Gwen Stacy & Spider-Man dangling from a Manhattan Line! Bugle Pics... kinda...

Looks fun.

These are obviously fakes. Anybody can do that in Photoshop. A couple frame grabs from the Seventies Show and kapow.

And will Superman Returns be the best Superman movie yet? I think YES to both. Care to disagree? Then come do so... http://tinyurl.com/gm8yd

I hope thats the harness making those rolls.

Will that be touched up in post?

...looks like the skinny aunt from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. That's not an insult - the aunt looks pretty good for her age but I would have thought she's a bit old for Spiderman. Who am I to judge though?

thats all

And not Talladega Nights. Although he was being interviewed by someone who sounds a little nuts over on Superherohype when these pic.'s broke yesterday. Still, and this is for you Quint, he also says that the eventual Venom costume will have a white spider.

Good to know.

Next to X-Men 2 or X2 or whatever you want to call it. Now, I am not saying this to stir up anger...I'm saying this because I have hopes for Spider-man 3 to be even better!

... they pick HER for Gwen Stacy? I'm mean, she's by no means ugly, but ...

Oh yeah - fat.

I would tap that ass.

That's not saying much but still...

She's actually a really talented actress with a cunning choice of films - The Village, Manderlay and this - which, I'd say, marks her out as a genuine smartie. What's fat got to do with anything? Not that she is, either. Body fascist alert, etc;

But I have had a thing for him since I watched him with that greased pig...

Still not sold on emo-Parker.

Grow up!

too soon

1) i still think it's funny that they found a blonde actress to play a redhead, and now found a redhead to play a blonde, 2) my god, that's a sizable ass.

It's all fake. Nobody takes photographs anymore. Hell the world is fake. Why each and everyone of us right now is photoshopped. sounds like a bad twlight zone episode

Gwen Stacy! Hottie. Too bad they didn't get a hotter MJ to begin with.

dipshits.

dipshits.

w/ most of the crew & equipment trucks blocking the plaza". So I just hung upside down from one of the cranes and and was lucky enough to get these sharp, up-close perfectly posed pictures. Please. Gimme a break. I'm surprised these don't have "

quess I'm the dipshit

But I kind of assumed the extra perrimiter was due to say... having to wear a harness?

As a regular person, she looks fine. As the young, hot girlfriend in a potentially billion dollar grossing superhero movie, she's fat. Sorry. (Luckily I'm perfect and look like Brad Pitt, so it's ok for me to say these things.)

Anyway, now I know why that abomination named Dunst does not show its hideous "face" on the set. Fear of comparison! She'll have to wait for Venom - at least she has a slim chance to be deemed "the more attractive one" when standing next to him.

Seriously, look at the picture when she's not flying in the air compared to when she is. It's obviously the harness making her shirt bunch up. Of course, nobody pays attention to that.

"That bitch has mad acne on her back. Look at those gigantic bumps! Man, she's going to make a HORRIBLE Gwen Stacy"

She only looks fat when she was on the harness and doing wirework but she looks good in the other pics when she is standing around. I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers.

Remember that these are the same chumps who took a look at IMDB photos of Ellen Page who played Kitty Pride in X3 and chimed in with "fat" and "looks like she's retarded." I guess the psychological concept of "projection" escapes these mental midgets. Bryce is beautiful, intelligent, and talented - three more things that escaped these talkbackers.

...except for Superman I/II. Kirsten Dunst: completely wrong for Mary Jane. Halle Berry: completely wrong for Rogue. Jessica Alba: compl... well, you get the idea. **** And now we've got Bryce Dallas Howard as GWEN STACY? Look, I'm not saying she's ugly... She's not. But she's a flat-chested redhead. Gwen was a full-figured, platinum blonde GODDESS. An unknown should have been cast. I'll still be there opening day, but I wish someone in Hollywood had the balls to pick someone more appropriate for the female leads. Giggity-giggity-GOOOO!

PICS ARE FOR 18+..COME ONE COME ALL TO SEE GWEN STACY HAVING SEX WITH A NEGRO IN MANDERLAY... http://www.robbscelebs.co.uk/noops620/noops_bryce_dallas_howard.html

What it's not about me? Oh, that ordinary looking girl hanging out with Spidey? Back off blondie, I was here first! FIRST I tell you!

These SPIDERMAN movies do that sucking thing soo much... Imagine if we had actual, good SPIDERMAN movies... What a world it would be!

...really just call this beautiful young woman fat and/or too old? I suppose I don't have to tell you the hardest thing about having sex with underage girls (because you know full well it's washing the blood off your clown shoes). Really, guys...try meeting a real-life actual woman and gaining some perspective on how they're supposed to be shaped.

...i'm surprised she can get out of bed and isn't just lying there waiting for Jerry Springer to come and cut the wall off her house and forklift her out. "I don't wanna die Jerry". Arseholes.

We'd hear about gorgeous females being cast as our favorite comic characters, only to hear nerds gripe about them choosing someone that looks like the character but can't act. Now we get someone that can act, but the fact that she's not as perfect as a fuckin' drawing that was created decades ago, now it's vice versa.

so are they really putting the Spidey 3 teaser in front of Superman now? I need confirmation cause my geek o'meter just went off the charts at that possibility.

Damn. My Spider-Sense ain't the only thing tinglin'. That juicy rump is much finer than the scrawny, bony shit in Hollywood. I think guys that like 'em that waify secretly want young men - and yet, because of their shame at peeking at their buddies in the gym shower, feel the need to bash ladies with curves.

I always wondered when I was a kid why Lois Lane wasn't pretty in those movies!

wait, you do not have girlfriends!

PLANT!

No word on who yet.

I have no idea who Ellen Page/Kitty pride is, haven't seen X3 (or X2 for that matter), and as far as I can remember have never commented on the casting of said actress. I also happen to be 5'9 and weigh 140 lbs., so your "projection" theory doesn't hold water (unlike that lardass Bryce Dallas Howard. Kidding.) Either way, I would like to restate my comments and say she "looks" fat "in those pictures." Sorry Ron.

what happened to your DVD reviews??

Please, please, please don't digitally reduce that fine ass. Thank you.

i mean fat.

Nice nod to the comics, I think.

because she LOOKS fat in that getup. it's just totally unflattering on her. generally, i find this woman to be very attractive, not to mention talented.

and most of the pics I've seen of her online she's pretty skinny and yummy, so it's probably all the harness and padding that making her heavy looking.

I never hear anyone mention how God damned depressing SM2 was. I mean, it had its moments. But, I specifically remember looking at my watch wondering when the film was going to allow itself to have just an ounce of fun. An hour and a half of exposition about how miserable Peter's life is, peppered with a few good action interludes doesn't' make for a great (or remotely fun) super hero movie. I mean, gosh, we get it. We didn't need the Maitre'd taking away the appetizers, Bruce Campbell smirking / denying entry, pizza delivery failure, late homework, disappointed girlfriend, sad/bankrupt Aunt May, best friend hatred, self loathing, loss of powers, Jameson abuse and who knows what I forgot just to try and ram the point home over and over. WE GET IT! Peter is a miserable SOB. Actually, the point was clearly explored in the first film. I was hoping the second film would showcase a little more of Peter confidently going about the business of being Spiderman and learning what he was capable of, while still struggling with his dual life. Instead we had to wonder why the guy doesn't just prep the noose and get it over with. Here's hoping there's just a small measure more joy in the third film. But, given the very sad looking spy photo of Tobey, it ain't happening. When I think of the run time of all this type of stuff from the second movie, it really makes me regret the great waste. I mean, we only get a few new hours of cinematic Spiderman every few years. Each minute needs to be essential! Stop frittering away the franchise with redundant wrist-slashing emo!

Looks like a stunt-woman to me, with a harness. And Bryce is both very talented and attractive... and casting her was a smart move. Move on, people.

that if you describe an attractive woman as "yummy," "scruptious," "delicious," etc, then you are obviously a fat guy. Harry, Quint and Moriarty do this constantly, and there you go.

. . . & think she looks pretty hot, but you know damn well that if she appears that size on screen it'll be one of the biggest punchlines of '07.

"I never had a use for a man who could only spell a word one way."

you can see Howard's face in every shot. Are you blind? That's obviously her.

iF: There are four villains this time, Venom, Sandman, and Green Goblin and when is the fourth going to be revealed? ARAD: Right we have four villains. Pretty soon [we

...then you can call me a chubby chaser. Bryce is one fine piece of ass. (With or without the harness.)

Bet.

Lizard is a good guess for the fourth, but we've seen nothing to alude to that. Also, didn't Bruce Campbell say a while back that he was to play a character named Quentin Beck? Wasn't Beck also known and Mysterio? I think that either way, it's gonna be a set up villain in the first opening credits or something... still cool to hear.

Jesus Christ, the Sith are in this one? Maybe Spidey's alien suit was originally from Tatooine...

Good likeness.

...She's got a wire harness stuck down her back. Y'know who is fat? The overwhelming majority of you fucking self-loathing fanboys. I think this film is going to kick motherfucking ass. But I am seriously beginning to hope that Sam is shooting SM4 back-to-back with this. There are way too many villains. I think maybe this ends on a cliffhanger and SM4 is announced at the end as the 'big surprise'. Whatever. I trust Sam, Alvin, and Tobey with by movie-going dollar any day.

ALL Spider-Man stories are fanciful. He's a superhero.

And Hilary Duff as Gwen Stacey!

The Shadow. Alec Baldwin rules us all.

Do you have a problem with characterization in movies? Next thing you know these talkbackers are complaining about Bambi being emo. What crap.

I don't think she's actually that porky.

Let's face it: Marvel movies stink. They may make obscene amounts of money, but they're all poorly conceived, terribly directed, miscast, horribly acted and written by talentless hacks who have no knowledge of, or respect for, the source material. X-Men: The Last Stand was the last straw. Fuck Marvel and their B movies.

Just too easy to pass up --- http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/1862/fuckuspiderman0op.jpg

What does Sam Raimi have against shooting films back to back? He should be shooting 3 and 4 right now. These folks arent getting any younger...

i just wanted to say that.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-05-31-alba_x.htm

LOL! That's the FIRST thing I thought of when I saw that photo, nicely done :)

Boru, I agree that most Marvel movies suck major ass, but Spidey 2 was written by Michael Chabon, a ridiculously talented author who won a Pulitzer Prize for a book about a superhero. Hardly a talentless hack. I agree with everything else you said though.

Aunt May as Carnage! Seriously, I can't believe anyone would believe anything the IMDb posts regarding upcoming films.

...but Alvin Sargent, who won an Oscar for 'Ordinary People.' Then again, 'The Punisher' was "doctored" by Michael Tolkin, so...

In my litany of cliched insults to Peter (see above) I forgot demanding landlord, romantic rival better looking / more successful and implied abuse happening to Mary Jane in her home life. Not sure how to classify skinny chick in Peter's roach motel. She seemed interested in him, but the feeling apparently was not mutual. Bottom line, a never ending parade of bad things happening to Peter over and over and over have been shown to us fully. WE GET THE MESSAGE! Let's dispense with this kind of repeated hammering home of the point in the third film and progress the story! We need to see Spiderman operating at full strength for once, not mired in self doubt and trodden beneath the woes of everyday life for three quarters of the film. It's a movie! Isn't it supposed to be fun? (at least on some level?) I'm speechless in regards to the talkbacker who asked to see Spiderman get beaten up a bit more. Duh. All he does is get the shit kicked out of him, both as SM and as Peter.

cracka ass cracka

Bambi lover :-P I don't mind the emo stuff, and I *love* the crazy comic fighting stuff. Gwen does look pretty ordinary but I think it is the outfit and harness to be fair. Although Snaggle tooth Krusty and Fat Ass Gwen might be enough to make Emo Spidey go all Broke Back. Discuss. ;-)

...The Chameleon! HAS to be. ....Or the Lizard...or Mysterio...or Brett Ratner....oh who cares...

...jeez I wouldn't be wasting my time posting on here that's for damn sure, I'd be strapping her into an entirely different kind of harness...oh yes.

But I never expected Lois to be "pretty". I thought Margot Kidder was *attractive* because of her moxie. (Yes, I said "moxie".) Good casting doesn't mean having a supermodel take the role. In my mind, Lois Lane in Superman I/II was perfect casting.

is probably the best choice for the fourth villan. We've already seen Conners in the first two movies, no doubt he might make an appearance in the third one. I would like to see Lizzie, but I could see massive fanboy bitching at what that would look like. I also can't wait at how crazed fanboys will be when they inevitably fuck up the Silver Surfer in FF2. hahahaha!!! Man, Spidey 3 is going to rock that movie.

That is clearly the actress and not a stunt double. You think they'd go through the trouble and money of finding a stunt double that looks EXACTLY like the actress, in this age of CGI? You're a fool.

if you take all the conflict, self loathing, characterization, etc. from the Spiderman movies, all you will have are the superhero movies that are just plain dull....daredevil, elecktra, catwoman, batman forever, punisher, fantastic four, and lets not forget x3. There is a thin line now for superhero movies and after years upon years of waiting for the perfect one...such as Spiderman 2, X2, and Batman Begins; ones that believed in their world and infused conflict for the hero, we have people that want to move away from that? Come on...there will be action in ALL comic book movies. Its the ones that use it for the sake of the story instead of finding a place to make a good duke out with a villan that should be continued.

so it'd be hard to compare her to normal sized people based on this pick. I've seen her other places and she's pretty then. And how come they didn't have her in green? Whan I think Gwen Stacey, I think, blonde, go go boots, green jacket. Maybe it's me.

Your point is well taken, but Spiderman 2 was *way* out of whack in the balance you suggest as being optimal. It was so cartoonishly bad for Peter that I expected the camera to pull back so we could see a CG rain cloud that existed only over our hero's head. Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised to see exactly that. I think Batman Begins struck the balance just right. Not as smotheringly maudlin as Spiderman 2, but never as airheaded as Fantastic Four.

I thought Brock was a muscle guy.

Not the FX, just that we've already had two mad scientist villains. A third is beyond pushing it.

that the shot they got of Topher Grace was him making a ridiculously funny face. In other news, looks like Bryce is advertising the new push-up bra.

Now that I've got your attention... Someone said in a 'Supes' talkback that we're not criticizing the 'Supes' movie (yet?) for altering a comic storyline, but when 'X-Men' alters 'Phoenix' then we bitch and moan like dorks. Well, what makes 'Supes' so special? Why is it OK for it to take liberties but 'X-Men' is so much more religiouslly criticized? Why can't we just judge these films on the merit of a different genre, being more open minded to new things? Certainly, in this new generation of comix & technological/creative visions there's room for differences between page and screen! Understanding that, like in political elections, it's a matter of not simply pleasing the idealists, but what works for the general populice. Well, anyone with an imagination doesn't need any film version of any written work. Film affects us differently than words. So, forgiving those who err from our idealism and realizing that we can simply ignore a film, although criticizing it in a human way when we feel the urge, why nit-pick over subtlities in minor discrepencies? Especially before we even have the perspective of actually seeing the film we criticize? This is an instant gratification, action movie. But since it's also a comix movie, there's metaphor that attempts to show us ourselves in a grandeur, more 'amazing,' imagined glow. But that is what the comix are for. A film, in today's market, is more interested in taking advantage of our seemingly growing lack of attention spans by flashing us with images and sounds that thrill us in the short term, but we then seem to forget like a new rollercoaster at an amusement park. All in the name of keeping the money-machine rolling. It's not fucking meant to be a deep, moving, emotional arrestment of the human condition. Not like those amazing foreign (or domestic, depending on your nationality) films that move me to tears and made by those who value the language and potential of the film medium as an artform above commercial capitalism. Unfortunately, too many people want this kind of distraction in their view of today's world. But, since I understand 'with great power (choice) comes great responsibility (for my spiritual, personal, cultural and world understanding),' I'm going to continue looking for art that challenges, motivates and influences my own expression. So far, I haven't criticized Raimi's vision of this franchise as much as say, 'X-Men,' which with it's 3rd installment, stole from the potential, not of the comix, but of what the first 2 films was building towards. Which was closure to a trilogy, like the holy original Skywalker saga, dreampt and worked on by single, guiding hand and mind. 'X-3' wasted the potential of the first 2 X-films, and I'm not really interested in what it changed from the comix because it could never be the same as the film in my head when I read them. Fortunately, Raimi is still pointing the lens in the direction of this superhero, a first in any major comix franchise to date, (correct me if I'm wrong) so hopefully the conclusion to this storyline won't dissapoint like (in my humble opinion) the last two didn't. But, then again, I see this for what it is (in my subjective understanding) and not what I would force upon it as if I was in the position to make 100+ million $ backed decisions. Seriouslly, we've got the comix, why steal from them at all? I say if there's going to be comix movies, create new and original stories like a new comic series would! Don't steal from what you can't improve. There's enough energy and emotion behind these comix that you can create and please minds without insulting those that hold what's written sacred. You wouldn't film a Bible story and change the characters and 'plot' in it would you? Why treat a comic book any differently? These texts are as holy to some. Just something to think about. Let's hope that 'Transformers' (for example) is truely 'more than meets the eye' and that the fundimental differences aparent so far only evolve what was, honestly, a weak and sloppy storyline. Wait, wasn't this rant about 'Spiderman?' Doesn't matter. You get the point.

He's set to star again as John Jameson in the next movie. So maybe we'll get to see the Were-wolf / Man-wolf or whatever he was called in the comics..

Made me look. Bastard. And it workde, I read your post. Point taken, and ideally, every property would be treated with the respect it deserves. However (and I've stated this before), in the end, it doesn't matter to the powers that be, and economically it shouldn't. Whether they please those who hold the comics as sacred texts or not, those people will see the movie regardless. And if they change a comic arc in an attempt (perhaps failed) to encourage non-comics fans to see a comic book movie, will that's just extra coin in their pocket. There is no financial incentive for staying true to the original creation. Sad but true.

...why not? That's what I've been wanting all along. Something that will have visceral action to knock the eyes out of your head and an emotional range and a real maturity and intelligence that will put a film from the superhero genre up there with ANY art-house film or Hollywood 'Classic'. It can be done. The 'Sideways' of Superhero movies! Something that's going to look wonderful in 30 years and is going to make you overlook the quickly-dated special effects and just get swept up with the journey and plot. The comics have always been hinting at that on-screen potential and only Singer, Nolan and Raimi have got anywwhere near close so far. (The Donner film's great but it still feels the need to camp it up at the crucial moments). I'm waiting for a superhero film that REALLY redefines the whole genre, no Danny Frickin' Elfman, no edgy-cam, no by-the-numbers script, no 'hot young thing' in the lead but the right actor for the part (saying that I love Bale, Maguire and Jackman...)...where's Kubrick when you need 'im???? THAT'S why I hate FF, THAT's why DD is always going to be 50% of a vision, a piss poor excuse for a film, and yes, THATs why X3 will look like the peice of compromised corporate suck-up carp that it is by this time next year

...he nearly got there too...almost.

and I cannot lie, Bryce Howard's dumper is hot. But seriously I think she does look hot in the pics of her standing with Spidey.

Jesus H Christ on a crutch doing the Hippogriff, what do you people have against girls who aren't stick thin? I could maybe understand if the actress is actually ugly, but come ON she's great looking. You're so insecure that you think you could only stick you're tiny dick in a stick thin model because anyone with more weight on them you wouldn't be able to reach. You know what I'm talking about, right? I actually prefer girls with a more voluptuous curvy figure, and no that doesn't mean fat. It's the stupid attitude about weight that turns many actresses (and young girls in general) mentally ill. Fuck off, all of you.

I don't know much about the Stacy character other than she died in the comic books, and was Peter Parker's girlfriend at the time. In other words, she came before Mary Jane. So what are they doing with her in the new movie? Are they actually going to kill Mary Jane? Surely they wouldn't do that to a character, and a relationship (with Peter), that the general audience has rooted for since the beginning of the first movie, right?

anybody know? http://www.myspace.com/themoog71

...you'd know the value of a little jiggle. To quote QT. "What's pleasing to the eye and pleasing to the touch is seldom same."

There are too many posts on the transformers talkback, so I wanted to repeat myself here. Stop production on Transformers, and use my script idea. It's free: American Corporation "Autobot Inc" is competing for a military contract against Japanese manufacturer "Decepticon Corporation". Both unvale plans for transforming stealth battle vehicles. Decepticon loses the bid, despite offering more advanced engineering and transforming aircraft. They claim they lost to American hegemony. The Corporation's founder is charged with stock fraud, and he responds by activating his machines and turning on his country. His Decepticons take control of Hokkaido and establish a fortress island. His aircraft destroy the Autobot Factory. Only a few remaining Autobot prototypes remain, but they are sent to rescue Japan and the world from the Decepticon Menace. See people. That was easy. And it would kick ass. Rather than the crap they are working on.

Who is this Gwen Stacy chick? She is smokin hot.

or at least, just noticed by yours truly: JOBLO reports JESSICA ALBA confirming SILVER SURFER in F42.

Geez, the lady in the harness is about 20 years older that Bryce Howard. Still kinda MILFalicious, though. And I've got news for the fanboys who think that that's Ms. Howard in the harness - that ain't Tobey in the Spidey suit, either.

The Spider-Man movies are very entertaining the first time you see them, but because of long stretches with no action and soap opera quality dialogue, they have NO REPLAY VALUE! Introducing Venom before The Lizard or Mysterio or even Scorpion is a MAJOR issue for me and kinda makes me scream "sellout"! There's 20+ years of Spider-Man history before Venom was even intoduced. Lame!

My Spidey-sense isn't the only thing tingling!

is a fucking disgrace. She's NORMAL, unlike the disgusting skeleton parade including Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton who look like crack bitches. What's betting this talkback mainly consists of fat middle aged men. I'm so fucking sick of talkbacks descending into little boys jerking off, did you read the Natalie Portman talkback? Fucking unacceptable, GROW UP

Kirsten has made Mary Jane her own, and I like her very much in the part; the fourth villain is the Lizard, period, end of story; and can we stop with the Halle Berry hating, please? Honestly, if the woman just smiled at one of us for five seconds, we'd be proposing marriage...at least I would! 'Course, if she turned me down, there's always Ms. Howard....Oh, and doesn't Cromwell look as if he should be saying either "Have ye a valediction, boyo?" or "That'll do, pig--that'll do."

as she doesn't do anything for me (i'd take SHIRLEY MANSON over her any day; she's better looking, and her band doesn't suck - never have understood the attraction to either gwen or the band), and i like this chick.

Especially the whole kissing in the rain in Spiderman1. Musta been cold on the set. Shwing! Awesome MJ, but it would be great if they killed her off in S3, and all the more emotionally resonant if Aunt May, as Carnage, did it. Or if she slipped and fell on the ice on the way out of the house, and broke her neck, and it had nothing to do with anything except the fact Peter was too busy fighting crime that morning to salt the steps, so now he blames himself. Then, it turns out Mary Jane had been injected with some of Osborn's Super-Soldier serum, and she comes back as Wet T-Shirt Girl. Her power would be to look really hot in a wet T-shirt, hopefully for most of the movie.

As the Disco Diva. You heard it here first.

They took a beautiful girl like Bryce Howard and made her look like every other person you see on the street. Totally average.

are the virgin masturbaters. They have spent their teens and twenties masturbating to the top .005% of unobtainium and a girl with a more realistic and voluptuious figure doesn't make their 4" dicks hard. So when they are saying she is fat...they aren't saying she's too fat to have sex with (because in the outlandishly impossible chance they could have sex with her or a chick just like her, they would probably only be able to last long enough to pump twice and jizz on her bellybutton), she's just too fat to masturbate to.

and she is very cute. Perhaps some of you prefer snaggletooth Dunst. Not me. Chubby or not, she is cute. But her boobs really grew compared to the nude scene!

Since it has at least three bad guys in it. I mean is there actually going to be more than action? One fight for the new goblin, two fights for Sandman and maybe one for Lizard/Ware-man or whatever. Then Venom at the end maybe not a fight scene but still. That's a lot of fucking fight scenes so I'm pumped.

Interest in Spiderman is waning fast. Now gimme some Batman Begins 2 news, damnit. And by the way, Bryce Dallas Howard looks great. All you fucking idiots sitting behind your computers making your idiotic comments. Why dont you get up and get yourselves a life instead of criticising others? And yes, I am aware of the irony of that statement, but sometimes irony is necessary to make a point.

Never cared for Venom but having the Sandman makes up for the villian. Also, nice to see Bryce and Kirsten. Two attractive ladies. Yes, I would love a mrfan sandwich. I hope they don't bite off more than they can chew with all the extra stuff like adding more villians and characters.

to save a young Aunt May... Bryce looks more like a young version of Aunt May instead of Gwen Stacy

For crying out loud, some of you are pretty thin-skinned and easy to rile up over a simple off-the-cuff weight debate. A mere mention of the word "fat" and you're willing to riot. Look, pointing out that Bryce (or her stunt double) in the photos looks a bit heavy when photographed should not be THAT big of an emotional deal, though some of you are taking it as if it was a personal attack on you. Look, here's the cold, honest truth for some of you more sensitive types: looking at photos or filmed dailies and deciding if someone looks too thin or too fat on screen and then having to address it is a studio boardroom or behind-the-cameras decision that goes on every freakin' day here in Hollywood. It's just a natural by-product of the process, particularly given the age-old adage (and truth) that the camera will always add a few pounds to begin with. Hell, remember when way back Tobey himself had to put ON weight and beef up to prove to the Sony execs he should even be allowed to TEST for the Spider-Man role? And what about those saying Routh looks too thin to be Superman? What, somehow it's now okay to point out someone looks under-weight on camera, but NOT okay to conversely say they look a bit over? Sorry, but that political correctness bullshit and whole line about "but this is how REAL people look" has no bearing in the actual way things work out here in Hollywood, and if you don't believe it I have tons of acting friends who will be first to tell you their stories of how particular auditions ended on the spot simply because a casting director took all of 20 seconds to look at them and say "Sorry, too short. Thank you. Next! Sorry, nose is too big. Thank you. Next! Sorry, voice is all wrong. Thank you. Next! Sorry, too short. Thank you. Next! Sorry, too skinny. Thank you. Next! Sorry, too chunky. Thank you. Next!" Truth be told, she does look wide and heavy in the photo showing them suspended, but in comparison with the shots on the ground I'd agree that it's most likely the safety harness causing the difference. In the meantime, lighten up the minute someone brings up the topic of weight. What, bit touchy about your own diet not working out or something? It's clear some of you would NOT last a second here in Hollywood if you're THAT sensitive to ANY notion of someone saying "If you want to be in this movie, you're going to have to lose a few." And the cries of "But REAL women don't look picture perfect!" is a bullshit argument when talking about Hollywood since we're not talking about REAL women here -- we're talking about MOVIES and a "hyper reality" where everyone is SUPPOSED to be cast to a particular image. As such, in the case of Gwen Stacy, I don't think the completely insane and totally irrational and down and dirty name-calling argument "She should be full figured and a bit heavy like REAL women are! Screw skinny chicks! If you don't agree you must be some fucking masturbator who can't get a date anyway!" holds any water. Certainly not when compared to the REAL argument at hand, which is simply "We're bringing a comic book character to life and she's SUPPOSED to be a blonde goddess." So, right off the bat the whole argument becomes the simple fact that Gwen Stacy ISN'T supposed to look like a "real" girl dealing with a weight problem -- she's SUPPOSED to be a blonde knockout that is every guy's ultimate porn fantasy. At least if you're TRYING to be faithful to the comic Gwen Stacy...

...I think that may be in response to the criticisms that people did have about SPIDERMAN 2 for being too dour and dark overall (in terms of how much they piled things on to make Peter's life completely miserable overall) and the fact that to a lot of people the movie seemed to drag for the entire first HALF due to a noticeable lack of action. Which I have to say were my two complaints abou the film, though I did have fun seeing it in the theater overall. But I do remember sitting there in the theater and getting to that infamous bad sign, that twitchy point, where you DO sneak a peak at your watch and think "For crying out loud, where is this going? This WAS a Spiderman movie, right? I mean, he's going to show up at SOME point and we're going to get SOME action in this thing, aren't we?" So my guess is Sony and Raimi wanted to get back to a more all-out action movie this time, something that grabs you by the nuts from frame one and doesn't let up till the end. After all, we've had the origin...we've see what Peter's life is like...so you can only pile the drama on so thick before some aspects of it become TOO redundant and tiring. So the idea of making this more of a balls-out, action-packed superhero movie seems a good course correction at this time. Not to mention I'm willing to bet that being as visually creative as he is, Raimi just really wanted a Spidey film where he could REALLY let loose with a lot of stunts and visuals and fights he's has to hold back on till now.

wait a minute...bambi was emo?

That's too funny. Yeah, that makes WAY more sense. Sure, the actors will do all their own stunts. And that other Spider-man came from a comic book convention, too.

Let the truth be known. If I'm wrong, I'll eat Bryce's underware.

I need an adult! I need an adult!!

I don't care what Hollywood is "truly" like. Did it ever occur to you that MAYBE just MAYBE that Hollywood mentality that says a woman like Kate Winslet is too heavy to topline a flick is *wrong* (yes this happened and we all know Kate's movies never do well at the B.O.!) ? Did it ever occur to you that it's complete and utter sexist bullshit and deserves to be abolished? I understand Gwen Stacy the character is a sex-bomb, but actually if you're going to go there, she was created in 1965 and she was voluptious and full-figured from the start. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Stacy

Get on it faster next time. Also, she is not fat, though she looks a little... curvey, I think it's the harness. You're crazy if you think they're not going to film this thing so that she's going to be SMOKING from every angle. All this is besides the fact that she's an awesome actress. I'd like to see you guys criticizing her looks get someone better looking.

Can we please see just a small amount of Spiderman behaving with a purpose or maybe even taking the initiative for a change? I think we've seen quite enough of his victimhood and chronic depression. Not that those aren't interesting and good characterizations or plot devices, it's just been hammered home quite enough. It's time to see our hero turning the tables on the bad guys for once or at least not perpetually stepping on the same rake and getting smacked in the face.

Green Goblin II, Venom, Sandman, Chameleon...and Black Cat and the Lizard? Personally, I'm hoping for Mysterio and the Shocker...

This reminds me, what is the deal with writers of comic movies constantly getting their characters into situations where they either lose their powers or are unable to use them? It's like nobody is creative enough to put together a good challenge for our heroes unless they're first neutered somehow. But, that's not what we go to the films to see! There are so many examples. Spiderman 2, Superman 2, Fantastic Four... Xavier was out of commission for almost the entirety of the first two X movies. I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting. Say what you will about X3, but they had the balls not to gimp the mutants (past the ones they took down permanently). They actually gave us a small glimpse of what it would look like to have everyone, on both sides, playing at the top of their game. To me, the result was very satisfying. So much better than the ponderous and morose Hulk film, for example.

Was the good Captain Stacey talking to his daughter perhaps? KIDDING! (Jeez, it's obvious it's the harness, people.)

are indicative of the sum of all stunt work in Spider-man 3. This clearly indicates that Howard, and ALL other actors in Spider-man 3, do ALL of their own stunts. Oh, wait, that's ridiculous. You really are a deluded moron if you think the woman in the pics above is a stunt double. Yeah, no shit, Tobey Maguire uses a stunt double, and so does Howard and every other person involved in any action sequences in this movie, but guess what? Not in the photos in this article. You're an absolute fool and a jackass, JDanielP.

Hopefully not someone like Lizard, b/c the character deserves more time than that. Especially after having Dr. Connors in the first two films. Having the Lizard show up suddenly, then be gone for the rest of the film would be a complete waste of what they have already set up in the first two films. Maybe it'll be Spidey taking down Mysterio? Or the Scorpion? Or Rhino? Something fun and visual that adds to the colorful cast of Spidey villains contained in the comic lore, but wouldn't necessarily be a villain who could fill out a whole Spidey movie. Using one of the Sinister Six villains could also be good foreshadowing for future SPidey movies, if they ever decide to use that story.

on the black suit. Arad said we are reserving that for something else.......

Now, for your listening pleasure, a tune on the butt bongos featuring Gwen Stacy.

You all know it will. I can't wait..........Fuck all the other superhero movies.....this will destroy them all.

But the difference is, I have a lot of respect for Topher than I do Jimmy Marsden.

Damn Bryce! Been hangin' wit the homegirls? Lay off the Soda, fried food, mayo and other sugary/fatty things. Then we can deal. CGI her fat out, would ya Raimi. Looks like Spidey's saving Britney's white-trash ass.

Hey there, crazyeyezkillah. I am not your enemy. Big deal if we disagree if every pic is of the "real" Bryce or not. Don't degrade yourself by dropping to the level of a certain... infamous... talkbacker, whom loves to insult various posters every so often. But then, he does have various user I.D. names, so I suppose you could be... him. And if you are, I appreciate the more subtle aproach. And by the way, I'm no fool.

Just like I'd take Gwen Stacy over Mary Jane Watson any day of the week. The Village didn't do Bryce justice in showing of her beauty. This film will. Even though she's not as thin as Kirsten, Bryce is in no way fat. Fat is Oprah(well, used to be!). Fat is Roseanne. Bryce is not fat. And there's nothing wrong with a woman having a little meat on her bones. Boneracks like Cameron Diaz are the biggest turnoff.

Bryce Dallas Howard is gorgeous in those pics. Why the fuck you retards think she's fat is beyond me. Has anyone bothered to check out any number of publicity shots she's done for any number of roles? She's quite slim. Personally, I think she's beautiful. Point of fact, she's a total and utter hornbag. I for one would crawl over broken glass to tap her lily white ass. She is FINE....oh yeah and she's also a great actress, with a great personality and she's not an object to be degraded etc

YOU live in Paris and you're pissing everyone off! Go trill your "masterpieces" somewhere else. But first, you got any Goya knock-offs? Harry loves Goya. Harry painstakingly marveled over Goya's works at the Prado for hours on end. Harry loved all the subtle brushstrokes and sublime colors.

.. and Parker, lose the glasses.

yada yada yada. she's not fat. the geek haters have neverdated a real-life woman before i'd hit it, and richie cunningham could be my father in law. (whys he always wear that baseball cap?) ron just shave your head dammit!

You guys crack me up.

Seriously, although Bryce doesn't have a fat face, in these pics she does look fat in AND OUT OF the harness. If she was unclothed in the shape she is in now, even you cry-babies would have to admit that. Boo-hoo-hoo, we called her fat. Some of you don't seem to get worked up nearly as much when stupid, gay or other descriptors are used. Does this hit a little too close to home? If you don't get the subject heading... www.fatchicksinpartyhats.com

those periods between the action are called CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, so that we care about the characters when the action starts.

They look identical in these shots.
