“The Amazing Spider-Man” Face of the Fan Contest Begins Today
CULVER CITY, Calif., June 2, 2011 - In anticipation of the July 3, 2012 worldwide release of
The Amazing Spider-Man™ in 3D, the cast and filmmakers will discuss the movie for the first
time as they address the fans at Comic-Con® San Diego. One fan can be a part of the action by
proving he or she is the ultimate Spider-Man fan in The Amazing Spider-Man Face of the Fan®
contest. The contest winner will be the “face of the fan” at Comic-Con, and have the opportunity
to meet the talent and filmmakers and conduct an interview with them.
US residents 18 years of age and older can go to http://www.faceofthefan.com/TheAmazingSpider-Man/
to enter the contest, which begins today and runs through June 27, 2011. To enter the
contest, users submit a sixty-second video of themselves answering the question, “Why should
you be the Face of the Fan correspondent at Comic-Con?” Complete rules and instructions are
available at http://www.faceofthefan.com/TheAmazingSpider-Man/
All entries will be judged and one winner will be chosen to attend Comic-Con San Diego 2011.
The winner will meet the cast and filmmakers, and have a chance to ask them fan questions
gathered from the social communities on the web about The Amazing Spider-Man.
The prize includes one trip for two (2 days/2 nights) to attend Comic-Con San Diego 2011,
including hotel accommodations, roundtrip airfare, and transportation to and from the hotel, as
well as two passes to attend Comic-Con.
Commenting on the announcement, Marc Weinstock, president, Worldwide Marketing for Sony
Pictures, said, “We’re thrilled to be bringing Spider-Man back to Comic-Con – it’s an exciting
place to give the fans an inside look into what the new Spider-Man film is all about.”
Dwight Caines, president, Worldwide Digital Marketing for Sony Pictures, added, “The Face of
the Fan® program is all about connecting fans from all over the country to the films they care
about the most by using the web and social networking tools. We expect there will be exciting
Spider-Man news coming out of Comic-Con, and the contest winner will be the fan
correspondent giving moviegoers everywhere an inside look.”
Face Of The Fan® is a Sony Pictures Entertainment initiative that lets moviegoers and TV
viewers get involved with Sony Pictures' projects by participating in online casting calls and
contests—turning today's fans into tomorrow's stars™. The concept was launched in 2007, tied to Spider-Man 3, when two fans were chosen to bring Spider-Man news to the fans following the
film’s website. In November 2010, Face Of The Fan began offering casting calls for various
Sony Pictures Entertainment films, including such Screen Gems projects as Lakeshore
Entertainment’s Underworld and Rainforest Film’s upcoming Think Like A Man, which is based
on Steve Harvey’s national best-seller, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. The site also
features contests in which winners can have an opportunity to appear on the red carpet at movie
premieres, meet or interview talent, filmmakers, and producers, or even go on the sets of their
favorite shows. Many exciting opportunities are available through Face Of The Fan®, and this
program provides fans with a way to share their enthusiasm and get face to face with key
decision-makers and talent.
A Columbia Pictures presentation of a Marvel Studios production, The Amazing Spider-Man,
starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans, is directed by Marc Webb from a
screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves based on the Marvel Comic
Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. The film is produced by Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt
Tolmach.
