It's Official! Dane DeHaan is set to star as Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and it was announced officially by the director Marc Webb on twitter earlier after a few days of speculation and rumors. There was a short list of actors that were in the running and then some news that producers didn't like the casting ideas and wanted a more "athletic type" Harry. They did a great job on going with Dane. He was amazing earlier in the year with Chronicle. He has the attitude and friendship qualities to him to be amazing in the role. Good choice Marc!
This new additions to the cast are shaping up to be very good so far with Dane and even the odd choice of Jamie Foxx as Electro. I am very intrigued.
Sony is setting up 'The Amazing Spider-man 2' pretty fast already. The first one isn't even out on video yet, but sources are reporting that Sony is in early talks to get the comedian Jamie Foxx to star as the baddie Electro. Little bit out there but I can see it working out.
The villain Electro hasn't made his way to the big screen..yet, while I would contribute it to him not being a famous known villain to modern fans maybe because of the uhmm lets say corny costume. Don't Get me wrong the guy is a major bad guy with gaining his powers to control electricity from getting struck by lightning. Pretty badass.
In the post-credit scene of The Amazing Spider-Man, Dr. Conners is visited by an unseen person asking if Peter found out the truth about his father. The really big easter egg in the scene may be the bad lightning happening in the background. Pretty big giveaway I would say.
Jamie Foxx seems to be more accepting of the rumors without saying they're false, but rather tweeting a pretty funny tweet that either makes him a) a funny sarcastic guy that goes along with rumors to make fans freakout about the tease or b) he is fully saying yes they are true. I'm leaning towards b for the time being but comedians are just that a funny guy.
Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well.

At midnight last night the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man was released online! All I have to say is this will kick old Spider-Man's ass because of its pure awesomeness. Andrew Garfield takes the reigns of Spider-Man and he looks to do an amazing job. The cast is amazing and the way film looks down to the new uniform is flawless.
Even though Spider-Man is one of the biggest comic book characters of all-time, this summer he will be the underdog. I know that sounds weird but with the final chapter of Batman coming and the ultimate geek film in The Avengers coming, there is just a little room left for this reboot gem. The only thing I know for sure is I will be taking my amazing girlfriend to this movie and all the rest. I just know she will enjoy every second of them (multiple times).
The Amazing Spider-Man will sling into theaters on July 3
2012 is here and It will be full of huge blockbusters of all sorts. I won't be surprised if this year will break records in all categories. Here is a list of some of the biggest anticipated films in order of release date not rank. My number one ranked film is The Dark Knight Rises for your information (the 8 times I'll see it will prove that.)
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (March 2)
This isn't that child fairytale we have all been told by our grandparents, this is a brutal action film that will hopefully be awesome. Not to much has been revealed on the film, even though the release is 3 months away. This is a bit scary but I'll give anything with Jeremy Renner a fighting chance. A trailer should be released very soon. Keep a look out.
21 Jump Street (March 16)
Jonah Hill skinny. Enough said. Seriously though it can get tiring with having old 80s sitcoms being made into movies but with comedy angle to it. Some work, most have no chance. I will give this movie a chance with a great cast and a pretty good story. After watching the red band trailer, you will want to see this film too.
The Hunger Games (March 23)
This is the next big teen blockbuster to take the reigns from Twilight or so they hope. The story is actually pretty promising for more than just girls this time. Also, they have some good actors in this movie. So check it out in March.
American Reunion (April 6)
The next chapter in the popular American Pie series, but this one will return to the original cast and theaters again. I'm excited to see Stifler and everyone back for a high school reunion. Trailer proves there is some pretty crazy things going on since the last time and crazy things will happen.
The Cabin in the Woods (April 13)
Finally!! Finally this movie will be released in theaters. After years of being delayed and pushed back and converted in 3D it will hit theaters in a few months. Joss Whedon will be having a great year with 2 movies being released within a few months of each other. Cabin is a twisted horror like movie that I think will turn out really well done.
The Avengers (May 4)
Quite easily the biggest film of 2012 to comic book nerds. It will bring all of The Avengers together for the first time and it will be glorious. I get more Iron Man and more Hawkeye, what more is there for me. Just be ready for when they assemble.
Prometheus (June 8)
Nothing can really be known about this movie other than it will be along the lines of Alien. The trailer even makes it seem like a remake or reboot or prequel. You choose. The actors are all phenomenal and this will be a movie that will make believers out of the doubters.
The Amazing Spider-Man (July 3)
Bless Marc Webb for rebooting Spider-Man into what looks like a spectacular movie. The series really needed to go back to the high-school years and explore that era. This film has the talent to make that happen perfectly. Also, I can't wait to take my girlfriend to see it.
The Dark Knight Rises (July 20)
I have waited years for this film to finally get released. I mean years. This is the end of the best superhero trilogy of all time, and I think it will go out with a huge bang. The trailer gives up chills and it will be a huge hit. I'll let you know how it is after a few (8 at least) times of seeing it.
The Bourne Legacy (August 3)
After 3 really amazing Bourne movies it is time to move on to the next assassin and it's the amazing Renner again. His 3rd movie on my list and I suspect he will have an amazing year with his films. Not much is known about the film other than it's not a sequel or reboot, but a story set in same universe. So I am very intrigued.
NO PIC OR TRAILER YET
(TBA)
The Hobbit (December 14)
After the extremely amazing (long) Lord of the Rings trilogy is finished, we felt like we needed a sequel of some sorts. Well, we will be blessed with a prequel that is full of adventure and dwarfs. The story is so grand we will need 2 films. (Thank god it is not 3 this time) The film looks epic to say the least.
This is a very opinionated list from me and I know there are plenty of movies that everyone is looking forward to see. So list yours down below, may it be (hopefully not) Twilight or another major film.
Columbia Pictures released this awesome image of Andrew Garfield in full Spider-Man costume. We will just guess it's him under there. Also, they announced that the official title will be The Amazing Spider-Man.
The photo gives a fantastic view of Spider-Man in his full suit. The mask is exceptionally awesome to say the least. The eye spots due seem to have an odd golden tint to it, but it still looks very cool. The costume is unbelievably cooler than the old one.
The Amazing Spider-Man hits theaters on July 3rd, 2012
Here is the awesome new image of Spider-Man in full costume
