The Amazing Spider-Man teaser is out

Sony Pictures teased the latest incarnation of the web-slinging superhero adventure, which doesn't hit US theaters until July 3, at preview events held at movie theaters in 13 cities around the world, with the cast and filmmakers appearing in Los Angeles, New York, Rio de Janeiro and London.

The event began with the debut of the 3-D full-length Amazing Spider-Man trailer, and debut online. The trailer featured footage of Andrew Garfield as a charmingly awkward Peter Parker being bullied at school, testing out his new gadgets and battling the villainous Lizard.
