Andrew Garfield: Martin Scorsese's 'Silence' Star!

Andrew Garfield films scenes for his upcoming flick The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with his co-star Dane DeHaan on Monday (May 6) in Brooklyn, New York.

The 29-year-old actor was just announced as the star for famed director Martin Scorsese‘s upcoming movie Silence, according to Variety.

Andrew will play the leading role of Father Rodrigues in the adaptation of Japanese novelist Shusaku Endo‘s book, which is set to begin production next June.

The movie is about a 17th-century Portuguese Jesuit (Garfield) who travels to Japan with a fellow priest amid rumors that Rodrigues’ mentor has abandoned the Church.
