The Amazing Spiderman

0 Comments

Garfield plays Peter Parker, an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Peter is trying to figure out who he is while also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy(Emma Stone).

Stan Lee says that the reason why Spidey is so popular is because all of us can relate to him, and I agree. I needed Spidey in my life when I was a kid, and he gave me hope. In every comic I read, he was living out my and every skinny boy’s fantasy of being stronger, of being free of the body I was born into, and that swinging sensation of flight.

2012-08-coverStone and Garfield appear on the cover of the August 2012 issue of Teen Vogue magazine. They talk about working on The Amazing Spider-Man together. Stone says:

Really, the way he is as an actor is just completely different from anyone I’ve ever worked with. I never went to school for this, so getting to be a sponge off certain people is very vital to me.

eddie gothamRedmayne appears on the cover of the December issue of Gotham magazine. Redmayne discusses portraying Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything with fellow actor Andrew Garfield, who interviews him for the magazine.

Stephen has so much humor. It’s very difficult for him to communicate—now he can only do so using an eye muscle—yet he has the most fiendish timing. I belly-laughed a lot in his presence. That’s something we really tried to bring into the film, to always find the positive. Hearing the audience laugh at that premiere, and to have them feel like they were allowed to laugh, despite the subject matter—a family dealing with gritty obstacles—made me so happy. Because that’s the feeling I had when I left my meeting with Stephen. He’s had a guillotine over his head since the age of 21, yet he lives each moment hopefully, and lives life with humor. When I saw the audience responding to those parts of the film, I was thrilled.
