Preview: 'Amazing Spider-Man' Four Minute Super Preview

Columbia Pictures has released a four-minute extended look at this summer's highly anticipated The Amazing Spider-Man. In addition to some previously seen footage from the other trailers, there are exciting new scenes included, the majority of which are at the top of the clip and show Spider-Man saving a young boy from a car that is about to plunge off the Manhattan Bridge.

The dark moody tone has been quite clear from the last few sneak peeks at the reboot of the iconic Marvel Comics wall-crawler, but there is sure to be some of Spider-Man's quick wit included as well. Even looking at some of this footage on a computer screen, it's already apparent that the film will have an epic scope in IMAX 3D.

C. Thomas Howell appears in the bridge sequence as the father of the boy the unmasked Spider-Man rescues following an encounter with The Lizard.  It was Howell who was the first to confirm last March that The Lizard would be the Spidey's adversary in the movie in an interview with Movieweb.

"I play a relatively small role. I play a construction worker who's son is caught in the middle of a battle between the Lizard and Spider-Man on the Manhattan bridge," he revealed.

Directed by Marc Webb (500 Days Of Summer), The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors/ The Lizard, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben, and Sally Field as Aunt May.

The Amazing Spider-Man swings into theaters in 3D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D on July 3rd.
