Check out what Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone had to say about the film below.

How long did you know you had this role before it was announced to the public?

Andrew Garfield: I think it was about 30 minutes (laughs). They organized a pretty terrifying ruse. I was in Cancun at the Sony press junket for ‘The Social Network,’ I was waiting to hear about whether or not I would be able to fulfill a childhood dream, which wasn’t annoying at all – to be waiting for that knowledge. I was surrounded by people who probably knew, and I was reading every single eyebrow twitch or lip curl that might have given away whether or not I had gotten the role, and everyone was being incredibly poker-faced. At the end of a press day of talking about ‘The Social Network,’ Amy Pascal’s assistant came and got me from the room I was in. He was stone-faced and said, “Amy wants to have a quick word with you up in her suite.” I was like, ‘Oh…okay, fine, she’s going to let me down easy. That’s really sweet of her. She’s going to tell me personally that I didn’t get the role. That’s incredibly lovely.”
