Sony Will Sneak Peek Parts of ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ in Select Cities on February 6
Projections have been seen around the city of London this evening pointing audiences to TheUntoldStoryBegins.co.uk, and a similar website, TheUntoldStoryBegins.com, should be launching soon in the US. The UK site gives a chance to sign up for “a sneak peek into the untold story,” which will take place on Monday February 6.
The exact details of the sneak peek are unknown at this point — we don’t know what will be shown, though I might be on the same seven minutes or so that were shown in Japan not long ago, which will likely set up some of the early story with Peter Parker’s lost parents. The footage could also be more or less the same reel that was shown at Comic Con last summer.
Sadly, it seems like the selection of cities in which the sneak peek will take place is pretty limited. Right now the US website mentions Berlin, London (which seems to be sold out), LA, Madrid, Mexico City, Moscow, NYC, Paris, Rio, Rome, Seoul, Sydney, and Tokyo.
It’s great that this is an international promo, but there will be many people outside those few cities that want to see whatever Sony is cooking up. ComingSoon reports that advertising is going up in Rio, New York and LA in addition to the London projections, and I’d expect that more will be seen in the other cities, too.
Watch Out! Five New Things We Learned About “The Amazing Spider-Man”
Everyone’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is going back to his roots—and we don’t just mean high school.
With Spidey senses tingling in anticipation of the webslinger’s big-screen reboot, stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone sat down for a press conference in Tokyo, Japan, on Wednesday and offered up some tantalizing clues as to what Peter Parker, his arachnid alter ego and moviegoers can look forward to in The Amazing Spider-Man.
Here’s what they, along with the film’s producer Avi Arad, had to say:
1. Just call him Little Orphan Spidey: While the Sam Raimi-directed trilogy starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst as love interest Mary Jane Watson gave moviegoers a worthy origin story in 2002′s Spider-Man, Arad said there are plenty more tales from Stan Lee’s Marvel canon left untold, first and foremost a chronicle about where Peter came from.
“After three movies, we finally got the opportunity to tell what really started Peter Parker on his journey. The fact that he lost his parents. He doesn’t know what happened to them. No one talks about them,” the producer told reporters. “So we found a very, very good story about the true origin of what makes a human being, what sets their destiny.”
Happy New Year everyone! It is at last 2012, meaning that The Amazing Spider-Man will finally be hitting our screens this year! Hopefully this means that Andrew will start doing some promo for the film soon, as well as taking to the Broadway stage for his debut in Death of a Salesman. I have just added a batch of new stills from The Amazing Spider-Man, as well as replacing some of the smaller/tagged pictures. I have also added scans from the latest edition of Total Film – Enjoy!
The official website for Death of a Salesman has been launched, and you can now buy tickets to see Andrew on Broadway!
Arthur Miller’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece Death of a Salesman, in a new production directed by eight-time Tony Award® winner Mike Nichols and starring Academy Award® winner Philip Seymour Hoffman as Willy Loman, Obie Award winner Linda Emond as Linda Loman and Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, The Amazing Spider-Man), making his Broadway debut as Biff Loman.
I have just added screen captures from two of the DVD extras that Andrew appeared in as part of the UK edition of The Social Network, including the behind-the-scenes documentary How Did They Ever Make a Movie of Facebook? Enjoy!
Hello everyone! I’m sorry that updates have been very scarce around here lately – we do not post candids/paparazzi pictures here, and it seems that Andrew is taking a well-deserved break following the filming of The Amazing Spider-Man and the upcoming Death of a Salesman! I have added a few new little bits to the gallery – some missing stills from Never Let Me Go, and a scan from the December issue of SFX Magazine. Hopefully some more news with surface soon!
Andrew to Join Broadway Revival of ‘Death of a Salesman’
Next spring, there will be two Spider-Mans on Broadway. When Mike Nichols directs Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play revival of Death of a Salesman, The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield will be making his Broadway debut. Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman will play the traveling salesman Willy Loman; Linda Emond will play his wife, Linda; and Garfield will play Loman’s underachieving son, Biff. Scott Rudin will produce the revival, which will open next March at the Barrymore Theatre. The other stage Spidey, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, you know all about.
The original play opened in 1949 with Lee J. Cobb in the role of Loman, and subsequent revivals featured Dustin Hoffman and Brian Dennehy. Hoffman had been expected to take the Loman role, but the surprise is Garfield. He worked with Rudin in the David Fincher-directed The Social Network, before emerging in a wide search with the role of young Peter Parker in the 3D reboot The Amazing Spider-Man, which is being directed by Marc Webb. Garfield started his career in the theater in the UK. His stage credits there include The Laramie Project and Romeo & Juliet.
