USA Today: “Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield break out of the pack”
A brand new interview (and accompanying photoshoot image!) has been released with Andrew Garfield and rumoured potential co-star Emma Stone, with USA Today.
Andrew Garfield is caught in stardom’s web
The work continues in another hotly anticipated title: The Social Network, the Oct. 1 release directed by David Fincher about the tangled web of ambition, greed and betrayal behind the creation of Facebook. Garfield is Eduardo Saverin, one of the Harvard students who was a co-founder of the popular website. “It’s just a bunch of kids battling, but there are no good guys or bad guys,” he says. “It’s all gray, just like life.”
This fan of the iPad has no Facebook page. He would rather stay in touch with people “via very direct routes.” However, he has Googled himself with mixed results. “There would be a lot of really nice people saying a lot of nice things. But then I get to the one person who would say, ‘His eyebrows look big. He ought to shave his eyebrows. He looks like a freaking Neanderthal.’ I thought, ‘That’s so mean. I can’t help my eyebrows, dude.’ ” Read more …
“Never Let Me Go” got one of it’s first (of many!) film festival screenings over the weekend at the second day of the Telluride Film Festival. While it wasn’t revealed that Andrew was going to make an appearance, we were lucky enough to be graced with an appearance at a question-and-answer panel following the “Never Let Me Go” screening.
A photo from the event has been added to the gallery; as an added bonus, the Hollywood Reporter also uploaded a brand new interview with Andrew which covers everything from “Spiderman”, “The Social Network” and balancing a hectic actor-individual relationship!
Though his “Red Riding” films screened at Telluride last year, Andrew Garfield, who co-stars in “Never Let Me Go,” is up at the festival for the first time this year. The new film, directed by Mark Romanek, screened Friday night. I got a few minutes to talk with Garfield Sunday about his experience at the fest, the psychology of Tommy, the fragile character he plays in “Never Let Me Go,” and his future as Spider-Man.
What’s your experience of Telluride so far?
I’ve really liked it. It doesn’t feel like a festival, it feels like a holiday. It was so nice to be able to see Danny’s movie last night and I went for a hike yesterday. There’s no pressure. It’s very easy to get caught up when your film is at a festival, and you get caught up in how people are responding to it. Here, I find it much easier, I still get a bit caught up, but it’s definitely easier here because the consciousness isn’t about what’s the film to see, what’s hot. It feels more like a genuine celebration of creativity. Read more?
Andrew Garfield tries to bring awareness to cancer research by shooting a new PSA for Stand Up 2 Cancer on Thursday (July 15) in Los Angeles.
The 26-year-old British actor was recently announced as the new Peter Parker in the reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. (He’s also featured in the new trailer for The Social Network, which opens Oct. 1.)
Andrew is also featured in the latest issue of EW, which has Ryan Reynolds in costume as Green Lantern on the cover.
He’s just been announced as the new “Spider-Man” and Andrew Garfield was spotted out on a gig in Los Angeles yesterday (July 15).
The handsome actor looked to be in good spirits as he chatted with crew members from the Public Service Announcement he was filming.
In related news, Andrew is teaming up with Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake for a new film called “The Social Network.”
Directed by David Fincher (Fight Club), “The Social Network” is about the rise of Facebook, with the tagline, “You don’t make 500 million friends without making a few enemies.”
Like many of you, I’m a bit surprised that Andrew Garfield is the new Spider-Man. After weeks of hearing names like Josh Hutcherson, Jamie Bell, Anton Yelchin and more tossed around with great frequency, Garfield’s status as director Marc Webb’s webslinger is definitely a surprise.
But it’s a great surprise. I can only speak for myself, of course, but based on what I know about the actor, I’m very excited to see him as the new Spider-Man. After the jump, I’ll tell you why.
Garfield is hilarious, as you’re no doubt aware if you’ve seen him in “The Imaginarum of Doctor Parnassus.” His scenes as a veritable circus leader stringing unamused crowds along are as awkward as they are hysterical, but it’s his scenes opposite Heath Ledger that really prove that Garfield has what it takes to play Parker.
Watch this scene from “Parnassus” for yourself. Put Garfield’s British accent out of your mind and forget the fact that they aren’t throwing punches at each other. Essentially, you’re watching Garfield square off against an arch-nemesis, spewing wisecracks and getting under his enemy’s skin with surgical precision — just like Spidey. There are many scenes like this with varying degrees of humor, and many of these scenes are out and out tragic.
Webb Convinced Fans Will ‘Love’ Garfield’s Spider-Man
Director MARC WEBB has assured fans ANDREW GARFIELD is the right guy to play SPIDER-MAN – insisting cinema-goers will “love” the British actor’s portrayal of PETER PARKER.
The Other Boleyn Girl star has been announced as the replacement for Tobey Maguire, who played the web-spinning superhero in three movies before quitting the franchise earlier this year (10).
Garfield, who was born in the U.S. and raised in Britain, saw off competition from Jamie Bell and Josh Hutcherson to land the coveted part.
And (500) Days of Summer filmmaker Webb, who will step behind the camera for the next installment, is adamant studio bosses haven’t made a mistake by casting the relative unknown.
He says, “Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor’s work understand his extraordinary talents.
“He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker.”
Sony Paying Andrew Garfield 500000 For Spider-Man Reboot!
Sure that ain’t chicken feed to the average Joe. But in the worlds of big budget Hollywood blockbusters, it’s really not a lot, especially when you consider how much Tobey Maguire made from his three portrayals of Parker. But then of course, we always knew Sony were going to bring this one in at a much lower budget. I suppose it’s not that surprising.
..I’m told Garfield’s pay scale on the film is around $500,000 salary on the first film, $1 million for the second one, and $2 million for the third film. All of the finalists were presented with those terms in a deal for one film and two options.]
But despite rumors(and hopes) that with the casting of the 26 year old Garfield, the movie would change its proposed high school setting for either college, or even have the story take place around the same time period that the third Raimi movie ended(sort of requel style a la The Incredible Hulk) it seems as if it’s still going to go the Spidey 90210 route.
ANDREW Garfield is delighted with his new role in the Spider-Man movie franchise — and is glad the producers didn’t pay attention to his early career!
The actor, 26, is to play the new spider-powered Peter Parker in a reboot of the franchise, notwithstanding the odd blip on his CV.
“They clearly hadn’t seen my performance as Romeo at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre,” says Andrew. “God, I thought I was dreadful in that — and I wasn’t the only one!
“I just couldn’t get the right take on Romeo, however much I tried and tried. I really want to do at least one more Romeo and Juliet to get it right.”
