Two months ago, "Deadline" exclusively reported that Sony Pictures was preparing an extended theatrical cut of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day". The new version is expected to restore Rosario Dawson’s deleted cameo as Claire Temple, the character she played in "Daredevil."
AMC Theatres later appeared to reveal the extended cut’s release details ahead of schedule. A listing briefly posted on the chain’s website showed that the movie would return to North American theaters on December 4 with roughly seven additional minutes of footage. AMC has since removed the page.

Sony’s plans for "Brand New Day" do not end there. Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group chairman and CEO Tom Rothman, pictured above, told "Deadline" that the studio is preparing an awards-season campaign aimed at landing an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. Rothman argued that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences exists to recognize greatness and said he firmly believes the film meets that standard. If voters are not already considering it, he added, Sony will do everything it can to change that. Rothman also said studios behind high-quality commercial movies have a responsibility to make their case, noting that he regularly asks people whether they can name 10 films released this year that are better than "Brand New Day."
