New footage pops up in Australian THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN trailer

Gwen Stacey and Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is one of my most anticipated movies of this year. While I enjoyed Raimi's interpretation of the web slinger, Marc Webb's approach looks to be far more serious in tone and, I think, more appealing. Over the past several weeks, numerous trailers have popped up online, most of which feature the same recycled footage you've already seen a million times before. After awhile they just get old, and the newest trailer from Australia, which you can catch below, falls into the same camp, despite featuring a bit of extra footage not seen in the others.

While I still have my concerns over the appearance of The Lizard, Curt Connor's is a great villain with which to reboot the series, despite his alter ego looking very much like a Goomba from the dreadful(ly awesome) SUPER MARIO BROS. movie. It's easy to pass judgment without having seen the movie, but it will be hard to top the performance of Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin, even if Raimi did give him a weird suit of armor.

As the film's release date of July 3 gets closer and closer, expect to see a lot more about it popping up all over the web.
