THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN - Andrew Garfield & Emma Stone

THE SOCIAL NETWORK really put Andrew Garfield on the map. He'd been doing TV roles and a few bit parts since 2005, but his 2010 starring role in that facebook movie got him some serious fame. Then there was NEVER LET ME GO in which he was phenomenal. Now he's the new Peter Parker, and I'm pretty sure he's going to replace Tobey Maguire for everyone!

This is going to be the first Spider-Man not to feature Mary Jane, but I'm pretty sure the guys are going to be happy with Emma Stone who will be playing Gwen Stacy the new love interest for Peter Parker. 

The trailer looks alright, but the CGI looks a bit computer game unrealistic to me, but this might change as it develops through post-production. 

Here's a little taste of the reinvented Spidey franchise. 

THE HELP - Emma Stone, Viola Davis & Octavia Spencer

 

I read this book in under a week, which is not bad seeing as I only read at bed time! THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett has been converted into a screenplay by Tate Taylor (also the director) and has some inspired casting!

If you're looking for a great read I highly recommend it, especially if you like to read the book before seeing the film! THE HELP opens in Australia on September 1st.
