Slashdot Mirror
Spider-Man 2 Preview Online
Several folks noted that you can now see the first
trailers for Spider-man 2, provided you have some broadband action going on. It's nice to know that there will be something to look forward to after RotK comes out.

Clearly Dr. Octopus is the nemesis, but I read the Lizard will be in this movie as well. Maybe he will appear in a future trailer?
Get it up on Quicktime/Apple like all other trailers, you bastards.
Yahoo has more bandwidth than God, man. They're advertising this on their front page, so I imagine they're ready for some serious hits.

I figured after Return of the King, that was it for my life, and I was ready to commit suicide.
Dude, what are you thinking? At least wait for the DVD to come out next summer. Or if you want to really hang around, Peter Jackson has discussed the possibility of filming "The Hobbit" after he completes his King Kong remake.
Personally, I think they could keep the WETA Workshop busy by doing a TV series of various storylines from the Silmarillion & Book of Lost Tales...
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
I bet this is mostly done to prevent copying. When will people realise that this just stops your advert from being seen by the most people.
Or maybe to make it work on more platforms? Macromedia's plugin is installed on all windows machines by default, and is easy to install under linux as well. Quicktime and WMP don't have nearly the same default install base. I wish they'd do more movie trailers using flash, as neither quicktime nor WMP work as a plugin on my system, usually resulting in me screwing around with wget looking for source urls to get anything useful out of apple.com's crap traliers.
Actually, that's not true. If you don't feeling like rewatching the original movie, just watch this trailer. The spider-sense is definately still there as a subconscious feeling/reflex. The fact that he also has the ability to think in "bullet-time" does not replace the vital, near-psychic spider-sense -- it's just something additional to it.

"Not long ago, we were having a conversation about this subject and I was saying that Doc Oc needs to be the next Spiderman villian and that it would really be cool if a batman was done that featured Ra's Al Guhl"
Join the club. Ever since WB was toying with the "Batman Year One" storyline, I had been posting on AICN that that idea was a mistake and that they should pit Bats up with Al Ghul instead of retreading on past movies. I was estatic when the rumors started appearing that Al Ghul was indeed the main villain. I had hoped screenwriter David Goyer had included Al Ghul's daughter Talia as a character (to which I wanted Monica Bellucci to portray) but apparently the film is Talia-less and instead we'll have Katie Holmes as Bruce Wayne's girlfriend named "Rachel" instead.
As for Spidey meets Doc Ock, that had been the plan since the 80s when the "Spider-Man" film property was in the hands of the Cannon Group. Screenwriter Ted Newsom wrote several scripts for Spidey's origin film with Ock as the main villain. He is in fact suing Marvel and Sony over several of his script elements appearing in Spidey1 yet he did not receive a screenwriting credit...
"Right now, somewhere in this world, Scott Baio is plowing a woman he doesn't love," - Peter Griffin, *Family Guy*
Should he be known as Dr. Quadrapus then?
And no, his real arms and legs don't count.
He went from a 4 limbed creature to an 8 limbed creature.
Why YOU don't count the first 4 is your problem.
You can't take the sky from me...

I think its so that SONY can use it as a marketing research tool. With the trailer distributed all over the map they cannot get an accurate assessmet of the film's potential. With a larger more accurate forecast they can hit up McDonalds or Burger King or whatever franchise that sells movie tie ins for more $$$.
