To be fair, though, there was some leaked footage from last year showing Peter knelling over the body of his Uncle Ben screaming to someone to "call an ambulance!" and it appears Uncle Ben still dies from a mugger's gunshot wound rather than an industrial accident. However, there was indeed a scene shown at one of the comic book conventions previewing portions of the film that showed Uncle Ben picking up Peter after he gets suspended for getting into a fight with Flash Thompson via using his spider-powers, and Uncle Ben telling Peter is he's been forced to take a different shift at work because of this. Thus, this, rather than Spidey's traditional comic book origins, is what presumably results in Uncle Ben's eventual death at the hands of a mugger, which also seems to suggest that not only is Peter already a costume vigilante crimefighter BEFORE his Uncle Ben gets killed but that Peter doesn't even encounter his Uncle Ben's killer prior to that same said killer killing his Uncle Ben--both of which, of course, potentially make Spider-Man a completely different character since his motive and reason for being a superhero are entirely different.
