Making Spidey Flicks Was Like Canning Coke!

In another recent interview with The Playlist, Andrew Garfield talked about what went wrong with his set of Spider-Man movies. According to the actor, it was the Sony’s intentions to ‘to get it right, to please everyone’ that generated immense pressure and ultimately proved to be a setback for the movies. He thinks that such a policy of trying impress different demographics – from ’50-year old white men’ to ‘gay teenagers’ to ‘bigot homophobes in Middle America’ to ’11 year-old girls’ – would either end up ‘pleasing no one, or everyone just a little bit’. Garfield added:

“That’s canning Coke. So that aspect of it was a bummer.”

The actor further added that he understands the studio’s intent to earn big money from the movies since they spend a handsome amount for them. But he claims that he ‘can’t live that way’ and it seems ‘like a prison’ to him.
