3. Amazing Spider-Man

  Indie filmmaker Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) takes Peter Parker back to high school for what the promo poster calls “the untold story” shot in 3D.  

  Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, Never Let Me Go) is the new Spider Man, now with his home-made web shooters and Emma Stone is his first love Gwen Stacy. Rhys Ifans is Dr. Curt Connors. Peter’s mentor who will transform into the Lizard.

  Martin Sheen and Sally Field are Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Denis Leary is Police Captain George Stacy. The untold story may reveal the secret agent past of Peter’s parents played by Campbell Scott and Embeth Davitz

  It may seem to soon for a reboot but I think this new spin on Spider-Man has all the elements to swing big at the box office.
