The New Spider-Man Trailer Totally Rips Off Mirror’s Edge!

Gizmodo AU


I’m a total sucker for superhero movies (OK, Green Lantern sucked), so I’ve been looking forward to the trailer for the new Spidey reboot. But damn, this first trailer is a totally rip off of EA’s Mirror’s Edge game. See for yourself:

It’s not the parkour side of things — it’s the reflection, the first person perspective. I actually yelled when I watched this earlier. Has anyone else noticed this??! Yep, Kotaku is all over it. Good to know. [Kotaku]

    What the hell? The real question is why are they making a new 1st spiderman movie!? The previous incarnation isn’t even 10 years old!
