But isn't this reboot supposed to take place with Spider-Man in high school? Was it so hard to find a right teenager for this role? Garfield is mid-twenties at least. I was rooting for Aaron Johnson personally. I don't care that he was Kick-Ass, and few people saw that film anyway (sniff, sniff). I think he would have been awesome in this role. Now I've never seen Andrew Garfield in any film before. I'm just heavily tied to "Never Let Me Go" b/c I read it a few months ago and loved, loved, loved it. I'm hoping the film's a great one. Not sure I'd even watch this reboot, but I'm becoming more and more interested in Andrew Garfield the more I read about him.Sebastiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-64600606187169779752010-07-06T20:50:35.151-04:002010-07-06T20:50:35.151-04:00Which actors are considered

I remember reading an article on 'Red Dragon' at the time it was released (in Empire or Total Film, back when I used to read those esteemed publications), and Brett Ratner explained that they'd cast Ralph Feinnes as the killer because a 'name' actor that people recognised would have been too distracting and less frightening. Apparently, starring in not one but two best picture oscar winners in the previous decade didn't qualify him as a name. <br /><br />Apparently, Brett Ratner's entire career is explicable by the fact that he throws great parties. I would not be surprised.Laikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06440073181249211138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-45189617131854080452010-07-06T20:19:36.232-04:002010-07-06T20:19:36.232-04:00I don't recall you having seen Boy A.

Fans figure, if they're scrapping a good series they must be bringing in some hot new big thing. But I'm least interested, though I WAS a little hopeful they'd bring in Aaron Johnson.
