The Death & Rebirth Of Spider-Man: A Series Of Events (Part 3)
Andrew Garfield is Peter Parker aka Spider-Man. Words we've now grown used to. Honestly, I keep forgetting that there even WAS an original Spider-Man trilogy by Sam Raimi starring Tobey Maguire. Right now, they've gotten so much right that the original trilogy got wrong (no matter how good they were, they weren't very faithful) and they way the reboot is being handled might make it the most faithful Marvel film to date! So with Andrew "Spider-Man" Garfield in the lead, how did we get from there to the first day of filming? Well, once Andrew was announced as Peter, the casting of an older Peter meant a change in setting, so Alvin Sargent promised the reboot would be in a college setting in contrast to high school because 27-year old Andrew might not be able to pull off a "ten years younger-look", not like it hasn't been done before (every teen horror film ever made). This news was never confirmed, but it seems most likely. So how much was Garfield getting paid? A good five hundred grand, a big money-saver compared to Tobey Maguire's original expected pay of $50 million.
