Sony Snags 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Writers for Third Film The writing gang of Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner is once again caught in the spider’s web.
In a gloriously nerdy Tweet, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 director Marc Webb has revealed the trailer to his Spidey sequel will debut in 3D ahead of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
For those familiar with Elvish runes (holla!), this translates to: WATCH FOR THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 TRAILER IN FRONT OF THE HOBBIT IN 3D.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is the second part of Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, and will hit theatres December 13. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 meanwhile will release May 2, 2014.
An Editorial from Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson
Last night, I walked out of the 6-train at 96th Street, only to be greeted by a freshly painted graffiti tag of a large red spider painted on a wooden construction fence.
Generally, I ignore the “modern art” of the masses. I must be far too uncivilized to appreciate the subtle nuances of the work. But in this case, the meaning was not open to interpretation.
Do the young people of this city really want to turn the mysterious creature known as Spider-Man into some kind of modern-day Robin Hood?
It has been three months since the terrorist attack at Oscorp Tower in Midtown Manhattan. Three months since a man who had changed into a seven-foot tall lizard battled against another man in a red and blue unitard who could crawl up walls. Three months since the city was introduced to a new status quo, one that will adversely affect the entire planet. It has been three months, and we know nothing more about the man called Spider-Man than we did on that terrible night.
This masked, web-slinging vigilante has refused to identify himself. He has given no public statements. He has refused to be interviewed by the police. He has repeatedly refused requests from the media, including from this paper, to provide some assurance to the people of this city that he means us no harm.
Who appointed him as the new sheriff in town? I didn’t. Did you?
What gives him the moral, much less legal, authority to decide who deserves punishment and how that punishment should be doled out?
Heroes do not need to promote their actions, but they also do not hide from the people they help. Until Spider-Man tells us more about himself, he is no hero. I dare him to prove me wrong.
Oscar® - and Grammy-winning composer Hans Zimmer will work with Pharrell Williams, Johnny Marr, Michael Einziger, and Dave Stewart to create music for The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, it was announced today by Lia Vollack, president of Worldwide Music for Sony Pictures. The film, directed by Marc Webb from a screen story and screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, is produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be released in theaters domestically on May 2, 2014, and international release dates commence April 16, 2014.
Commenting on the announcement, Zimmer said, “Marc and I were talking about Spider-Man, and as the word got out, so many of our friends and musicians started calling us up, wanting to be a part of it, because they love Spider-Man. That was the thing that united all of us – the great love for Spider-Man. With all of these hugely talented people wanting to join us, it was Marc who said, ‘Why not start a band?’ Marc and I have had a great start jamming with everybody, and we still have a few surprises up our sleeve.”
Vollack added, “This kind of collaboration is only possible because of who Marc Webb is – not only a director but also a musician – combined with who Hans is and what Spider-Man means to so many people. Nobody has ever approached film music in this way before and this likely can never be replicated. We’re huge fans of Hans, Pharrell, Johnny, Mike, and Dave, and when combined, we know the result will be truly unique… and amazing!”
Zimmer, a nine-time Oscar® nominee and winner for his work on The Lion King, previously collaborated with Williams on the film Despicable Me, as Williams produced four original solo songs and several other character-sung pieces. They later collaborated on the music for the 84th Annual Academy Awards®. Marr played on Zimmer’s score for the hit film Inception, Einziger played on his score for The Lone Ranger, and Stewart played with Zimmer on the score for Madagascar 3.
Hans Zimmer has composed the scores for more than 100 films taking in more than 17 billion dollars. His many credits include scoring the Pirates of the Caribbean blockbusters, Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, 12 Years a Slave, Rush, Man of Steel, Sherlock Holmes, The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, Gladiator, The Thin Red Line, Rain Man, and many, many more. He has been honored with an Academy Award®, two Golden Globes and four Grammys. In 2003, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers presented him the prestigious Henry Mancini Award for Lifetime Achievement for his impressive and influential body of work.
Pharrell Williams, a three-time Grammy winner, is one of the world’s most in-demand and influential music producers and recording artists. This summer, Williams became the 12th artist to hold the #1 and #2 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously as he was featured on two songs – Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” also featuring T.I., which Williams also produced, and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” which Williams co-wrote – both of which have been called the “Song of Summer.” He has previously composed songs and the score for the hit animated films Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2.
Johnny Marr rose to fame as co-songwriter and founder member of The Smiths. Since then, Marr has continued to push boundaries and work with some of the world’s most exciting musical artists, including Modest Mouse, The The, Pet Shop Boys, Talking Heads, and Beck. This year NME awarded Marr the Godlike Genius award. He recently released the critically acclaimed solo album, “The Messenger.”
Michael Einziger is the founder/guitarist/songwriter for the groundbreaking band Incubus. “Wake Me Up,” the worldwide smash he co-wrote with Avicii, has been #1 in 70 countries. As an acclaimed record producer, he produced/co-wrote/executive produced three projects set for release in the coming months: Chuck Inglish, Yuna and the Internet (Odd Future). In addition to scoring the Josh Duhamel film Scenic Route he has scored Supremacy and is working on three additional film projects. Einziger previously collaborated with Zimmer on The Lone Ranger, for which he composed additional music.
Dave Stewart is recognized as one of the most respected and accomplished talents in the music industry. “He’s the musician’s musician.” – Rolling Stone. Stewart’s music career spans three decades and more than 100 million album sales, highlighted by his collaboration with Annie Lennox in the groundbreaking pop-rock duo Eurythmics. Behind the scenes, he has produced albums and co-written songs for Bono, Bryan Ferry, Gwen Stefani, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Katy Perry, and Mick Jagger. Beyond his creative work as a musician, he is a renowned producer, author, director, photographer, filmmaker, and philanthropist. Stewart recently released a solo album, Lucky Numbers.
But true :P The reason of why Horner's score for the first film was great is because it was unique, and it didn't sounded like the other Marvel scores which all sounded like Zimmer. It was very especial and made you feel Peter's emotions.
The reason of why Zimmer was brought is because the producers want the score to sound like Man of Steel, throwing what Horner established on the first film to have Zimmer doing the same sound he did on Batman and Superman.
Yeah i just realized it will be released in March in the US. But as for now, both will be released in April/May in Belgium. They haven't the exact release dates yet as far as i know.
Zimmer should stop acting like a rockstar and to start writing real film music.
Atleast Zimmer's scores have repeat value. Between Inception, Dark Knight, and Man of Steel (Angels and Demons to a lesser extent) I could care less if I ever here another score again. Those were perfect and leagues ahead of any other tripe that's come out in recent years.
I play the Dream is Collapsing and Waiting for a Train cues in my head EVERY SINGLE DAY during daily activities.
I downloaded Horner's score last year and listened to it for all of about 2 days before deleting it.
"If you make yourself more than just a man... If you devote yourself to an ideal... You become something else entirely- A Legend."
Brazilian website Cinepop has revealed that the title of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be "O ESPETACULAR HOMEM-ARANHA: A AMEAÇA DE ELECTRO". According to the site, this translates to The Amazing Spider-Man: Rise of Electro, and confirms earlier reports that the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man will have a subtitle.
