I've listed this article for peer review because I along with other editor's have worked hard for the article and kept in the watch. I just want to hear some thoughts on how is it doing for now on getting ready for good article when it is released. Is there any problems that needs to be fixed or is there something missing for it to be qualified etc.
Thanks,

I know it's not finished or not ready for GA. I among other editors will keep watch that it will be a reliable article. I just wanted to know is it stable for the time being. Does it pass every guideline etc. It seemed like a good idea at the time but I feel like it can wait and be archived if there will be no other thoughts about it.

I think the article could use a general copyedit. You could try listed it at
WP:GOCE/REQ, but they're so backlogged it could take months before someone looks at it. The best idea would be to find someone who has experience getting articles on similar subjects promoted and ask them to take a look. Also,
User:Tony1 has some helpful writing exercises on his page.
The use of the word "currently" is frowned upon, best to say "As of May 2011" (or whenever).
Just to save time to look for it where are you talking about if I never find it before you answer it? I would like to note that currently does seem to be more common on film articles though. But to be on the safe side I would change it once I know where it's at.

I think the one I saw was in the Music section. It says he is "currently in talks" and was posted in September. I would assume the talks have concluded by now.

"Garfield was 27 after being cast as Spider-Man, which raised concerns about his ability to play a high school student." This isn't clear to me, did he turn 27 after getting the role, or do you mean he was 27 when he was cast?
Overall, the article is pretty heavy on the quotations, maybe try to trim them down a bit.
Also, I'm not sure of the guidelines, but I don't know if all the information in the Cast section is a good idea.
Check the names of websites for compliance with
MOS:ITALICs
Generally, you should use someone's first and last name at the first mention, then switch to just the last name. In "Pre-production" you have "Rhys Ifans" twice.
It might be worth double-checking that all the sources you use meet
WP:RS. I don't know much about sourcing in this area, but it might be a good idea to see if they're used on current Featured or Good articles. Or check the archives at
WP:RSN.
RE: your question on my talk page. This is more of a suggestion on my part than a rule or guideline, it may not make that much of a difference in a GA review. Although, GA reviewers do have varying standards. I'm looking at
Spider-Man (film) and it doesn't look like there are quotes in the cast section. I'd probably cut the last quotes for Garfield, Stone, and Ifans though. Maybe try to paraphrase some quotes in the last section of Filming and Video Game, as well?
