There's no denying their on-screen
chemistry in The Amazing Spider-Man – just check out that kiss. But Andrew
Garfield and Emma Stone weren't just faking it for the cameras.
"We got on really well as people in
between [takes]," Garfield, 28, tells MTV News. "That was the fun stuff. In
between, we'd just mess around, and I felt, 'Ah, this is different.'
"
So what attracted him to Stone, 23, whom
he began dating last year?
"She keeps you on your toes," he says,
"and that wakes you up."
But the couple first proved their
compatibility before Stone even landed a role in the film. "We read a couple of
scenes together," Stone recalls of their initial screen test, which she calls a
sure-fire way to tell if two actors will work well when the cameras are
rolling.
"You can sense if you guys have a kind of
chemistry or rapport right away," she says. "No matter what the relationship is,
whether it's a love interest or not."
And it looks like Spider-Man filmmakers
saw the sparks fly between Stone and Garfield.
"Obviously, I was so happy that she got
the role and decided to do it," Garfield adds. "Those are the days I'd look
forward to."
What would you do if you found yourself
face-to-face with Spider-Man?
If you're Emma Stone, apparently you've
just got to put your hands on him.
I sat down with Stone and her costar (and
real-life beau) Andrew Garfield to talk about their upcoming movie, "The Amazing
Spider-Man," and I asked them both their reactions to seeing Garfield in the
full Spidey costume for the first time. Stone admitted that when she saw him in
the suit, she got a bit handsy.
"It was so tactile," Stone said, "I
immediately was just touching him. Because you never expect to be in the room
with Spider-Man, and the suit was just so well made and so
beautiful."
Garfield answered that his reaction to
seeing himself in the costume inspired a mix of feelings: "It was overwhelming,
of course, and surreal, and you kind of can't believe it. And that kind of
remained throughout, actually. I didn't quite believe it, that it was me in the
suit." He went on to say that the feeling of disbelief helped ground him. He
said, "I think if I started to believe it then I'd lose my mind a
little."
Garfield explained that the process of
designing the suit and tailoring it to fit him perfectly was an arduous
four-month long task. He said, "I had to fly certain places to get certain body
scans, and my body was changing because I was training."
Columbia Pictures recently released two promo stills for
its latest project “The Amazing Spider-Man” featuring stars Andrew Garfield and
Emma Stone.
The super-hero flick will arrive in theaters on July 3rd
and also stars Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin
Sheen and Sally Field.
In other news, the newest trailer was released last week
and gave more footage from the Marc Webb directed film about Peter Parker
(Garfield) and Gwen Stacy (Stone), as well as a better look into the Lizard
character (Ifans).
This adaptation of the Spider-Man tale follows the comic
book plot line and according to this recent sneak peek, it will contain
big-scale action and destruction.
