In theaters next month and guaranteed to set off holiday weekend fireworks, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN reboots the familiar origin story of the web-spinning, wise-acre high school student turned reluctant superhero made famous on the pages of Marvel Comics. Directed, this time around, by MARC WEBB, the cast includes ANDREW GARFIELD, EMMA STONE, RHYS IFANS, SALLY FIELD, DENIS LEARY, MARTIN SHEEN, C. THOMAS HOWELL and EMBETH DAVIDTZ.

At the massive press event held in Manhattan over the weekend, SALLY FIELD answered entertainment reporters’ questions, talked about her relationship with comic-book culture and revealed the person in her family most excited by her involvement in the film. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
