittedly, I DVR’d “America’s Got Talent” so I can watch Howard Stern’s debut appearance when I get back from Cannes).
Additionally, as you can see above, yet another poster prominently featured here in Cannes atop the hotel rooftops is one for Spidey’s 3-D return to theaters come July 3.
Directed by Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) and starring Andrew Garfield in the title role, the story focuses on Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance — leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
