    Amazing Spiderman sequel to hit Indian shores a day before US screens

    NEW DELHI: The first trailer of The Amazing Spider Man 2, which will see its Indian release a day prior to the release in US, has been released.

     

    Presently in English, the trailer will soon be out in Hindi as well.

     

    The film is being released by Sony Entertainment Pictures in 2D, 3D and IMAX on 1 May in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The US release will be on 2 May.

     

    Actor Vivek Oberoi will be lending his voice in the Hindi version for the role of Max Dillon aka Electro. In the original English version, Electro is played by Oscar winning actor Jamie Foxx.

     

    Sony Pictures India MD Kercy Daruwala said: “We are very happy to have Vivek on board for the Hindi version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The Hindi version is a large part of our box office and it’s a very important role that Vivek will be playing in its success. Vivek has played a villain so brilliantly in the past and is already a familiar face in the genre. Kids in particular love him.”

     

    Oberoi, ecstatic on giving his voice to Electro said: “I have always been a huge fan of the Spider-Man comics and films and am thrilled to see that the franchise has just grown bigger and better with each film. I have been tremendously excited for The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s release ever since the first trailer came out, and when I was offered to voice Electro for the Hindi version, I was immediately interested in this unique opportunity. Max Dillon/Electro is an immensely fascinating and complex character and it will be interesting to face off with Spider-Man. After my turn as super villain Kaal in Krrish 3, (which grossed Rs 250 crore at the box office) was incredibly gratifying, this is just the icing on the cake. I have already begun dubbing.”

     

    Directed by Marc Webb, the film has big stars like Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Campbell Scott, Embeth Davidtz, Colm Feore with Paul Giamatti and Sally Field associated with it.

     

    Spider-Man’s most important conflict has been within himself:  the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man.  But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that his greatest battle is about to begin.

    MUMBAI: Andrew Garfield is all set to reprise his role as Peter Parker aka ‘Spider-Man‘ with director Marc Webb in the sequel of the superhero film The Amazing Spider-Man.
    Also in talks to feature in the film is Emma Stone, the real life girlfriend of Garfield, as Parker‘s love interest Gwen Stacy.
    The script for the new film is being penned by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci along with Jeff Pinker, based on an earlier draft by James Vanderbilt.
    Webb, who first came to notice with his indie hit 500 Days of Summer, has successfully rebooted the franchise after director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire quit five years ago.

    MUMBAI Going by the success of The Amazing Spider-Man, director Marc Webb has evinced interest in creating a totally new adversary for the web-slinger.
     
    “I do think it would be tricky to totally invent a major villain, but if I did that it would be The Mime,” Web has reportedly said. “My big contribution would be a villain called The Mime.”

    Insisting that he was kidding, the director said that the character‘s history is so rich with foes that whoever directs a sequel will have plenty of interesting ones to choose from. “I think you have to be pretty protective of the canon when it comes to villains,” he observed. “And Spider-Man has a great rogues gallery, so there‘s a lot to choose from,” he added.

    Meanwhile, Webb said that he feels like the combination of proven story points and new ideas will allow a sequel to depart from iterations of the hero that audiences saw previously. “I wanted to create a universe that works in and of itself for one movie, but I wanted to create a universe that not only can withstand but anticipate future storylines,” he quipped.

    Webb also said that he derived his approach to the film from the one employed by artistes and writers to the comic book itself. “That‘s something I love about the comics — the serialized nature of them,” he averred. “And then certain storylines we‘ll pick up and characters that we‘ll expand upon, but it‘s all part of the mythology that we spent a lot of time developing early on,” he ended.
