Garfield Studied Spiders For ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Role

Being cast as Spider-Man has to be a dream come true for any actor. As I’m sure it was for Andrew Garfield, best known to this point for playing Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network. But then the hard work begins, which for Spider-Man means being part-human, part-spider. Garfield recently told Hero Complex that he...

Stan Lee Praises Garfield As Spider-Man

Stan Lee isn’t a man who misses opportunities to voice an opinion, or get his mustachioed 70s porn star-like face on screen in a movie for that matter. So when he was asked his opinion on Andrew Garfield, the post-Tobey Maguire Spider-Man, you just knew he’d deliver. Lee believes Andrew Garfield will be “absolutely great”...

Vanderbilt Writing ‘Spider-Man 2′

OK, I know it should officially be referred to as The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but you all know what I mean. The point is that the sequel to the new Spider-Man movie, starring Andrew Garfield and directed by Marc Webb, is already being written. Am I right to be a little surprised? James Vanderbilt was...

Sheen Predicts Big Things For Garfield

So that no-one is confused by that headline I should point out straight away that we’re talking about Martin Sheen and Andrew Garfield here. Charlie Sheen predicting big things for Garfield the cartoon cat would be a different story altogether, although entirely unexpected given the younger Sheen’s current mental state. Andrew Garfield, in case you...

Garfield Talks Becoming Spider-Man

The next Spider-Man film, the first in what Marvel must be hoping is a new trilogy (at least) sees Andrew Garfield assume the role of Peter Parker and, consequently, Spider-Man as well. Not the easiest transformation for an actor to make, especially when it’s an entirely new role for the actor in question, and the...

Stone Nervous About ‘Spider-Man’

The lives of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are soon to change in a big way, and they’ll likely never be the same again. It’s one thing being a movie actor, another moving to Hollywood, and yet another starring in a guaranteed blockbuster such as a new Spider-Man movie. How the hell do you cope...

Stan Lee Wants Tobey Maguire To Carry On As Spider-Man

I don’t think Stan Lee quite understands the concept of a franchise reboot. Either that or he’s not kept in the loop over what is happening with Marvel’s big comic-book series. No, I don’t believe that for a second as the man is a well-known control freak. Stan Lee is the co-creator of Spider-Man, amongst...

‘Spider-Man’ Reboot Shortlist Revealed

I’m still not too happy at the direction that the Spider-Man series is heading in, with Peter Parker being turned back into a school kid; a school kid dealing with the usual things a teenager has to deal with rather than kicking the ass of villains. Great for the young teen crowd, but not really...

Dunst, Franco Talk ‘Spider-Man’ Reboot

Everyone will know by now that Spider-Man in his current incarnation is dead, with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire’s reign in charge of the franchise ended in order to reboot the series with a lower budget and an eye on the teen, Twilight-loving market. Many fans are upset at this turn of events, as although...

More Spider-Man Details/Rumors Emerge

Don’t tie yourself up in knots over who the next Spider-Man will be–you probably won’t know him.  Now that it’s been confirmed that the Spider-Man franchise has been put in the hands of director Marc Webb, The Hollywood Reporter’s Risky Business blog talks a little bit more today about what the next cycle of Spider-Man movies may...

Marc Webb, Next Spider-Man Director? Deal Almost Done (They Say)

It’s enough to make you feel like you’re covered in sticky black gunk.  Marc Webb is one of the names that’s been bandied about in relation to the recently vacated Spider-Man directing gig. This makes sense, because his “(500) Days of Summer” was an indie hit and cost very little to make. If that doesn’t...

“Spider-Man 4″ Update: Maguire, Malkovich Talk About Delays

Stars: They’re Just Like Us - Tobey Maguire wants a good script for ”Spider-Man 4,” too. There’s been plenty of talk over the last week about the delayed start for filming “Spider-Man 4″ and whether that jeopardizes it’s May 5, 2011 release date (most people seem to say yes).
