Sony Hacking Scandal Reveals 'Ghostbusters' Reboot News

The recent Sony hacking scandal is certainly revealing lots of shocking Hollywood details and despite its seediness, we're getting info on some projects we've been wondering about. Namely, the Ghostbusters reboot.

Over at the Daily Beast, they reveal the (alleged) content of emails between Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment and original Ghostbusters director/producer, Ivan Reitman regarding casting considerations for the reboot.

Also, there's a more yucky-feeling email from David Steinberg, head of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s legal department, to Leah Weil, SPE’s general counsel. This particular one from October 31, 2013 reveals potential legal action against Bill Murray due to his reluctance to star in the female-centric film. Because of course he's totally obligated to be in that film, right? No.

Here is the content of the Bill Murray email:

Final Trailer Released for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'

Without further ado, here's the final trailer for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." Remember guys, it's all in the wrist. The film swings into theaters on May 2.

Plot Summary:
We've always known that Spider-Man's most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," Peter Parker finds that his greatest battle is about to begin.

It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp.

Trailer Previews for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'

The trailer for Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” is being released this week but over at ComicBookMovie.com, they gave us a very brief peek. The clips are of the “don’t blink or you’ll miss it" variety and the text is in Spanish. However, that text hints at what the possible subtitle may be…"La Amenzana De Electro," or "The Rise of Electro.” That sounds a little jazzier, doesn’t it?

Here’s a description of the film, thanks to comicbookmovies.com:

In "The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2," for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

After the jump, check out these webtastic photos from the film, compliments of IGN, then watch the videos. Remember, check back here for the official trailer in two days and keep up-to-date by "liking" Spidey's official Facebook page. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" will be in theaters May 2, 2014.

Fans of the comic book and Spideyverse have been anticipating this since the announcement of the sequel, and some fans have been expecting it since the release of The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012.

Minor spoiler but it is pretty common pop culture knowledge that Gwen Stacy
