Guess Who Is About To Walk Into Peter Parker's Life Now!!!! SPIDER-MAN 3 News! Hey True Believers, Harry Knowles here with some Marvel news to really marvel about. Now, it might be backwards as hell... how Sam Raimi's done this, but he seems intent on doing it. Sam is gonna bring the most beloved character in the history of SPIDER-MAN into the cinematic fold. That's right. As rumors of the second coming of the Green Goblin mount... From screen right enters... GWEN STACY!!!
When Avi Arad called me this morning to discuss the HULK sequel - he let slip that he was intent on calling me today anyway to drop this megabomb of coolnews. He knew that I would friggin love this like no tomorrow! For me, Gwen Stacy is the very embodiment of YOUNG LOVE. She is that teenage girl that dreamt of all those tomorrows that she'd never live. She was the damsel that wasn't saved. Right when Spidey was getting cocky about web-slinging and soul-saving... he lost another. This one, within his own soul. For serious comics fans, the Gwen Stacy story is sacred text. It is, along with the coming of Galactus - the single greatest Superhero arc of the Silver Age. And it was the exact opposite of that story. FF 48, 49 and 50 were about the story cosmic, this was about the story intimate.
As of about an hour ago, the contract was signed. Sam Raimi and Avi Arad have their sweetheart. They've cast young Bryce Howard, yes, Ron Howard's daughter - the one playing the title character in M Night's next film. Bryce is just about the hottest young emerging talent out there right now - and she is, like her father once was, a redhead... but like Ron - she's going b... no, not bald, but BLONDE - hopefully Platinum Blonde for the role of Gwen Stacy. Avi wouldn't tell me if Bryce was signed for one or two pictures. But the key for me was always Gwen's eyes. She had amazing, captivating grey-blue newsprint eyes. Here's the photo Avi sent me, with the note, "Of course she will be blonde..."
Sam's been stellar so far - and this is definitely the right step to head in. Now - if only he'd kill Mary Jane instead. Heh.

gross... she reminds me of cynthia nixon who i also find hardly attractive. should have gone with Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, or Elisha Cuthbert. IMHO Ron's daughter is borderline ugly, and far far far from cute.

Panties aren't the best thing in the world but they are the closest thing to it
someone please tell a "never read the comics" guy who this Gwen Stacey is?
she was sorta the golden rule of comics, along with captain americas bucky (though both have been bent/broken) in that once they died, they stayed dead.
basically the love of pakers life, she watched as spiderman was blamed for her fathers death (he was a sgt with the police or something). as her father laid dying, he told spiderman.....peter...take care of gwen. along with some other comments he had made in the past, this led peter to believe mr stacey knew who he was and approved of his being a vigilante.
later on, the green goblin, knowing spidermans true identity, kidnaps his girlfriend and holds her hostage on a bridge. he then gives spiderman a choice, capture the green goblin (who was actually harrys father, norman) or save his girlfriend, as the goblin tosses her off the bridge.
electing to save his gf and his secret identity be damned, he tries to shoot a web to catch her. he webs up her foot, but the inertia/gravity of her falling ends up snapping her neck. (this was also sorta used in spiderman I, when the goblin tosses MJ off the cable car)

So, are they planning Spidey 4? Has the pricipal cast agreed to more movies? I remember Dunst said she would be done after 3.
I think if they can make this next one decent and keep all the original cast, which it seems like they have, they'd be wise to quit while they're ahead.
The Gwen Stacy thing is strange, since it already seemed like they used the major plotlines she was involved in, with MJ substituting obviously.
I can't wait to see this though, I absolutely love Spider-Man.

If that's the Venom suit, it seems that it's only coated the old costume, which is kinda unfortunate...I was always fond of the black duds, on either Spidey or Venom...
