Andrew Garfield Is Not Worried About the Marketing
Andrew Garfield is not letting the recent confusion around The Uprising distract him from the film.
The period action drama recently appeared to have a new title, The Uprising: The Rise of Robin Hood. The team later clarified that the phrase works as a tagline rather than a new title.
Garfield said he did not pay much attention to the marketing situation.
The actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he focuses on films with stories and themes he believes in. He also acknowledged that filmmakers have little control over what attracts audiences.
