When Spiders Chat

“… At least they didn’t make me wear slippers.”

In a recent article in ‘VMan’ former film Spider-Man Tobey Maguire interviewed the new film Spider-Man Andrew Garfield.  Some highlights:

Maguire: “I do know about it! actually, when it was coming together, I was particularly excited at two moments: one was when Marc Webb got involved. I think he’s an interesting and cool choice. and then I was certainly curious as to who was going to play Peter Parker. When I heard it was you, I was literally like, F-cking perfect!”

Garfield: ” I just feel such a great responsibility to the story and to the fans, because I know in my heart how much this character means to people, because it means that much to me. For the sake of all the people who care about it as much as I do—I want to bring the character to life and make sure they’re as satisfied as they can possibly be…”

“… Peter Parker is such a positive character—he’s pure wish fulfillment, an underdog. I grew so much from him when I was a kid, from the comics all the way up to the first movie you were in. I was 19 when I saw Spider-Man. I got a pirated dvd at portobello Market with my friend terry Mcguiness, and we went back to my skanky apartment in North London and we watched it twice in a row and then practiced your final line in the mirror!”
