I had a feeling this was coming: Two years after songwriter Ryan Bingham photo-bombed his own Oscar-nominee luncheon group photo, the customary portrait once again met its match with animators Brandon Oldenburg and William Joyce. Good for them! Someone ‘s gotta have some fun at these things. The filmmakers, whose The Fantastic Flying Books Of Mr. Morris Lessmore is nominated for Best Animated Short, just barely edged out a slightly crimson Nick Nolte as the annual group photo highlight. Congrats to all, and find the full portrait and more from Monday’s luncheon at the Academy’s Web site . Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

As previewed earlier today for select audiences around the globe, here’s Sony’s brand spankin’ new theatrical trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man . ( Find my full detailed Spider-Man preview Q&A recap, including descriptions of the sizzle reel that has not yet been released, here. ) Take a look and weigh in, Spidey fans — is this the version of the Marvel superhero we both need and deserve? Personally, I’m digging Garfield’s more confident Peter Parker AND his Spidey more than Tobey Maguire’s renditions, and I’m impressed with Emma Stone’s ability to inject even the barest of one-second scene snippets with personality and zip. We’ve yet to be given a really good extended look at The Lizard’s CG-heavy effects, but yeah, that looks like a lizard-man alright. Sling your reactions to Garfield’s Parker/Spider-Man, Stone’s Gwen Stacy, and any of the Spidey spectacle on display here in the comments below. The Marc Webb-directed reboot swings into theaters July 3.

Daniel and Danger tell MTV News what they’re looking forward to on the latest episode, which airs tonight at 10 p.m. ET. By Christina Garibaldi Matt “Danger” and Daniel of “Caged” teach MTV News’ Christina Garibaldi fighting moves Photo: MTV News The stars of MTV’s new docu-series “Caged” have been in the ring with some of the fiercest competitors in their league. They’ve been punched, kicked and even knocked unconscious. Yet, when two of the stars from the show, Daniel and Matt (a.k.a Danger) , visited New York City, we put them up against their toughest competition yet: Me. That’s right, I put Daniel and Danger up to the ultimate challenge of teaching me MMA. After much instruction, I was taught to punch, kick and work my way out of what they call a “schoolyard headlock,” which is not as easy as it may look. Even though they assured me I was ready to enter the cage, I think I will leave the fighting up to them. After our workout, we took Daniel and Danger to the heart of New York: Times Square. Just a few months ago, these two could have never dreamt of leaving their small town of Minden, Louisiana, but as they strolled through Times Square for the first time, these two were both mesmerized as they took in the sights and sounds and their newfound fame. “It is an adjustment,” Daniel said. “I’m dealing with it pretty good, though. It’s just trying to get used to people acting like I’m a superstar or something.” Fans might think they know everything about Daniel, but with the fifth episode airing Monday (February 6) at 10 p.m. ET, he is ready for everyone to see a new side. “I can’t wait for the fans to see me being more open,” Daniel said. “The honest side of me, because I hate if there’s any chance of me being fake. I want to be honest to everybody. I don’t like lying to people or being fake, that’s one of the biggest things for me.” Danger, who faced his toughest opponent in last week’s episode, wants fans to recognize just how much he has developed as a fighter. “I’m just excited for everybody to see my fights. I worked really hard at this,” Danger said. “I love fighting. I take it very seriously. I plan on moving forward with it in the future. I’m really excited for everyone to see my fights and see me grow as a fighter and as a person through the season.” Don’t miss “Caged” every Monday at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

Forget blowing a million or more on a Super Bowl ad; the day after upcoming tentpoles John Carter , Battleship , and G.I. Joe targeted football-watchers with pricey TV spots, Sony went after niche fans with an international simulcast screening of new footage and a 3-D preview of the new Amazing Spider-Man trailer set to hit tonight at midnight PT. Though it included some unfinished visual effects, the sizzle reel featuring 30-40 percent new footage (according to a rep for the studio) hinted at the scope and darkly humorous tone of the Marc Webb-directed reboot. Webb, in attendance at the Los Angeles leg of the event, was joined via satellite by co-star Emma Stone and producers Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach in Rio, Rhys Ifans in London, and Andrew Garfield in New York as the group presented 3-D and 2-D footage and answered fan questions. (The event was also screened live for audiences in additional cities around the globe.) Among the highlights of the Q&A: Stone expounding on the many differences between her character Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker’s other more famous leading lady, Mary Jane. Besides coming from an affluent background and having a solid relationship with her father, police captain George Stacy (whose traditional attitude toward law enforcement clashes with Parker’s in the footage), “Gwen falls in love with Peter Parker, but Mary Jane falls in love with Spider-Man.” With reverence for the Spider-Man legacy he’s now a part of, Garfield elicited cheers from the crowd by pondered the future possibilities of the role in pop culture. Tobey Maguire had played him first and now Garfield was inheriting Spidey’s web slingers but, he said, “next time I hope it will be a half-Hispanic, half-African American actor.” Screened in 3-D for those in attendance at the simultaneous screenings around the globe, the Amazing Spider-Man trailer came packed with action snippets, gadget porn (ex. Peter inventing homemade web slinger technology), flashbacks to Peter’s traumatic black and white childhood, and looks at Ifans’ Dr. Curt Conners/The Lizard, smoothly and slickly pulled off as an engaging bit of 3-D. Massive set pieces and close-combat fight scenes use CG well enough that Garfield’s superhuman movements look believable within the space. But if any one thing distinguishes this Spider-Man from the Raimi series, it’s Garfield’s superpowered Peter Parker. Sardonic and wry, he bristles with a cocksure energy that Maguire never had and maybe couldn’t have achieved, either. This Spider-Man marks his streets with spider graffiti, toys with his criminal prey, revels in the coolness of his own superpowers. He’s defiant in the face of authority, maybe a little too gleeful in assuming the role of jokester vigilante; of course that brings him in direct conflict with his girlfriend’s dad (Denis Leary as George Stacy), but that seems to shade in his own parental issues as much as it’s convenient storytelling. The focus this time around — in the story that Sony would like us to believe we’ve never seen or heard before, though Spider-Man ‘s decades-long pop cultural saturation inspires some skepticism — isn’t on losing Uncle Ben and wrestling with that guilt forever and ever (and upside down kisses and stuff), though additional footage showing Martin Sheen as Ben riffing tenderly with Peter does make you think about how that other shoe will drop. Instead, Webb said, he wanted to tap into “the emotional consequences of what it means to be an orphan,” and so the teenage Peter reaches out to Dr. Conners, who he discovers used to work closely with his long-lost dad. “What makes him a more emotional presence in Peter’s life is that he had a very close relationship to Peter’s father,” explained Ifans. The two of them share a genius knack for science but ultimately, obviously, come to blows. Much of today’s sizzle reel footage (which was shot in 3-D but shown today in 2-D) was previously shown at Comic-Con — Peter being bullied by Flash Thompson at school, Uncle Ben embarrassing him in front of Gwen, Peter as Spidey having fun with a car thief. In terms of character, Conners and his alter ego The Lizard are featured quite prominently in this new footage, which showed some well-textured CG work of the character in full creature mode (The Lizard punching his way into a car, a close-up on his face) as well as snippets of Lizard vs. Spidey fighting all over the city, culminating with Spidey toppling a tower atop a skyscraper. After the footage screening Movieline spoke briefly with Webb, who seemed pleased with the reception. That said, he’s got a long way to go to a final cut, he admitted. But despite the fact that a handful of shots in the footage were clearly unfinished, fans still seemed impressed — especially by the finished 3-D portion, which was important to nail particularly since it was filmed in 3-D and had better look good given the initial disappointment over the video game-esque portion of Spider-Man ‘s first teaser . As for the event itself, fans who waited for hours for a chance to see the Spider-Man footage (At noon! On a weekday!) but were shut-out of the simulcast satellite event were rewarded as Sony replayed the footage again and again for those who’d missed it. Stay tuned for the new trailer, which hits tonight at midnight. The Amazing Spider-Man hits theaters July 3, 2012.
Gisele Bundchen prayed for husband Ton Brady to win the Super Bowl last night. Alas, when those prayers were not answered – the Patriots fell to the Giants 21-17 – the super model turned to curse-filled trash talking. It’s okay, dear. I’ll catch all of your balls tonight. On her way out of Lucas Oil Stadium last night, New York fans taunted Gisele, with one yelling: “Eli owns your husband!” At this, Bundchen turned around and replied: “My husband cannot f-cking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.” Gisele, of course, is referring to a number of near-catches by Patriot wide receivers, most notably a missed snag by Wes Welker at the New York 20-yard line with four minutes remaining and New England driving for a clinching score. Should Welker have had it? Probably. Did Brady throw a couple balls behind his teammates in the second half, along with a key interception? Yes. Watch the Gisele/fan interaction now at The Insider.
Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans and director Marc Webb also pop in during 3-D premiere of new trailer. By Kevin P. Sullivan Andrew Garfield in “The Amazing Spider-Man” Photo: Marvel / Columbia Pictures NEW YORK — Spider-Man fans came out in droves around the globe and in the web-slinger’s hometown to get “a sneak peek into the untold story” from the upcoming film. That’s all they knew when they lined up hours early outside Manhattan’s Regal Union Square. As similar events were taking place in major cities worldwide, no one in the audience knew about the surprises four of the events, in particular, held in store. MTV News’ Josh Horowitz moderated the New York event and welcomed fans as they took their seats. The theater grew quiet, and a live feed from L.A. replaced the Spider-Man insignia on the screen. The L.A. host welcomed the director of “The Amazing Spider-Man,” Marc Webb, to join him on-camera. Webb threw it to Rio de Janeiro, where Emma Stone was introduced. A trip across the pond revealed the film’s villain, Rhys Ifans , but it wasn’t until the special guest in New York that the crowd lost their minds. Andrew Garfield , the man behind the mask, stepped out from a side door, inciting an out-of-control roar from the theater. A man shouted “Hallelujah” from the crowd, and Garfield couldn’t help but agree: “Hallelujah. You said exactly what was on my mind,” he said. “It means the world to all of us that you care so much. Thank you for being here.” Back in L.A., Webb instructed the audiences around the world to put on their 3-D glasses for the new trailer for “Amazing Spider-Man,” hours before the world premiere. Each of the four special guests then answered a question about the upcoming film. Webb addressed the new story and villain. Stone described how Gwen Stacy is the polar opposite to Mary Jane Watson. Ifans explained how Dr. Connors’ flaws make him more significant and how the connection to Peter’s father makes the film more emotional. Garfield answered a simple question — “Why did you want to be Spider-Man?” — in a simple and honest way: “Because I’m not an idiot,” he said. “It’s the thing everyone wants.” He explained that the role doesn’t belong to him, the character belongs to everyone. Garfield even expressed hopes that the next actor to play Peter Parker would be “half Hispanic/half African-American,” like the current iteration of Spider-Man in the Ultimate run, Miles Morales. The event concluded with an extended sizzle reel, lasting about seven minutes in all, of new 2-D footage, much of which was unfinished. Scenes included an awkward and cute scene between Peter and Gwen and a short sequence showing Peter developing his powers.
