Meet The New Peter Parker: Spidey Casting Announced!
Sony Pictures confirmed late last week that actor Andrew Garfield has landed the coveted role of Spider-Man/Peter Parker in the studio’s upcoming franchise reboot. The news ends months of casting rumors, which involved nearly every young actor in Hollywood, from Jamie Bell (”Billy Elliot”) to, most recently, “Kids Are All Right” co-star Josh Hutcherson. Garfield has acted in only a handful of films, including last year’s “Red Riding” and “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.” He can next be seen in David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” about the founders of Facebook. Marc Webb (”(500) Days of Summer”) will direct the untitled project, which, according to Sony, will hit theaters July 3, 2012, in 3D. James Vanderbilt wrote the screenplay.
