Work on Marc Webb’s Spider-Man sequel is coming along nicely. It seems the majority of the cast is in place and filming will start soon. Two of the new additions to the movie were out and about promoting their movies at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Shailene Woodley, who will be playing Mary Jane Watson, and Dane DeHaan, Harry Osborn, talked a little about the upcoming Spidey movie.

Woodley spoke with MTV about joining the cast and how excited she was about the film. The actress couldn’t reveal too much, but she said she’s a fan of the character and really enjoyed the reboot:

Spider-Man has always been my favorite super hero dude, since I was a little girl. I think there’s something really special about flying. When I watched the previous Spider-Man with Andrew Garfield, he made me feel invincible. I think Marc Webb is amazing. I’m so stoked to work with Andrew and Emma [Stone], they’re the best of the best.

She went on to say that she didn’t know any real details about the film, but she assumes she’ll be part of a love triangle if the comics are anything to go by. Woodley also hinted that she’d be making the transition and become a redhead soon. You can watch the full video interview by clicking here.

Chronicle break-out star Dane DeHaan also chatted about The Amazing Spider-Man sequel while on the red carpet for his film with Daniel “Harry Potter” Radcliffe called Kill Your Darlings. The actor remained tight lipped on what he knows, but he did confirm that he will be involved in a love triangle. Is it with Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane, Aunt May? We’ll have to wait and find out. The director of Darlings may have spoiled a big plot point for the film though. HitFix reports an incident that occured during the cast introductions:

[Director] Krokidas introduced the cast of “Darlings” which includes Daniel Radcliffe, Ben Foster and Michael C. Hall. When he got to DeHaan he said “He’s the Green Goblin.” DeHaan just smiled, but it didn’t seem like Krokidas was kidding.

Is this a case of a director who doesn’t know a lot about comics or is Webb planning on skipping Norman and having Harry don the Green Goblin gear? I would say it’s the first, but it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if the second happened. The Green Goblin was used in Sam Raimi’s first film, so it would be a little too soon to simply rehash the character. What do you think? Would you be pleased if Harry is the first Green Goblin?

Michael Worthan, Amazing Spider-Man Release November 9th!

I was given the opportunity to get a first look at not only the Amazing Spider-Man DVD, but also the extras and deleted scenes that come along with owning this movie. The first thing I did after getting this in the mail, you know besides a slight happy dance that then became a major happy dance, I popped this in and went immediately for the special features. I started watching the deleted and extended scenes and quickly realized that although these would have been great for a directors cut, it was a good idea to take them out for the cinematic feature.

We get to see some more in depth looks at scenes that not only build up to the death of Uncle Ben, but also deals with the transformation of Dr. Curt Connors (played by actor Rhys Ifans) and his actual reasons for constantly turning to the serum that turns him into the horrifying villain the Lizard.

After watching the deleted scenes, and watching the movie minus the director Marc Webb’s commentary, I then watched it in exactly that way, with the directors commentary on. It was an interesting watch, and sort of a struggle for me as I’ve never been a huge fan of watching DVDs that way. Still though nonetheless I suggest buying this DVD if you’re a Spidey fan and enjoying all the amazing extras that come with all the different sets.

Michael Worthan, The Amazing Spider-Man DVD Review

The “Web Rush” will allow players to have real-time control of their navigation through the scenario, and their choices of combat. Players can activate it at any time and will be presented with a broader scope of probabilities. Thus, the ability allows players to view the outcomes in all possible situations, which leads Spidey to create more refined movements and strikes.

The events of the game will take place after the movie, and have an open world game where the player must fight threats to the city and many criminals. The writer Seamus Kevin Fahey (Spartacus: Gods of the Arena) is responsible for the plot.

The Amazing Spider-Man will be released in mid 2012 for Xbox 360, PlayStation, Wii and Nintendo 3DS.
