Speaking to E! Online, Rhys explained, “They were just shooting her locked in this little closet and I had to go off and shoot something else that afternoon so they wanted a tape of my voice, you know, wandering around the lab. I did a dark, filthy version that would obviously never make it to the film.”?
While Emma refuses to divulge what the actor actually taped himself saying, she did admit that even members of the crew were left in a panic. She revealed, “I was in the closet and The Lizard is talking to me when I'm hiding. And the actual lines for The Lizard are, like, 'I can smell your perfume' and they were playing over the loud speaker for me. But I asked Rhys to record something that would just really, truly terrify me. Not as (my character) Gwen, but me as Emma.?
“He said some horrifying, horrifying things. It was awful. And he was so incredible to do it, but everyone on set was like, ‘I'm going to have nightmares.’ It was like being in a horror movie... He terrified the crap out of me... which was so amazing of him to do."
The Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans, opens in cinemas on July 3. We can’t wait – even the trailer is thrilling!
