- THE AMAZING LIZARD
Cinema Blend got a chance to talk to Rhys Ifans at the
Toronto Film Festival and talk turned to the actor playing the Lizard in The
Amazing Spider-Man.

"The majority of the time I'm me, I'm a human, not a
Lizard. That's hard enough," Ifans said. "I did have the CGI suit for
certain scenes. The Lizard is 9 feet tall. There was one day that I went on set
and they had a double, a big big guy, playing me, as the Lizard. I looked at it
and I went "No." Following that Marc [Webb, the director] let me know
all the physicality, all the physicality you'll see in the Lizard is my
own."
He added what it was like to film some of the scenes.
"I had a green suit on, and then this cardboard head, and these big claws.
It was the most f*cking insane… Each and every time you see the Lizard, the
technology is so advanced now that when the Lizard's eyes move, they're my
eyes. If I frown or show any emotion, they're my emotions. That's how
spectacularly advanced technology is."
The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to hit 3D, 2D and IMAX
3D theaters on July 3, 2012.
