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!
Thanks to the lovely Luciana, I have just added scans from October’s edition of Total Film, which looks at Andrew’s upcoming film The Amazing Spider-Man.

Andrew is on the upcoming cover of Entertainment Weekly in his Spider-Man finest! It looks to be a real insight to the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man, according to EW’s site:
Spidey’s back! Well, almost. The Amazing Spider-Man doesn’t hit theaters for another year, but in anticipation of next week’s Comic-Con (July 21-24 in San Diego) we’ve got first looks at and inside scoops about the webslinger’s highly anticipated return — including interviews with stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone and with director Marc Webb. EW can also exclusively confirm that Rhys Ifans will be playing Doc Conners, who, in an experiment gone wrong, transforms into one of Spider-Man’s most formidable foes ever, the Lizard.
Four years after Spider-Man 3, starring Tobey Maguire, The Amazing Spider-Man promises to be a “more contemporary,” “more gritty,” and “more character-driven” look at the comic book hero. He’s a hero the 27-year-old Garfield knows well. Growing up, “I related to Peter Parker [Spidey’s alter ego] so much because I felt like someone else inside,” he says. “I loved the comic books and the animated TV series and I even dressed up as Spider-Man as a kid.”
Adds Webb: “Ultimately what this movie is about is a kid who grows up looking for his father and finds himself. And that’s a Spider-Man story we haven’t seen before.”
The most remarkable moments in film this past year weren’t 3-D action sequences but characters so real they hurt. Here, the actors who made us believe.

“I found The Goonies very inspiring. I identified with every character: Mikey, the leader; Mouth, the trickster; Data, the inventor; and Chunk, this lovely, beautiful, sad, misunderstood, slightly larger kid. The Goonies is boys needing to be boys on their path to manhood. It’s a classic.”—Andrew
Andrew Garfield appears on the February cover of DETAILS magazine in a photo shoot with Norman Jean Roy that took place at the Alexandria Hotel, and its surrounding streets, in downtown Los Angeles. The 27-year-old Brit was the breakout star on 2010’s defining movie, The Social Network. Now he’s preparing to play Spider-Man – and hurtling toward Hollywood’s A-list. And yet Garfield is reluctant to move on from a life of a struggling actor saying “I hope I never blow up. I hope that I have to audition for every single job I want. I hope that I’m always struggling, really. You develop when you’re struggling. When you’re struggling, you get stronger.” This attitude was refreshing for longtime DETAILS writer Jeff Gordinier who said “You often hear about young stars: ‘So-and-So is incredibly grounded,’ but in Andrew Garfield’s case, I think that might be true.”
Highlights from the article: On the scene in The Social Network where he loses it: “That day and night of shooting was one of my favorite experiences. I was actually proud of myself because I didn’t care what I was doing. I was literally not judging myself. And it was so f***ing beautiful for a second….I felt more like a man than I’ve ever felt.”
On his role in Spider-Man: “I see it as a massive challenge in many ways. To make it authentic. To make the character live and breathe in a new way. The audience already has a relationship with many different incarnations of the character. I do, as well. I’m probably going to be the guy in the movie theater shouting abuse at myself. But I have to let that go. No turning back. And I wouldn’t want to.”
On training for Spider-Man: “I want to feel stronger that I’ve ever felt, and I want to feel more flexible than I’ve ever felt. I want to feel powerful. You don’t want to just be a pack of meat—it has to be an open body. It does something to your psyche, and it does something to the way you move.”
On landing the role and becoming famous: “I realized immediately how much hard work it was going to be, and how much of a minefield it was going to be in terms of all the shit that comes with it. Stuff that I would like to not have any part of. I mean visibility and being recognized walking down the street. I’m holding out a naïve and ignorant hope that won’t happen.”
On red carpet events: “Those events that look like so much fun in the photos you see – it’s mostly people looking over their shoulders at everyone. They’re miserable, those parties.”

Although I don’t usually like to post candids/on-set pictures, I just couldn’t resist posting the first glimpse of Andrew as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy from the upcoming Spider-Man reboot! I have also added a new portrait shot (from the previous posted LA Times interview), and also scans from January’s edition of Harper’s Bazaar and Enterainment Weekly – thanks to Daisy and Colleen for those!
