Emma Stone’s ‘Morbid Curiosity’ About Stacy

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Columbia Pictures, Action, Adaptation, Remakes, Romance, Science Fiction, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,

Emma Stone had a "morbid curiosity" about her character in The Amazing Spider-Man.

The actress was thrilled to land the role of the superhero's first love Gwen Stacy in the new movie because she is fascinated with their tragic romance which ends in Gwen's death in the comic book series.

"I think I have a morbid curiosity. I've always had this awareness of my own mortality, so it's like, 'Wow, that's pretty epic.' And also the way her death goes is so heart-wrenching and so tragic, it's not just her death but it's all the other elements of it that are a huge draw to the character. Does that sound f****d up? I thought it was awesome. I just thought it was just staggering, and so bold. And I know people boycotted the comics when it happened. It's a really wild and oddly very exciting element for me to play. There's a little insight into my psyche."

Emma Stone Worried About Spider-Man Fans

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Columbia Pictures, Action, Adaptation, Drama, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,

Emma Stone is concerned fans won't be satisfied with her performance in The Amazing Spider-Man.

The 23-year-old actress portrays the role of Gwen Stacy in the movie - opposite Andrew Garfield as the titular character - and she admits not everyone is going to be pleased with how she has represented the character.

"This is 50 years worth of comic book material. There are different incarnations of Gwen, and I realized that you can't please everybody. They're hoping that you can bring this character to life, in the best way that you know how. I hope that people are satisfied. I know that not everybody will be, and that's one of those trials of being human, when you learn that not everybody can like you. It is a tough lesson, isn't it?"

Despite her worries, director Marc Webb admits it was an easy decision to cast Emma - who is best known for roles in Easy A and The Help: "When we did a screen test, what was great was that Emma brought a level of humor and levity that Andrew really responded to, and there was this immediate sense of lightness in the interaction."
