Members KMan101 Posted October 2, 2010 Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 Love Emma Stone! So happy she's being offered the role. Perfect choice! Not sure why they felt the need to "reboot" the franchise, however, Spider-Man 3 was dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted October 2, 2010 Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 Loved her in Zombie Land so I approve. Also glad to hear Gwen Stacy's not going to get the shaft as Peter's main love interest again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted October 3, 2010 Members Share Posted October 3, 2010 Ryan Gosling would have been a better choice for Parker/Spidey but I doubt he would have taken the role even if asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted October 5, 2010 Members Share Posted October 5, 2010 He's a little too pretty, and I have no idea if he can act outside of Hairspray, but Zac Efron has the perfect look for Spiderman and the body. I would say Jake Gyllenhall but he is a little old. I think the movies made and will make a mistake with running immediately to Mary Jane and minimizing the Gwen Stacy character. The 1st Spiderman movie basically took Gwen Stacy's story with the Green Goblin and gave it to Mary Jane, but Gwen is where the potentially powerful story is that would have made Spiderman 2 a total WTF for anyone not familiar with these characters.

Members JackPeyton Posted October 5, 2010 Members Share Posted October 5, 2010 It will be interesting to see how it is done. Perhaps Mary Jane will just be around in the first movie, and peter/stacey will be coupled up with MJ taking center stage in the later movies.

Administrator Toups Posted October 5, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted October 5, 2010 Wow a shocker! Emma will play Gwen Stacy instead of MJ. I hope she can pull off being a blonde - apparently she is a natural blonde. So it looks like MJ won't be in the movie, or she'll just have a small part. http://www.deadline.com/2010/10/emma-stone-in-spidey-but-with-switch/ SPIDER-MAN GETS HIS GIRL:EMMA STONE TO PLAY FEMALE LEAD Stone to Play Gwen Stacy Opposite Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker CULVER CITY, Calif., October 5, 2010 – Emma Stone has been cast as the female lead in the upcoming Spider-Man film from Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios, it was announced today by Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures. Stone has been tapped for the role of Gwen Stacy opposite Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. The film, to be directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt and produced by Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin, will begin production in December and will be released in theaters nationwide in 3D on July 3, 2012. The casting continues an association between Sony Pictures Entertainment and the actress, who previously starred in Superbad, The House Bunny, and Zombieland, all for Columbia Pictures; she may currently be seen in Screen Gems’ hit comedy Easy A, and takes a cameo role in Screen Gems’ upcoming Friends with Benefits. Commenting on the announcement, Tolmach said, “It’s been an incredible journey for us to watch Emma’s star rise as an actress. She is extraordinarily talented and has a very special on-screen spark that is perfect for this role. Given her history with the studio, casting her in one of our most important franchises is a real thrill.” Webb added, “The chemistry between Andrew and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice. At the heart of the story of Peter Parker is not only the amazing Spider-Man, but also an ordinary teenager who is wondering what he has to do to get the girl. Andrew and Emma will bring everything audiences expect to these roles, but also make them their own. Much to my surprise, it was fun to find out that our choice for Gwen (Emma) is also a natural blonde.” Emma Stone can currently be seen starring in Screen Gems’ hit comedy Easy A. Next year, she will star in Warner Bros.’ Crazy, Stupid, Love opposite Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling and in The Help, the adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s bestselling novel; she also takes a cameo role in Screen Gems’ Friends with Benefits and will voice a role in DreamWorks Animation’s comedy The Croods. Stone’s recent credits include Paperman, Zombieland, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, The House Bunny, The Rocker, and Superbad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Money Posted October 11, 2010 Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 If you'd seen Gosling in Half Nelson (for which he was Oscar nominated) you would know he can act. He can do pretty but he can also do serious as well. He's quite a versatile actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lovely_m Posted October 12, 2010 Members Share Posted October 12, 2010 They cast an actor to play the villian, but which one is uncertain. http://www.deadline.com/2010/10/breaking-rhys-ifans-to-be-spidey-villain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted October 13, 2010 Members Share Posted October 13, 2010 i have heard rumors/gossip/rumblings about this, but this is the only article i can find where its printed... take it for what you will... I love how loyal she is to Sony and them to her, kind of like old studio days, but with no contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
