Hiya, folks...
A friend alerted me to this set of terrific interviews of the principal cast of THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN, the recent spectacular reboot of the Spiderman franchise that was powered by new lead Andrew Garfield's emotional intensity and charisma. My soul sistah Emma Stone was also key in making the movie as awesome as it is, as were Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, and Denis Leary.
Please find below the interviews, where Andrew eloquently speaks of the power of art to save and inspire; Emma talks about the elusive and mysterious thing known as "chemistry"; Rhys discusses playing villains with depth and soul; Martin muses about the power of being different; and Denis talks about the importance of firemen.
And kudos to interviewer Jake Hamilton, whose thoughtful and intelligent questions are a welcome change from the usual tedious crap like, "Andrew, tell us how you get your hair to look tussled but sexy at the same time?" or "Emma, omigod, is Andrew a great kisser?" Thanks, Jake, for being a classy and gracious host.
