Amazing Spider-Man
February 14, 2011
Yes ladies and gentlemen, as many people have said for months, the title for the rebooted Spider-Man film will be Amazing Spider-Man. Not really surprising or groundbreaking but I am thankful that we finally have something to call it rather than the Spider-Man Reboot. I am grateful as well that its a title that’s easily shortened to Amazing or even ASM, much like Empire or Jedi, to help us nerds quickly differentiate between films.
Also they’ve released a new picture of the costume.
This is a nice contrast to the many spy photos that have been floating around raising the blood-pressure of fanboys accross the net, as this is likely how the costume will look when photographed. Aparently the cameras they are using (for the eventual 3D release of the film) photograph differently than conventional cameras so the costume and lighting has to look a little different. That’s probably why the costume has looked so bland. This one shows the lines, the webbing, the full mask (though sadly tilted so we can’t see it entirely), the webshooters and the colours. The only thing missing are the ridiculous boots that has so many people seemingly upset. While I am still not a fan of the lines or the weird angles and such, they are growing on me and when posed like this (how the character will probably appear for a lot of the film), a lot of the costume makes sense. The majority of the details and design elements are on the face, shoulders, hands and feet, the rest (that has looked particularly bland) will often be obscured.
All in all I am getting more excited as the release date approaches and I hope that this movie is able to succeed where the previous films failed so hard.
