Will The Amazing Spider-Man (currently filming around New York City) be more successful than the disastrous musical on Broadway? Because, you know, there's no James Franco in this one... so it's not looking so good. Will Andrew Garfield be able to fill Tobey Maguire's Spidey costume? That's what some superfans are asking. And will we ever get a real peek at what this movie's villain, The Lizard, looks like? Not if they keep him under wraps.
Still, the comic book nerds are out in full force stalking the production, which has been posting signs under the name Fiona's Tale, and reports back that the Hearst Tower has been turned into Oscorp Industries Headquarters! (The weapons manufacturer founded by the Osborn family—R.I.P. Harry.)
Security has been tight around location shoots, but through tomorrow they'll be filming an overnight stunt scene at 133rd and 12th, which you can see the set-up for below. Go forth, nerds, and send us your photos.
