The movie will be hitting theaters July 2012 with a game tied into the release!
The Amazing Spider-Man is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Marc Webb based on the comic book of the same name. It is the fourth Columbia Pictures film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man and the first film in a rebooted Spider-Man film franchise.
The cast includes Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone and will follow Peter Parker as he is developing his super powers in high school.
The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to be released in 3D and IMAX 3D on July 3, 2012 in the US and July 4, 2012 in the UK!
Though a video game tie-in is “being planned” for release in 2014, we can assume that it will hit retailers alongside the movie.
The video game was announced at the 2011 New York Comic Con. The game will be developed by Beenox, the team behind the previous two Spider-Man games, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Spider-Man: Edge of Time.
According to GameStop, the game will “Go beyond the movie to experience what it’s like to BE Spider-Man like never before. Set shortly after the events of Columbia Pictures’ new film, The Amazing Spider-Man throws New York City’s brand new hero back into free-roaming, web-slinging action, as he protects the Big Apple from a deluge of unimaginable threats.” – Source: Wikipedia
