Any thoughts true believers?

The Amazing Spider-Man is set for release on July 3, 2012 and stars Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, along with Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Rhys Ifans, and more.

The three pictures appear to be shots of Oscorp Industries, Spider-Man kicking some butt in a subway (or factory?), and finally what appears to be Peter Parker’s apartment.

According to Dee Brown’s Twitter page, an official trailer for the came should be coming sometime in the near future and, with the Columbia Pictures film set to be released on July 2nd, 2012, we also have an idea of when to expect the full game to hit shelves.

Black sat down with the great people at Comic Book Resources during the Long Beach Comic Con for a discussion about both his career and the upcoming sequel. Here’s what he had to say about Iron Man 3 and “Demon In A Bottle”:

CBR: When talking about “Iron Man,” you’ve mentioned “Demon In A Bottle” a couple of times — is that sort of darker tone something that you want to play with in the movie?

Black: No, because if we go there — it’s part of Tony’s character, but I think the “Demon In A Bottle” aspect, if you go there, you really have to go there. The film then becomes about that, because the journey that involves recovering from alcoholism is an entire movie. I mean, I want to keep it dark and interesting and edgy and spicy and all those things, but I don’t think we want to go as far as to deal with Tony’s descent into alcoholic madness. That’s maybe not where we want to be.

Without further ado, the new Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol trailer:

Scorcese screened an unfinished cut of the film at the New York Film Festival (an incredibly rare occurrence), and the audience reactions were reportedly quite positive.

Here is the official synopsis of the film:

Throughout his extraordinary career, Academy Award-wining director Martin Scorsese has brought his unique vision and dazzling gifts to life in a series of unforgettable films. This holiday season the legendary storyteller invites you to join him on a thrilling journey to a magical world with his first-ever 3-D film, based on Brian Selznick’s award-winning, imaginative New York Times best-seller, “The Invention of Hugo Cabret.” HUGO is the astonishing adventure of a wily and resourceful boy whose quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform Hugo and all those around him, and reveal a safe and loving place he can call home.

Hugo is set for release in 3D and 2D theaters on November 23.

According to Variety both Warner Bros. and Collet-Serra want Tron: Legacy lead Garrett Hedlund to star in the film.

Here is the trailer for the Blu-Ray release of the original film:

Originally released as a serialized manga in 1982, Akira the anime is a cyber punk science fiction film that was released in 1988 and is considered by many to be the greatest representative of the anime art form.

Set for release in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D theaters on Dec. 21, The Adventures of Tintin is being produced by Peter Jackson, with plans for Spielberg to produce and Jackson to direct the film’s sequel.  Here is the official synopsis:

Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures Present a 3D Motion Capture Film “The Adventures of Tintin” directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Steven Moffat and Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish. Starring Jamie Bell (“Billy Elliot,” “Defiance”) as Tintin, the intrepid young reporter whose relentless pursuit of a good story thrusts him into a world of high adventure, and Daniel Craig (“Quantum of Solace,” “Defiance”) as the nefarious Red Rackham.

The Adventures of Tintin first appeared in 1929 and was created by the Belgian artist Georges Rémi, who wrote under the pen name of Hergé.

I really enjoyed the Tintin cartoons as a child and the talent behind the new film are among the greatest storytellers of the last century, this will be a must see film for the holidays.

I’m not one to over analyze trailers, but it looks as though we can expect a massive battle in what I believe is New York City, along with endless amounts of witty banter between the eclectic personalities within the group. The film is set for a May 4th, 2012 release and it’s going to be wild. Here is the official synopsis of the movie:

Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “Marvel’s The Avengers”–the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.

Here is the official synopsis of the Hiroshi Sakurazak penned manga,

L to R (Western Style). There’s one thing worse than dying. It’s coming back to do it again and again… When the alien Gitai invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many raw recruits shoved into a suit of battle armor and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to find himself reborn each morning to fight and die again and again.
