Movie

We believe we have found the perfect choice to take on this role and lead us into the future.

We were fortunate enough to meet with a group of fantastically talented young men.

The role demands an extraordinary actor.

You need someone who can magically transform himself from Peter Parker into Spider-Man.

We have found that actor in Andrew Garfield.

Garfield will begin preparing for the role immediately.

Garfield looks a bit dazed.

Apparently he was only told moments before walking out that he got the part.
