- THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
Yahoo! Movies, has posted a new interview with The Amazing
Spider-Man director Marc Webb. You can check it out below:
On Andrew Garfield and
Emma Stone’s instant chemistry:
"We screen tested them together, and she's very funny
and really quick and snappy. I remember the first time we screen tested them --
I don't think they'd met before, really -- and it took a minute for him to get
back up to speed with her because she was so funny. And then they really
brought out really great parts of the other's performance. Of course, it was
there, and that's why we cast that dynamic. It was really great to watch it on
screen.”
The trickiest element
of Spider-Man's world from the comics to capture on screen:
“To create something that's funny and whimsical, but also
has real emotional stakes. That's the real tricky part is to make it all feel
grounded even though he is doing something, even though he's swinging through
the streets and he can do things that no other human can do. But still give him
a hard time when he's relating to his aunt or his girlfriend, and all those
dumb little things that we all have to deal with when you don't have that mask
on. I think reconciling those two universes was tricky, but I think that people
really react to it.”
The film takes Peter
Parker back to high school. Why the high school setting is important for the
Peter Parker character:
"There's an adolescent quality to a lot of the
"Spider-Man" [comics] that I liked, that is really important in terms
of the DNA of the character. He's like an imperfect guy. You know what I'm
mean? He is a kid, and he's always kind of making mistakes, and he is not so
sure about himself all the time. I felt like the authentic place to start that
was in high school. And I think there's something about the way you feel about
the world at that age that makes things much more raw, and I thought that was
really fun to explore more cinematically."
The Amazing Spider-Man opens in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters
on July 3.
