New images released for The Amazing Spider-Man

Just as you'll finally be recovering from your respective food comas, Sony has given you the chance to re-gorge yourselves on a new batch of images from The Amazing Spider-Man. And they're a mite juicer than your average turkey sandwich...The new pictures give us a closer look at Spidey's new schoolyard setting, with Andrew Garfield getting involved in a spot of basketball whilst Emma Stone parks herself at a desk.Elsewhere, there's a look at Dennis Leary as Stone's father, police chief George Stacey, as well as a close-up shot of Garfield's mechanised web-dispensers. Quite nifty bits of kit, from the looks of them...The latter image marks a departure from Sam Raimi's adaptation, which portrayed Spidey's web-slinging abilities as an organic development. Marc Webb has instead reverted to the mechanical system depicted by the original comics, which should score him some points with the more fastidious of Marvel fanboys. The Amazing Spider-Man will be released in the UK on 4 July 2012. Just before another suited hero swoops into our screens, then. Shops can expect a big run on spandex come summertime...

Filmmakers awarded $12 million in 'Crash' suit

Robert Moresco, left, Paul Haggis and Brendan Fraser, as well as Mark Harris, will receive $12 million in damages. After a four-year battle over profits from 2004 drama "Crash," a judge has awarded filmmakers Paul Haggis, Brendan Fraser, Mark Harris and Robert Moresco $12 million in damages from various companies run by producer Bob Yari.Tuesday's award follows a July ruling by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel J. Buckley that Yari's Hollywood accounting practices kept millions of dollars away from the foursome's three-tiered contingent compensation deal. "First, according to the defendants' version of things, defendants could give away or re-route all interest in the picture to a third party, technically receive 'nothing' from exploitation of the picture and then claim, as defendants have here, that the plaintiffs are not entitled to any profit participations," the judge wrote in his decision. "Such an interpretation is obviously absurd."Filmmakers originally sought about $4.7 million when they filed suit in 2007, but that amount ballooned as the litigation progressed."It was a difficult case because Bob Yari in particular entered into a bunch of deals and refused to tell us about them even though he had a contractual obligation to consult with us before entering into any of these deals," Richard L. Charnley, who represented the plaintiffs, told Variety.Yari did not immediately return a message seeking comment."Crash" spawned a flurry of litigation in conjunction with its 2005 Academy Award for best picture. Producer Cathy Schulman sued Yari, claiming she was fired in retaliation for the Producers Guild of America's refusal to award him a producer credit. Yari, in turn, sued the PGA, claiming the process of awarding producer credits was arbitrary, secretive and unfair. Contact Rachel Abrams at Rachel.Abrams@variety.com
