"Rhys Ifans has said that he was fascinated by his Amazing Spider-Man character The Lizard. Ifans revealed in a recent interview that it took a great deal of work for animators to blend his image with CGI for the geneticist-turned-villain Dr Curt Connors in The Amazing Spider-Man.   &amp;quot;There were moments where I&amp;#039;m turning from a human into a reptile, and then turning back from a reptile into a human. Those for me were the most interesting parts to play. I was like, &amp;#039;OK, how much Lizard am I? How much human am I&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; he quipped, reports Flicks and Bits. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re really kind of brutalising, emotional, transitional points. And I guess again, [his] drug addict thing, the anticipation and the rush of the becoming.&amp;quot;  He continued: &amp;quot;Then there&amp;#039;s the awful comedown of becoming human again, with all its frailties and insecurities and doubts and weaknesses - as The Lizard would see them. &amp;quot;The CGI, obviously, I left to a lot of clever people with computers, but then the transitional stuff I was in the hands of these incredible make-up artists for up to, at its worse, seven hours with four people working on me.  &amp;quot;Which I was very nervous about, because I&amp;#039;m not very good at sitting still for any length of time. But these people are so amazing at what they do, I was kind of transfixed by just watching four great artists create their work on my face. It was kinda cool.&amp;quot; Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield recently admitted that he was intimidated to star in the film because of the masked hero&amp;#039;s iconic reputation. The Amazing Spider-Man opens in cinemas on July 3. &amp;gt; Andrew Garfield wants to star in Amazing Spider-Man sequel &amp;gt; Andrew Garfield: &amp;#039;I insisted on skateboards for Amazing Spider-Man&amp;#039; Watch a trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
