- THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN TO FALL INLOVE??!
Emma Stone |
The press bandwagon for The Amazing Spider-Man seems to be
getting well underway, with Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and producer Avi Arad
attending a Tokyo press conference, and answering a whole range of questions
about the film.
For starters, this new take on the friendly neighbourhood
web-slinger will be a more romantic affair than Sam Raimi’s creation, at least
according to Avi Arad.
“In our movie, [Peter] finds his true love. Gwen Stacy was
always the true love of Peter Parker… We found a very, very good story about
what makes a human being. About what sets their destiny.”
“We introduce our villain, Dr. Connors,” continued Arad,
“and in the great tradition of Marvel, Dr. Connors is going to be connected to
Peter Parker and, in our case even more interesting, to Gwen Stacy. Right
there, the challenge of having to deal with a villain who is a mentor and the
only one who you can look at and say, ‘So what really happened to my dad?’
That’s a very hard person to fight.”
Speaking of fighting, Andrew Garfield went on to explain
that grounding the action sequences in reality was of paramount importance to
director Marc Webb.
“That was something that Marc, the director, really wanted
to make sure happened in this movie to set it apart from previous ones,” says
Garfield. “I would exhaust myself every day and get into near-death experiences
every hour on the hour…”
“I collaborated with [the stunt team] not only on the big
stunt set-pieces but also on what happens to Peter’s body when he gets bitten.
What happens to his DNA and how that effects the way he moves and the way he
interacts with objects The idea that he has spider DNA running in his system.
What that will do to his sense of space. What that will do to the sensitivity
of his skin? To have an opportunity to play in that forum with creative and talented
people was a real opportunity and gift.”
Finally, Emma Stone hinted at a romantic interlude between
her and Garfield that will rival the upside down kiss between Tobey Maguire and
Kirsten Dunst.
But, can you really try and beat that moment? We don’t think
so, but here is what Emma had to say about it.

“You don’t want to know [what’s coming],” she teased. “You
want to watch the movie and find out. Plus, it would be weird if we were like,
‘There’s something iconic coming up!’ You’ve got to decide if it’s iconic or
not. But there is a nice first kiss and it’s different than the upside down
one. And we liked it.”
Hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be a Twilight version of
Spider-Man, because then we will really be pissed!!!
The Amazing Spider-Man opens in the July 2012.
