/Film and First Showing Screened The Amazing Spider-Man Footage and Vlogged About It. - By now, you probably know that The Amazing Spider-Man has an official theatrical trailer making waves on the web. In all honesty, as much of a fanboy I can be, I was dreading this release because of the fact that it's a re-boot of a franchise whose last installment was released only 5 years ago. In short, that's lame; Lame, lame lame. That was until I actually saw the trailer.

By now, you probably know that The Amazing Spider-Man has an official theatrical trailer making waves on the web. In all honesty, as much of a fanboy I can be, I was dreading this release because of the fact that it’s a re-boot of a franchise whose last installment was released only 5 years ago. In short, that’s lame; Lame, lame lame.

That was until I actually saw the trailer.

Not gonna lie, that was pretty awesome, and I don’t just mean seeing Emma Stone with blonde hair. We’re finally getting a Spidey flick that features The Lizard, something I’ve personally been anticipating.

Now I could go on about the trailer that you’ve all seen, but the dudes from /film actually attended a sneak peek and talked about it with Alex from FirstShowing on Vimeo.

Sony Pictures held worldwide sneak peek event for The Amazing Spider-Man on Monday in 13 cities. “The Untold Story Begins” events took place simultaneously, with the cast and filmmakers appearing live in various cities, connecting with each other though live satellite feeds in Los Angeles, New York City, Rio de Janeiro and London. Almost a thousand fans lined up at the AMC Theater in Century City, CA, many more than Sony had anticipated. The studio added additional screenings of the footage (sans in-theater celebrity appearances) to satisfy most of the fans who showed up.

Here’s the video in question:

/Film also did a really great written breakdown of the preview footage, you can read that in their post. I’d recommend doing that. I mean, they obviously worked really hard on it.
