Here’s a new Australian trailer for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man,’ which will premier in theaters on July 3, 2012. I have to admit that this film has grown on me with each new trailer I’ve seen. I think my hostilities toward the movie have to do with the fact that we’re getting another origin story. I realize that director Marc Webb and his team are taking a different approach with this interpretation, but how many times do we need to see Peter getting bit by a spider? The cast is impressive, so I hope the movie is too, but I want to know what you think. Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.
