One of the world’s most popular characters is back on the big screen as
a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in The Amazing
Spider-Man™. Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of
the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone,
Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin
Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a
screenplay written by James Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel Comic Book
by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach
are producing the film in association with Marvel Entertainment for
Columbia Pictures, which will open in theaters everywhere in 3D on July

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

In helming the film, Christopher Nolan employed IMAX® cameras even more extensively than he did on “The Dark Knight,” which had marked the first time ever that a major feature film was partially shot with IMAX cameras.
