I’ve got to hand it to Andrew Garfield. I wasn’t sure about him at first, you know? Sure, he’s a great actor. But he’s so skinny! So young-looking! He is hardly ideal for action-heroics.
And yet! It turns out he makes a heck of a Peter Parker in this, The Amazing Spider-Man trailer, and my word, he cuts a striking figure in that skin-tight red suit. (What’s that? Baby-faced Andrew Garfield is actually 28 years old, you say? Oh, thank God.)
Embedded above is the movie’s first 3D trailer. Of course it isn’t actually in 3D, not for plebes like us, but Screen Rant promises that the movie, shot in “true 3D,” will deliver.
How darling is Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, you guys? And I hardly recognized Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors. It stings that the role is no longer filled by Dylan Baker, but Ifans strikes the right chord between “empathetic” and “potentially insidious,” right? Phew.
This video was taped at yesterday’s Amazing Spider-Man Comic-Con panel:
In the video, an excited fan rushes to the microphone, starts gushing about how he’s always wanted to “be at Comic-Con, in Hall H, as Spider-Man.” Then, as he thanks the encouraging crowd, he removes his cowl to reveal that he is none other than superhero Andrew Garfield. (The fanny pack added a lot to his Comic-Con disguise, I think.)
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. And upon receiving his power, unlike most who have become corrupted, he used it for good. And I think that we all wish we had the courage to stick up for ourselves more, to stick up for a loved one more, or even a stranger you see being mistreated, and Peter Parker has inspired me to feel stronger. He made me, Andrew, braver.
OK, there are two lies in that headline. 1) Garfboy doesn’t do all of his own stunts, just like, a lot of them, and 2) We’re actually married, I’ve just failed to inform him. Hope this shows up in his publicist’s GoogleAlerts. Just kidding, hope it doesn’t. Don’t need to die of embarrassment today, thanks.
ANYWAY! I’ve put together yet another gallery of behind-the-scenesSpiderman shoot pictures for y’all to check out because who can resist a midday A. Garfield break and it’s pretty exciting that a new Spiderman movie is coming out. Yeah, it’s no Batman, but the first three Spiderman movies were really good and I’ll watch just about anything that involves that adorable and charming Emma Stone.
If you need anything, I’ll be over here being your creepy neighborhood gossip blogger with ill-advised crushes. Thanks!
Truth be told, I barely give a fuck about Spiderman movies, but I am pretty into that cute Andrew Garfield (SocNet rocked my world, y’all,) so I keep posting behind-the-scenes photos from the set in Downtown LA. Popsugar had the newest pics, and I gotta say: I am not a fan of this suit at all. First of all, why is the crotch like, triple enforced and a different color than the rest of the costume? Spiderman is trying to save humans, not be like, “Hey, check out my dick, everyone.”
Two, that mask totally covers Andy Garf’s face and that’s just not fair.
Spidey diehards, you got any REAL problems with the suit?
New photos of Andrew Garfield filming the new Spiderman movie have been leaked, and these ones are less reminiscent of a Superhero movie than an average night out in West Hollywood. Yes, I’m taking it there, but I don’t know what else to make of a man in spandex squeezing another man with his thighs.
Yet another image of Andrew Garfield in his Spiderman suit has been released, but this one is way less official and therefore far more dishy. A fan captured this shot of Spidey running through busy “New York traffic” yesterday (it’s really just over by MOCA in Downtown, LA.)
I was over there the other day to check out the museum and my friend and I saw all these NYPD cars. I assumed they were filming some bullshit cop show that no one really cares about. Now that I know they’ve been using that area as a location, I want to drown myself for not seizing the opportunity to rape Andrew Garfield. This is obviously why those NYPD cars were there! Ugh! Kill me!
Also spotted Downtown was The Daily Bugle van. Looks like filming’s in full swing.
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
