The Amazing Spider-Man gets two new posters, plus a terrible Japanese trailer.
I'm assuming these aren't the last posters, as they don't have any credits at the bottom. Or are we past the point where full-blown theatrical one-sheets have to list any kind of credits anymore? Anyway, the art for both of these look pretty solid. Below the jump is the new Japanese trailer for the film. In a word, it's awful. The footage is fine, but it's has a painfully trite bit of voice-over monologuing in the middle and is cut together like a bad fan-edit. Considering that the Japanese trailers for The Avengers and Brave were the best from their respective marketing campaign, we can only presume that Disney international is better at this than Sony International. Anyway, I presume we'll get a second domestic trailer for this one attached to The Avengers in about three weeks, followed by screenings starting up after the opening weekend of geek-centric Prometheus (June 8th). The film opens on July 3rd. As always, we'll see.
