IN THEATERS IN IMAX, 3D AND REAL D 3D ON TUESDAY, JULY 3RD!
One of the world’s most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in
The Amazing Spider-Man™.
Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter
Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys
Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and
Sally Field. The
film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by James
Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves from a story by James
Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach are producing
the film in association with Marvel Entertainment for Columbia
Pictures, which will open in theaters everywhere in 3D on July 3, 2012.
The Amazing Spider-Man
is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who
was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his
Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is
trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is
today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush,
Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle
with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious
briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand
his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab
of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former
partner. As Spider-Man
is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter
will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny
to become a hero.

My husband is a retired flight medic and I am still an active EMT with our local fire department/ambulance service. Community service has been good to us, since I became an EMT just for that reason (my full-time job is as a massage therapist, but I work 24 hour shifts when I am on the ambulance). If I hadn't become an EMT, I would never have met my husband.
