Spider-Man Swings Back Into Theaters

Andrew Garfield talks bringing the superhero to life

By Fred Hechinger | July 2 , 2012

On July 3, Spider-Man swings back into theaters in The Amazing Spider-Man!

In this new adventure, we learn how the secrets in Peter Parker's family might have led to his transformation into Spider-Man. And, of course, there's an epic battle with a big bad guy. This time, it's the snarling half-man-half reptile Lizard.

Andrew Garfield brings Peter Parker and Spider-Man to life in this new movie. He spoke with Kid Reporter Fred Hechinger at a press event in New York about the role and how The Amazing Spider-Man is different from other Spider-Man movies.

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (EBK)

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (EBK)

    by Jeff Kinney and Jeff Kinney

    It's not easy being the middle kid in the family—just ask Greg Heffley. His younger brother, Manny, can do no wrong. And his older brother, Rodrick? That kid's a drumstick-wielding menace who lives to make poor Greg tremble.

    And things are about to get even worse! Rodrick knows about Greg's most embarrassing moment—the terrible incident that happened last summer—and he's holding it over Greg's head! Life was bad before…what will Rodrick pull now?

    Told in a highly original and hilarious voice, this story perfectly captures the humor and torment of sibling showdowns.
