Chris Pine Interview For ‘People Like Us’
Jun 13th
Marking the directorial debut of screenwriter Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, Fringe, Transformers), ‘People Like Us’ is a drama/comedy about family, inspired by true events. The film is lead by Chris Pine as Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, whose latest deal collapses on the day he learns that his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home, where he must put his father’s estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. In the course of fulfilling his father’s last wishes, Sam uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down: He has a 30-year-old sister Frankie whom he never knew about (Elizabeth Banks). As their relationship develops, Sam is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about this family–and re-examine his own life choices in the process. ’People Like Us’ also stars Olivia Wilde, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mark Duplass and Jon Favreau. The film opens in US cinemas June 29th. Expect a UK release date for ‘People Like Us’ soon.
Family is a big thread in the narrative….?
Chris Pine: Yeah. The humanity of the film, which is kind of a vague and large term, but it’s about family. We all have family, whether they’re disbanded or unified. Whether they’re loving or not. Whether they’re emotionally abusive in a passive-aggressive way, or they’re loving. Whatever it happens to be, we all come from a shell, a little nest. This just happens to be one of the more dysfunctional nests of all time (laughs). I liked it, I liked the humour in it, I liked the anger in it, I liked the deep layers of emotion that had been packed down and packed down and packed down.

Director Marc Webb Interview For ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ – Talks Andrew Garfield, 3D, The Lizard….
Jun 12th
One of the world’s most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man.’ Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. ’The Amazing Spider-Man’ is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero. ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ will be swinging onto the big screen July 3rd in the US and July 4th in the UK.
Can you talk a little about this incarnation of the Peter Parker/Spider-Man story? In this, there’s a number of things from the Spider-Man universe that we haven’t seen outside of the comics.
Marc Webb: Yeah. I think there’s a lot of things in the comics that haven’t been explored cinematically before. First and foremost we have the story of Peter Parker’s parents. When I was thinking about the character, I was really curious about what happened to him when he was a young kid. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, but we had never met his parents. So I wanted to know the mystery and the story behind that. That’s the beginning of the untold story, it starts off with Peter Parker’s parents. And also, of course, there’s the Gwen Stacy saga, which if you’re familiar with the comics is a really fascinating, ultimately tragic, but interesting storyline that is at times controversial but always interesting. So I wanted to explore that. Then of course there’s the villain, Dr. Curt Connors, otherwise known as The Lizard. Which was one of my favourite villains from the comics and I thought it would be fun to give life to that.
