Help Catch "The Amazing Spider-Man" With New Viral Site

A new viral website called WebbedMenace.com has launched to help promote this summer's superhero reboot "The Amazing Spider-Man"

The site features a news report with comments from NYPD captain George Stacy (Denis Leary) telling viewers that Spidey (Andrew Garfield), has been spotted at various crime scenes throughout the city. In a faithful nod to the current comics, the clip appears to be from a cable channel imprint of the Daily Bugle the newspaper run by frequent antagonist and Spidey-hater J. Jonah Jameson.

As a way for the fan community to get involved, the site asks for people to email photos of any sort that proves any Spider-Man sighting (which, of course, they will have created on their own), and will offer a gallery of the best fan-made scenes. There is also a telephone number that people can call, though that just directs people back to the website.




Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen Chris Zylka Emma Stone and Sally Field also star.

The script penned by James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent sees the wall crawler take on the Lizard (Ifans) Marc Webb called action. The reboot spins into theaters on July 3rd 2012 The sequel arrives in 2014.
