What hints did Amazing Spider-Man 2 give us about the rest of Sony's planned Spider-Man franchise?
This article contains spoilers for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
The end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 may have lacked the next-movie teaser Marvel Studios likes to pin onto their films, but that doesn't mean we haven't got any clue as to where the Spider-Man franchise is going. With Sony's stated goal of turning the property into its own universe of films, we got to thinking: what clues are there in Amazing Spider-Man 2 that might get followed up as the franchise expands?
Just so you don't get spoiled, we're going to put a big picture up here. After that, it's spoiler territory...
Still here? Right then...

Veteran actor Stacy Keach has been on stage and in front of the camera for well over fifty years. He’s performed in the highbrow ranks of Broadway, Shakespeare, and critically acclaimed films. He’s also participated in the lowbrow humor of Cheech and Chong and grindhouse quickies churned out by Italian exploitation auteurs. He’s worked for some of the great directors including John Huston, Walter Hill, John Carpenter, and Robert Altman, as well as playwright Arthur Miller. When he’s not performing, his charity work as chairman of the Cleft Palate Foundation keeps him busy. Stacy Keach was invited to St. Louis last weekend to receive an honorary Lifetime Achievement Award from Cinema St. Louis. Three of his films were screened including the classics Fat City and The Long Riders as well as his newest project Imbued, a film in which he...

1. To inspire or influence thoroughly
From the moment Stacy Keach walks through the door, Imbued had me strangely curious. Donatello (Keach) is a sports bookie of questionable legitimacy, as is illustrated by his arrival in the high rise space, cluttered with large abstract paintings, ladders and an unmade mattress. Donatello is a complicated man, wrought with acrophobia, but he’s good at what he does.
A knock at Donatello’s door reveals Lydia (Liza Sklar), an attractive young call girl who believes she is meeting a man named Brent, but finds Donatello instead. Lydia is invited inside, which begins a slowly unraveling and often awkward intimacy between the two, whom have their own deeply withheld feelings they will ultimately pull from each other.
Imbued was written and directed by Rob Nilsson, a veteran of indie filmmaking with an impressive resume of award-winning films. This film...

Director Rob Nilsson made Stroke, an intriguing, character-driven story in 2000. Stroke is a curious blending and blurring of the documentary and the fictional narrative, featuring Ron Perlam among the various actors that appear in this collaborative experiment. For those familiar with the work of independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch (Night On Earth, Coffee And Cigarettes), this film should be a welcome experience.
Rob Nilsson has been making truly independent films since Northern Lights, his first film from 1978, which won the Camera d’Or at Cannes. Nilsson’s 1987 film Heat And Sunlight also earned him the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. I encourage you to take this rare opportunity to attend the screening of Stroke with director Rob Nilsson, and be sure to see his new film Imbued, which is also playing the Saint Louis International Film Festival.
