"The all important red-and-blue outfit went through various (re)designs - but crucial to them all, according to Webb, was that they had to look like they were made by one student and his sowing machine.

"His eyes are popped-out lenses from his sunglasses and his feet are threads from shoes. We thought about what material Peter would have access to"

Yeah, it looks like he "sewed" together that costume. Suuuuuuuuuurrrrreeeeee.

And why would he pick YELLOW sunglass lenses over DARK?

[webhead2006]

Haha ya, if they wanted a home made suit at least for his first attempt suit, I would have gone something akin to kickass movie suit.

[Comicbookfan-V2]

I understand that their going for a home made style suit but it would have been nice if the designs were more traditional rather than lesser even if they were trying to go for something diffrerent than what was already done! Also, if the really wanted to go for something that can be done home made style then they should go with other materials. The kind that fanboys would commonly use to create suits that can be presented at a Comic-Con convention, even they put alittle effort in creating costumes that would give a hellava impression!

Looks like we called it here. Webb wants the suit (at least at first) to look homemade and kind of cheap but probably some fucking toy designer got in there and made some "busy" piece of shit outfit. It's the worst of both worlds- a fairly modern superhero suit with shading, textures... with sunglasses and tennis shoes.

I love that instead of it looking like WEBBING, it's just a bunch of squares.

And what MALE is going to sew garters down their legs like that??

Kurtzman and Orci to Work on Screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 by SuperHeroHype April 24, 2012 Share this story

Production to start in the first quarter of 2013

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are coming on board to work on the screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony Pictures announced today. They will also receive Executive Producer credits.

The first draft for May 2, 2014 release was written by James Vanderbilt. Production is tentatively scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2013 on the next "Spider-Man" film.

Producer Matt Tolmach said: "Alex and Bob have a unique ability to write great character and spectacular action that makes them pitch perfect for Spider-Man. They've been friends of ours for a long time and they have an exciting take on the franchise – we're thrilled to have them join the Spider-Man family."

Producer Avi Arad added: "It's a thrill to have Alex and Bob put their stamp on this franchise that we all love so well. They have an innate understanding of what makes Peter Parker not just a superhero, but a hero for all of us."

Kurtzman and Orci said: "We grew up as huge Spider-Man fans so, to us, the opportunity to work on this film is akin to being handed the Holy Grail. We love the direction Sony and the filmmakers are taking the Peter Parker/Spider-Man mythology and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of this legendary franchise."

The first film, The Amazing Spider-Man, opens in theaters this summer on July 3.

Together for over eighteen years, creative collaborators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci have established themselves as one of the leading writing/producing teams working in film and television.

This June, the duo will release People Like Us for Disney, which will mark the directorial debut of Alex Kurtzman. The film, starring Elizabeth Banks and Chris Pine, is written by Kurtzman & Orci and Jody Lambert. They are also in production on Ender's Game and Now You See Me, both of which will be released by Summit in 2013. They are also producing and scripting a second installment of Star Trek with Damon Lindelof and All You Need is Kill, starring Tom Cruise and directed by Doug Liman. Erwin Stoff serves as producer of the film which is set up at Warner Bros.

In 2011, Kurtzman & Orci released the comic book adaptation of Cowboys & Aliens, which they wrote with scribe Damon Lindelof as well as produced. That same year, they signed a three-year overall television deal with 20th Century Fox. This latest TV development season the duo have set up pilots at the FOX, CBS, and ABC Networks, adding to their ever-growing television slate, a list that includes CBS's "Hawaii Five-O," Fox's "Fringe," and The Hub's "Transformers: Prime."

Kurtzman and Orci's writing credits include Star Trek, Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Eagle Eye and Mission: Impossible III. They also executive-produced the romantic comedy hit, The Proposal.

Kurtzman and Orci began their career writing for the popular television series "Hercules" and "Xena: Warrior Princess," where they quickly became head writers at the age of 23. Next, they wrote for J.J. Abrams' "Alias," and eventually served as executive producers on the show.

Will Spider-Man stitch thigh highs onto his costume this time?

I'm back from Vegas! All that travel means I'm a bit behind on some news, so while this happened yesterday I wanted to bring it up today...

Sony is looking at The Amazing Spider-Man as an investment. I've heard some really mixed things about the movie - much of which originates from INSIDE Sony - but no matter how the film does (unless the film is an unmitigated disaster, and that won't happen with a property like this), they're coming back for a sequel.

We'll see if The Amazing Spider-Man is as troubled as I've heard (the stories that come to me are that the execs hate it, and you can never tell when the execs are right or when they're stupid, stupid suits). -badassdigest.com

[webhead2006]

Just was reading that news myself. I for one would be very pissed if it totally blows. Sure there is some details we have that are not that great. But for me at least been fairly happy with news/image/pics/clips we have seen so far. Though on the other hand this sony exec bad mouthing it. Maybe its just one of those folks who don't care for cbm movies and think they are trash. We will see in coming months I guess.

Hey Puncher, my memory isn't what it used to be but, um, didn't somebody around here openly oppose this reboot from the very beginning? I swear to think someone did. Or maybe a couple of someones. Oy, my mind goes blank...

Grarrgh, put your GD mask on...

[webhead2006]

Ya that is one thing I am sick with the films the uneeded unmasking/losing mask from spidey. I get they want to show off the actor and all. But could you do that still with a half damaged mask.. that atleast still covers who he is.

Why did they even bother making a mask for his costume?

[thecolorsblend]

*checking out costume design*
Garfield- "Whoa, wait, I thought Spider-Man had a mask on his costume. Doesn't he? Or is that something the Evil Dead guy just invented for his movies?"
Webb- *blinks slowly* "Crap, can't remember. Anybody got a comic book?"
Garfield- "I thought you banned those from the set because you didn't want them to interfere with your vision."
Webb- "Oh yeah, good point. Hmm..."

Mask? Secret identity? Hell with it, that's for pikers.

Expect the "Lizard/Koopa" to have the lab coat on the very first time he changes, then never again.

One thing this film is proving, again, is that Louise Mingenhack and Bryan Singer are fucking retards:



"Bright red and blue just won't work onscreen these days..."

Idiots.
