The Greatest Stuntman in the World

Vic Armstrong, the 'World's Greatest Stuntman (TM)' was on BBC Breakfast last Friday talking about his forthcoming autobiography. If you click this link, you can watch it (the interview with Vic is about ten minutes in). Failing that, look, here he is:

The subtitle of the book is also basically it's synopsis: "My Life as Indiana Jones, James Bond, Superman and Other Movie Heroes".

Vic's an amazing guy, with some incredible stories to tell of his time working as a stuntman for some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. The best thing is, he's still doing it - he worked on the recent Thor movie and is currently working on the new Amazing Spider-Man reboot.

It's a book well worth checking out - and I'm not just saying that because we designed it:

AMAZING!

Well it's probably well known now that Amazing15 takes it's name from Amazing Fantasy#15, the 1962 comic which features the first appearance of Spider-Man.

Since the last Spider-Man film was a whole four years ago, clearly the entire franchise is well over-due a reboot and Marc '500 Days of Summer' Webb (HA! HE HAS 'WEB' IN HIS NAME!) is helming a new movie with Andrew Garfield playing the wall-crawler. Following 'Spider-Man', 'Spider-Man 2' and the breathtakingly titled 'Spider-Man 3', the title of the new film was announced yesterday:

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.

Amazing.

Hey! He has mechanical web-shooters!
