Currently in theaters (and still in the box office top five), THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is the crowd-pleasing reboot of 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.

A long-time fan of the Spider-Man character, GARFIELD throws himself, body and soul, into what he’s always considered a dream role. During one of our many interviews with the star, he talked about how he found out that he’d gotten the job. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
