TASM 2: 'Alistair Smythe' Is The Focus Of Latest Daily Bugle Viral

"Within a week of the announcement that the NYPD and the District Attorney’s Office had opened an investigation into illegal activities and questionable medical practices at Manhattan’s Oscorp Industries, sources indicate several of their top scientists have been asked to leave.
Reports cite the recent forced resignation of Dr. Spencer Smythe, the Director of Robotics, amongst others. He was seen leaving Oscorp Tower yesterday with a box of his personal belongings.

When asked to comment on the current employment situation of Dr. Smythe, Oscorp spokesman Donald Menken had no comment. Later in the day, Oscorp sent out a press release congratulating Alistair Smythe on his promotion to the Director of Robotics formerly held by his father. How Mrs. Smythe expects this will impact holiday dinners remains unknown."


The Amazing Spider-Man 2 stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro, Sally Field as Aunt May, Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn, and Dane DeHann as Harry Osborn. The movie hits theaters May 2nd, 2014.

Has anyone seen the visual effects on the trailers and TV spots? Absolute SHIT!!

My prediction? This will be the beginning of the demise for Sony's Spider-Man franchise.

I take this to mean that "the gentleman" is therefore not Spencer Smythe. Probably Miles Warren?.

@PeepingTom well that's your opinion you're entitled to it, even if it's wrong.

Marketing for this movie rules.
