Much of The Amazing Spider-Man 2‘s tumblr blog has been focused on reporting on OsCorp’s progress on technological advancements or criminal activity. Now a new post changes its direction a bit by posting an exclusive interview between The Daily Bugle and Spencer Smythe.
For those that don’t know, Spencer Smythe was a robotic and arachnid expert who asked J. Jonah Jameson to fund his projects, having become convinced by Jameson’s editorials that Spider-Man was a menace. After watching a demonstration showing that Smythe’s robot could sense and track spiders, Jameson hired Smythe to capture Spider-Man. His first failed attempted eventually led to an obsession of hunting the Webslinger. He also had a son, Alstiar Smythe, who was also a constant threat to Spider-Man.

If you were watching The Walking Dead‘s midseason finale, you might have seen what’s actually the start of a viral campaign for the upcoming vampire TV show, The Strain. The new FX show is based on Guillermo del Toro’s The Strain Trilogy books, which he cowrote with Chuck Hogan and later turned into a comic book adaptation. It’s his take on the vampire tale and it’s dark, gory and twisted. You won’t find a sparkly blood sucker in the bunch. Del Toro first envisioned The Strain story as a television series, but he couldn’t find a buyer at the time, so an agent convinced him to initially turn it into a book. The rest is history.
The “found footage” teaser for the show that aired on TV is now available online and it’s definitely meant to pique your interest, even though it doesn’t spell out exactly what it’s for. After the break, check out the viral clip and how it connects to the The Strain‘s story.
