Scooper JMJ recently emailed me saying that he had seen a bunch of Spider-Man footage which he believes to be the first 30 or so minutes of Spider-Man 3.
Please note, there ARE spoilers here, so proceed at your own peril!

It’s anyone guess where the following footage takes place but by the coverage I watched, it definitely seemed like the first quarter of the upcoming Spiderman 3. I’m 90 % sure it’s the first hour of the movie where the following takes place. Take that how you want to. It could be moved or edited but this is what happens with the coverage I’ve seen long before any WonderCon coverage.
The screen comes from black to a scene with Aunt May. She’s talking to someone. we don’t know. (The audience doesn’t know and yet we do). All of a sudden Peter comes into the picture.
Their talking about marriage. Peter is talking about marriage and love.
Peter tells Aunt May that he’s thinking of proposing to Mary Jane, the love of this life.
Aunt May smiles that beautiful smile of hers and does something.
She gives Peter her ring.
Peter and Aunt May talk for a minute or so more...
Screen fades…..and all of a sudden...
Peter is riding on his scooter down the streets of New York.
He smiles with a ring his pocket. He knows what’s coming next….or does he?
….Camera pans up.
Harry Osborn (decked in total Goblin gear) springs his attack. He grabs Peter (in plain clothes) and throws him up in the air...and as Peter is tumbling the air watching his “ring” fall from his hands…he immediately goes for it but Harry attacks again! Peter tries to block but doesn’t have enough time and is thrown towards a building.
Peter automatically assumes his normal Spidey position on a building. Hands outstretched facing towards “Goblin” Osborne.
Harry shouts about Peter killed his father.
Peter tries to reason with him but the fight takes place none the less.
Peter doesn’t know what to do initially so he starts to evade through the alleys of New York. The camera follows the camera (making for some wonderful early CGI work) with Harry Osborn chasing Peter (no Spidey outfit) through the alleys….Peter using his webs and Harry on the Goblin slider.
This fight and chase scene takes place for at least 20 minutes (though with final studio edits, its probably going to be 12-15 minutes long) between Harry (in Goblin gear) and Peter (in plain clothes).
Finally, Peters had enough!
The fight is on!
He swings around a building and when Harry approaches and he knocks the crap out of him in a surprise attack.
Harry falls off his slider…hits the side of a building and lands in an awkward position on a dark alley floor.
Peter panics.
He realizes what he has done.
He comes down to the alley floor next to Harry’s seemingly lifeless body. He calls his name and ….
Footage fades.
KJ's Take: Good. It's about damn time Harry gets his ass kicked, he annoys the heck outa me. I would be just as happy if he wasn't even in the film, but regardless, sounds like it could be a cool elongated fight scene.
