Andrew Garfield Talks ‘The Uprising,’ Spider-Man, Sam Altman & Paul Greengrass

Andrew Garfield plays an anonymous farmer drawn into rebellion as crushing taxes and inequality push England’s working class to revolt, critics say.

Summary
Andrew Garfield is glad he went from 21st-century Silicon Valley to 14th-century England and not the other way around. In an interesting bit of cinematic time-traveling, the British actor filmed his lead role in the biopic “Artificial” (in theaters Dec. 25) first, as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Then he veered very much the other way starring as a revolutionary farmer in the action-packed historical drama ”The Uprising” (out Sept. 10), inspired by the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt. The latter wound up being “a palate cleanser,” Garfield says in a Zoom interview with “Uprising” director Paul Greengrass. After playing such a controversial figure, “I had a lot of rage built up to express, so that was good.”
