Quint interviews Gwen Stacy herself, Bryce Dallas Howard!!!

Published at:  Aug 05, 2006 1:04:12 PM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The lead-up to this interview was the most interesting of all the Con interviews. You see, my friends at Sony told me they'd try to arrange one on one interviews for SPIDER-MAN 3, but they couldn't guarantee anything. I had to skip out of the second half of the Marvel panel to just sit outside the hall and hope I could get some interviews. I was offered the roundtable interviews, but what's the point? I'm sure you've already read (or heard) that interview on the dozen sites that sit at those. It's the same story and so impersonal that I just can't stomach them.



So, I was sitting out in the hall with some guys from Variety, who were also waiting to hear about one on ones. They were really cool guys and we talked a bit about how the Con was going. Then they got told it was a no-go for their one on ones. They went down to watch the GHOST RIDER panel that was underway and make sure they had a seat for the SPIDER-MAN 3 presentation. Well, I thought, that's it for me. If Variety isn't getting anybody, then why the hell would they give me anybody?



I was trying to decide if I should make sure I had a seat for the SPIDER-MAN 3 presentation when Ian, my Sony friend, came out and grabbed me, leading me out to the open-air area. I was with 2 other guys I didn't know and we were each set up at 3 different tables. The idea was to circulate 3 SPIDEY people between us. In front of me was Topher Grace chatting with someone that didn't look like a journalists, just hanging out. Past him was Sam Raimi doing an interview. To my right was Thomas Hayden Church doing an interview and next to him was Bryce Dallas Howard doing a one on one with somebody.



It turned out we only got one interview each I don't know who these other guys got, but they lead Bryce Dallas Howard over to me.



My first impression of her was that she was even more beautiful in person than she is on the screen. I thought she was pretty in THE VILLAGE (still haven't seen LADY IN THE WATER, but I will soon), but she was just gorgeous in person. I know that's becoming a Comic-Con cliche for me and I apologize, but Ms. Howard was not only pretty, but she was very friendly and even a little geeky. There's nothing hotter than a beautiful woman who reads comic books.



So, I had no interview questions prepared since I had no idea who I was going to chat with. However, I think the interview turned out really well. I wish I could have spent more time talking with her about the film, but this is one of the better 5 minute interviews of the Con. At least I think so. Keep in mind this was before the presentation (by about 10 minutes, actually) and no one but Sam Raimi was announced as being there... Enjoy!









QUINT: The geeks are going to freak out when they see you guys...



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: (laughs) Oh, man!



QUINT: Especially since you're bringing footage.



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: And I think they don't know. Is it true they don't know?



QUINT: They don't know you guys are here. There's some rumors spreading that the panel is more than what it appears to be, but I don't think it went too far.



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: I'm so excited! I can't wait! This is going to be so amazing.



QUINT: They'll probably ask lots of blonde questions...



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: (laughs) No problem.



QUINT: And so am I!



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: (laughs) Sure!



QUINT: SPIDER-MAN was always my favorite Marvel title and I grew up reading the books. I had to get the trade paperbacks... I couldn't afford the original stuff that Gwen Stacy appeared in. Did you read the comics at all?



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: Here's my history with comics. Not when I was very young... and, actually, what brought me to the comic books, which is what I loved so much about this franchise, were the films themselves. When I saw the first film and then when I saw the second film I'm like, "What is this? This is amazing! And what is going to happen!?" So, it was only then that I became interested in the comic books. Then, of course, when I was cast I was just, like... I became this voracious comic book reader. It's just so amazing and it's such an amazing tradition. All the kids that I've been talking to who read comic books and are now grown ups... it unifies them. It's something that when you know you're talking to a fellow comic book reader there's that instant connection.



QUINT: When you got the part did you go back and look at the original comics and take anything specific from that depiction of Gwen Stacy?



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: Sure. First and foremost, the look of the character was imperative in creating that... And secondly... well, what world is this girl coming from? I mean, she's coming from a very, very different world than, for instance, Mary Jane, a very different familial background. If that's her backstory, how does she enter to this film tonally that's also appropriate? I mean, she can't come in just like sunshiny all the time, but how do we create that...



QUINT: ... to contrast Mary Jane...



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: Exactly, exactly.



QUINT: I know a lot of people are curious how they're approaching your character in this new film. By the time Mary Jane and Peter Parker are really serious in the books, Gwen is long gone.



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: Yeah! (laughs) Long gone!



QUINT: Do they treat it like a triangle? Because they can't have Gwen come in without Peter being attracted to her... At least I hope they wouldn't...









BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: Well, like in all of the films they've approached these storylines in very unique ways while still being reverent of them. What they've created... absolutely plausible and believable and fantastical and great. I mean, I'm very happy. I believed it.



QUINT: What was your favorite thing that you shot for the movie?



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: I'd have to say that moment where I was on 52nd Street and falling down 5 stories, holding on to Spider-Man. I was just like, "This is AMAZING!!! This is unbelievable!" I was in New York, being carried by Spider-Man!



QUINT: And that was you, not a stunt double?



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Totally! I wouldn't let it be anyone else! I felt so bad for the stunt team because they were always having to figure out ways to protect me because I was like, "I'm doing everything." How could I not do everything?!?



QUINT: What's your favorite Gwen Stacy trait that you brought to the character?



BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: Her unconscious and innocent sensuality is what I liked about her.









See why she stole my heart? Too bad she's married... all the good ones are taken, eh? Also notice my SPIDER-MAN poster cameo in the pics? Heh...



I'm hoping to wrangle a phone interview or two from the Sony people regarding this project. Fingers crossed. The footage they showed at the Con was great (read my coverage here!!!), the cast all seemed very enthusiastic... I can't wait to see Raimi hit a home run with his 3rd SPIDER-MAN film!

    by iamnicksaicnsn

    Now, this is what I was talking to with my friend about at the Con. When most actors say "oh wow, after I saw these movies [or after I got cast] I read these comics and they were great!" it pretty much sounds like bullshit, eg, Bryce Dallas Howard. Now, when Nicolas Cage spoke, even though he sounded really drugged out, the passion behind his words about his love for comics was really evident. So for that reason, I think Ghost Rider has a legitimate chance to be good. Of course, Spider-man 3 will still probably be the best movie of all time, despite the fact BDH probably doesn't really care about the books.

    Don't blame the stars for not being geeks.

    by creasybear

    Stars are mainly extroverts who fearlessly put themselves out there to be loved or hated (being pretty optimistic that they're going to be loved). It seems that comic book readers (esp. past age 12) are introverted, choosing to delve into a private make-believe fantasy rather than interact with other people. Exceptions I'm sure, but there's not much common ground between the two.

    2. Bryce Dallas Howard is not that hot!!! Sure I love me my readheads and she has some cuteness thing going on but she looks like a wanna be porn actress in some B-rate amature porn. I mean come on people, you walk down the streets in any major city and you'll find 20 woman who look like her. And standing next to them will be their hot friends. She also looks pasty and close to pudgy.
    3. Most really good actors/writers/directors ARE geeks. They have to be to create a make-believe fantasy for every project. Now they might not all be comic book/star wars/LOTR geeks, but they most definately are in their own way.

    or how about this:

You approach men with that ignorant viewpoint and you'll be used, abused and thrown away with the trash. And "my mommie works in Hollywood" just don't cut it when your talking with people who actually pay their bills working in this industry. Arguing with a 17 year old is like masterbating with a cheese grater. It might be interesting at first but after a while it gets painfull. BYE!!

    by mechasheeva

    "all you can think about is getting through life and your children" - Come back when you're 30 and let us know how that's going for you. It IS possible to be a 30-year-old woman with NO children, a fulfilling job, and free time to do what you really want to do, believe me I know plenty. As for your little viewpoints on comic books, get over it, man, they're not just for kids and they're not just for males anymore. My sister is 24, read for V for Vendetta and loved the hell out of it, and she doesn't even approach being nerdy. For someone whose proclaims to be so worldly, you have an awfully small mind.

    Hmm, Hollywood actors are all embarrassed about doing action movies, eh? Damn us stupid masses who actually pay to see movies. Spielberg, Lucas, Cameron, Singer, Raimi - fools all! If only they had the keen insight of the human condition and incomparable filmmaking craft of the likes of Paul Haggis. Having seen Crash, it turns out that some people are racist and that is not nice - thanks, Paul - I'll also go and watch some of your Chuck Norris shows now. It's good that the Oscar voters (i.e. those folk to whom Regina is referring) know what a good movie is better than us. The endlessly-watched and debated Ordinary People better than The Empire Strikes Back - of course! Driving Miss Daisy better than Batman - sure! I see that LOTR is respected by everyone in Hollywood though. It's the only fantasy film which has ever been any good - after all, it's based on an esteemed work of lit-er-a-ture, not some silly comics.

    About Bryce Dallas Howard

    by pdid

    She's basically a slightly less attractive version of Mischa Barton. Not only that, but her two big movies, The Village and Lady in the Water, didn't require amazing acting skill (Full Disclosure: I haven't seen Lady in the Water yet). In fact, The Village was crap, and she wasn't that good in it. If Opie weren't her father she'd most likely be waiting tables in West Hollywood and be a year or two away from breaking down and doing Cinemax movies.

    I'm 21, and I just wanted to say that I understand your mindset, but you need to try to understand the broad spectrum of illustrated literature. For many people here, it's impossible to segregate the visceral thrill that comics and the cinema both afford. Also, I hope you realize that many young women today are intent on keeping their ovaries under lock and key for many, many years. Just try to broaden your perspective....

    You'll likely change more in the next 10 years than you did in the last 10. And I'm sure you changed a lot between 7 and 17. Trust us, you can't know what were talking about until you have actually lived some adult life. You aren't even an adult, much less have any time spent as one. Bryce Dallas Howard is fine, and an excellent actress. Check out the bonus materials on The Village. She has one hell of a nice booty on her. I hope Sam Raimi gives us a nice shot of that rear-end. Pdid, you don't know what you're talking about, Bryce's performance in The Village is extraordinary.

    You actually sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and that's good to start with. Look at it this way, you've seen a myriad of different types of people in the coffeeshop come and go. What do you really know about these people? There's more to everyone than meets the eye. Did you know there are women artists and writers in comics? They have to be mid twenties and up right? They'd have to read comics to keep thier fingers on the pulse too. I don't find that odd I find it brilliant. It just seems when you think of comics you think superheros. There's an entire world out there of actual visual literature that has nothing to do with spandex. You can bet we TalkBackers have a laundry list to start with if you're interested.

    I'm not sure spider was any more accurate than ...

    by spiderhulk

    beautiful mind... There are many different types of schitzophrenia, and ways in which it develops in a person. They haven't even pin pointed down what causes it yet. There are conflicting studies on whether it is just psychological, genetic, or a combination of both brought on by a traumatic event. I think that 'A beautiful mind' did a good job at allowing the audience to sympathize with those inflicted with this disease. One reason it was good was because it didn't portray someone with schitzophrenia as a violent person. Myth is is that most schitzophrenic people are violent, which is not at all true in many cases. Although I haven't really seen spider, I assume because its a cronenberg film a lot of it has to do with violence. There is such a small percentage of people with schitzophrenia that develop violent behaviors it is practically a non-existent correlation.

    "Emoticon" was my favorite transformer, Creasy Bear.

    by uncapie

    Except, I couldn't understand his function. Why would they give him the form of a tree for crying out loud?! All the other robots turned into cool machinery. "Emoticon" only had two abilities; " a sad tree" and "a happy tree." Maybe he'll be in Bay's movie as a background extra.

    She is more beautiful in those interview pics than in the films I've seen. Part of me is thinking they'll have MJ die and Peter end up with Gwen. That would be a real switch-a-roo!

    by pdid

    Really guys, get a grip. She's not as skinny as say Nicole Richie or Lindsay Lohan, but then again she probably doesn't put an 8-bll of coke up her nose every night. Like I said before, shes a slightly less attractive version of Mischa Barton. She's still attractive, but she's not the most amazingly hot chick in Hollywood.

    Well ... you're wrong. That was actually pretty horrible. She gave the typical comic book answer when asked if she read any comics. I'm sick of hearing "journalists" ask that question to stars in comic book films.

    Oh, and good job putting this out there two weeks after the Con. Must have taken you forever to transcribe .... 5 minutes of audio.

Stop trying to act like bad asses when you guys worship X-men or Nacho Libre. It's really funny and kind of sad reading these comments. I agree that Lady in the Water sucked but she actually was okay in it. Also did it really cost 130 million that's fucking crazy. I thought I read in Variety it cost like 60 million but if it was 130 Night is done. I like WB too they usually make better movies then most but yeah 06 has been rough on them.

    Are you kidding me? I'm not slamming her because I'm too busy reading x-men to get a girl (I've had better looking booty calls), I'm saying that I think she is so compleatly average looking and such a lower than average actress if it wasn't for her father she wouldn't have a job. I'm not hatin, but there is way to much hype over this chick whose SAG card is due to the fact that she won the parental lottery (not that she's the first). And for what its worth alienindisguise, if you need makeup to be a 9 you ain't a 9.

    Ron Howard gave us Night Shift, Splash, and Bryce

    by zeke25:17

    The first two are among my favorite comedies ever; the latter is a stunning young woman who seems to have a brain in her head and (surprise, surprise) doesn't look like a plastic LA cokesniffing, clubbing, sex-videotaping bimbo. No wonder so many of the posters on this here board don't like her! And Regina Taylor, if you're still out there: your writing is a helluva lot better than some on here TWICE your age. That being said, a good comic is a piece of literature, far as I'm concerned: stuff I read as a preteen still holds up well today.

    I'm listening to all you friggin Neanderthals talking about her being fat, or having a putty ass... listen here, you imbeciles... any man who wants a skinny beanpole woman is a closet pedophile. Most of you losers will never actually meet a woman in real life, so all of your experience amounts to Googling pictures of Paris Hilton. Now, go and search out some pictures of the skinny women at Dachau and stroke your skinny little phalli.

    by ribbons

    ...if Bryce Dallas Howard is fat, then I have a thing for fat chicks. She seems very attractive to me. The people who write long dissertations about how Gwen Stacy's not allowed to look like Howard because she was supermodel-calibre gorgeous are creating impossibly high standards of beauty because their expectation of Gwen, and possibly of women in general, is for her to be an object of desire -- no matter how much they protest to the contrary. Why does it matter *how* pretty Gwen is? Why? She's still pretty. If you saw her on the subway, you'd still be attracted to her. And Tobey Maguire can't pull a supermodel anyway. The movie's supposed to be about the relationship between those two, keep in mind, not the relationship between a movie starlet and the blood rushing to your penis. And as far as I can tell, nothing about their relationship actually changes based on how she looks. It's even more trivial than Eddie Brock being all big and muscley. And people can deny it all they want, but when they suggest Jenna Jameson(!) would make a better Gwen Stacy than Bryce Dallas Howard, then they're being shallow.

    by mr. profit

    The way she looked as Regina George would have been a perfect Gwen Stacy. This chick? I dunno. Is Raimi gay? Because seriously he managed to pick 2 ugly chicks to be Peter's love interests, and in the comics they were drawn looking pretty. Kirsten is haggard and her teeth are sharp and yellow, and Bryce (while cuter that Dunst) is still not beautiful.

    Just average looking. You guys go overboard with the "Fat" stuff. Super Skinny is not hot. Big fake tits and a flat ass is not sexy. Women like Jessica Biel are sexy. Healthy looking women who got their shit tight. It's also insulting when skinny Hollywood chicks think there isn't a need to tone up and do exercise. Skinny and flabby bitches like Lohan and Paris are fucking gross. Did you see Paris Hilton's "Ass Flap" on Defamer? WTF?

    And so true. It's interesting that if you don't find this girl attractive your accused of likeing string bean poles like Paris or Lohan, who are some skanky ass bitches. If a girl can pinch the skin on her arms and it streaches out half a foot it ain't sexy. Whether a girl is on the thick booty side or thinner doesn't matter but she needs to be tight. Pasty, flabby cottage cheese skin is a turn off. And any chick who says "real women have curves" is a girl who is pissed that she can't get a date because of how fat she is. Period.

    Sorry my dear, but men do not think like children. If that were the case, we wouldn't have civilization, 99% of the scientific advances, culture, reason, literature, or HIStory. We'd have HERstory, which amounts to the story of what is going on with the neighbors and other meaningless gossip.
