As most know by now, Emma Stone will be playing Gwen Stacy, the lead love interest in Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot. For the part, Emma Stone will revert to her natural hair color, blonde. This is your first look at Emma Stone as a blond. It doesn’t feel right.
In other Spider-Man reboot news, Irrfan Khan (Slumdog Millionaire) has been added to the cast as a second villain. He will play Van Adder. I bet even the comic-book geekiest among you have little clue who the hell that is. (THR)
In yet more Spider-Man reboot news, Campbell Scott and Julianne Nicholson have been cast as Peter Parker’s parents in the film. At least we know that, with Peter Parker’s parents, and with Gwen Stacey, this won’t be the same origins story as the Tobey Maguire origins story.
In news that has nothing to do with Spider-Man, Rooney Mara — who is playing the lead in David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo — broke her silence long enough to poke fun at Fincher’s directing style, in an email to EW: “”It’s -9 degrees Celsius. 37 takes down, only about 42 more to go,” she writes. “Every time he says, ‘Okay, last one,’ I fall for it. Every. Single. Time. If only I could get this damn shrug right, then maybe I could go inside and my nipple ring would have time to thaw out…” (EW)
Kirsten Dunst, who has a brief nude shower scene in All Good Things will once again appear nude in Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia, a sci-fi disaster film. And no: The disaster is not Kirsten Dunst nude. Come on, people. You’ve gotta do better than that. (Vanity Fair)
Finally, Jay Roach (Austin Powers, Meet the Fockers) has cast Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis to star in a political comedy about two men running for president. The movie will be released in 2012, timed with the 2012 presidential election. (Deadline)
Warner Brothers is developing a musical for Robert Downey, Jr., in which he would play one half of a Broadway due whose latest musical flops, forcing the two to become counselors at a theater camp. Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt (Broadway’s Next to Normal) are handling music and lyrics. (Deadline)
And speaking of musicals, George Clooney is lining up a big-screen adaptation of Enron: The Musical, which will be adapted to the screen by Lucy Prebble, the playwright. (The Guardian)

At least with Julianne Nicholson the movie will have one hot redhead.

I don't even see Emma Stone inside that Generic blond girl.
Also, Next To Normal is fucking genius. I've seen the show twice, so I look forward to seeing what those writers will do with RDJ.

She looks like Sienna Miller. And while Sienna Miller is a real looker and all, as an actress you probably don't want to be getting mistaken for her.

Kirsten Dunst's picture makes my penis sad and mopey. Having sex with her would be like humping a bowl of Xanax-addled dumplings. Sure it's soft and inviting, but what the fuck, man?

Erm, I saw Enron on Broadway. It was entertaining. It's not a movie. It was barely a musical, so I don't know what it's going to have over Smartest Guys in the Room.
Hmm. Maybe titling it "Enron for Dummies" would help. Or "A 101 Pop Culture-Based Metaphors to Help You Understand the Enron Collapse"
Enron would have been better as an off-Broadway show.

Emma Stone may be naturally blonde, but not that shade of blonde. Of course, stripping the red out, can be tricky (which is funny, given how quickly it fades as a color in general).

You guys are idiots. I think it's great that Emma Stone is going blonde for the reboot. It's a major part and given that she's starting to build a following I think changing her look up is the perfect way to get people to stop associating her with her goofier recent misfit-type roles. I for one and am excited to see what kinda performance gets paired with this look.

Give me 10 minutes in a tire swing and I can produce some cake and whiskey for that feast you're enjoying, superasente. Just ignore any pills or fur you may encounter.

I'm continually baffled by the idea that there is a segment of the male population that does NOT think Kirsten Dunst is hot. It's not like she's famous because of her acting ability, for God's sake. If she's decided she's finally cool with getting naked, all I can say is "Thanks!"
Posted by: Todd at December 6, 2010 4:03 PM
Why does everyone hate Kirsten Dunst so much?
Also, give Emma Stone a break. I bet she is happy for the opportunity to run around with her natural hair colour for a while. As a natural blonde who is usually dyed red I sympathise with this. People actually get angry at me when I go back to my natural colour but come on, sometimes I get tired of dealing with roots. Show us real blondes some love!
... yes, I do realize that I sound like a whiny baby and the red/blonde issue is not a valid problem.

I do like Kirsten Dunst, but I also find her anagram nickname "Dr. Sunken Tits" to be hilariously appropriate. I'm easy like that.
Posted by: Craig at December 6, 2010 4:37 PM
Every time I see an image of Kirsten Dunst, I have the urge to hold it down and forcibly shower it.
Posted by: Vonnegut Slut at December 6, 2010 4:55 PM
Actually, I think Emma Stone as a blond is kinda hot. And Dunst.
Fuck you all! ;)

Bitches be trippin'! You guys are all nuts. I girlcrush on Emma Stone so hard, I want to BE her. You could punch her in the face, draw a silly moustache on her, and toss her in front of me with matted greasy hair, and I'd still be like 'OHMYFUCKINGGODILOVEYOUSOMUCHBEMYBFF4EVERANDEVER!!'
Can't tell me Bryce Dallas Howard looked better. Can't tell me.
Posted by: Laurie at December 6, 2010 10:11 PM
I'm not usually too hard on people for their looks, or what have you, but My GOD, Dunst's posture is appalling. I mean really, I beg of you, just do some yoga or push ups or something that doesn't involving bending over, just to have your shoulders back to a human structured gait. You pretty and all, but I cant fucking look at you. *
*(bad day at work apologies, Ms. Dunst.)

Perhaps the group of wilting penasia (tm. Louis CK) should have read this article as I did:
Rooney Mara: "...my nipple ring..."
I'm sure there are other news stories above, but I can't remember any of them.
Posted by: Steve at December 8, 2010 2:12 AM
This definitely does not look right, I liked her color and cut better in Easy A. Good to see that she is moving up in the film industry though. As a blonde Emma Stone is still pulling it off!
Gimme my redhead Emma Stone back!
