Emma Stone

Fact From the Vapor of Nuance

I Feel Like I’m the Only Person on the Internet Who Doesn’t Think These Amazing Spider-Man Photos Mean that [SPOILER]

The biggest news on the Amazing Spider-Man 2 front lately has been some Getty Images pictures (snapped by Bobby Bank) of Emma Stone standing by a railing. Lots of folks are taking it as evidence that TASM2 will be dropping the proverbial other shoe when it comes to her character, and… oh, fine, I’ll put a thirty year old plot point under a spoiler cut. Lots of folks are taking it as evidence that TASM2 will be killing Gwen Stacy.

I’m not convinced, but if you don’t want to find out what’s under that spoiler tag, don’t read the rest of the post.

Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak Just Got Itself a Chastain, a Cumberbatch, a Stone, and a Hunnam

One of the approximately half-a-dozen or so Guillermo del Toro projects I’m looking forward to (he’s a busy dude) is Crimson Peak, the director’s subversion of the gothic romance genre (with ghosts!). If that basic idea isn’t enough to grab you, del Toro’s gone and booked some really good actors: Jessica Chastain, Benedict Cumberbatch, Emma Stone, and Charlie Hunnam.

Guillermo del Toro On Writing Pacific Rim 2 and Haunted House Gothic Romance Crimson Peak. Are We Sure There Aren’t Two of Him?

Seriously. Pacific Rim is still in post-production. There being multiple Guillermo del Toros has got to be the only way he can do this many things at once, right?

In an interview with Total Film the busier-than-you filmmaker talked about Pacific Rim 2, which he’s currently writing (of course he is; this is Guillermo “Do ALL the movies!” del Toro we’re talking about) and shared some details on Crimson Peak, his first post-PR project.

Andrew Garfield to Don the Spandex Suit Again in The Amazing Spider-Man Sequel

Was there ever any doubt? As of yesterday, floppy-haired Peter Parker Andrew Garfield has officially signed on star in the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man. Also announced is the return of director Marc Webb, which was in doubt due to Webb being contractually obligated to direct a film for Fox. But all that’s been worked out (dare we say… untangled?) now.

Spider-Man Stars Turn Paparazzi Attack Into Impromptu Charity Push


Andrew Garfield‘s really taking this whole superhero thing to heart. He and Emma Stone, upon finding themselves stalked happened upon (what a crazy random happenstance!) by paparazzi while enjoying nice lunch in New York City over the weekend, took advantage of the cameras pointed their way to put some good vibes out into the universe, whipping up a pair of cardboard signs to support charity organizations Worldwide Orphans Foundation (WWO) and Gilda’s Club, named for legendary comedienne Gilda Radner, which provides emotional and social support to New Yorkers living with cancer:

Review: The (Less Than) Amazing Spider-Man

Watching The Amazing Spider-Man, there was one adjective that kept coming to mind, and it wasn’t “amazing.” The Serviceable Spider-Man doesn’t have the same ring to it, though.

Maybe that’s getting off to an overly negative start. I didn’t think it was a bad movie, understand. But… look, going into this summer, I was really excited about the trio of superhero movies set to make their silver screen debuts. (The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises… not that you need reminding.)

Saturday Night Live Totally Geeked Out Last Night

Last night was Emma Stone‘s second time hosting Saturday Night Live, and there’s a good reason she was invited back: she is very, very funny. But if she was going to be talking about The Amazing Spider-Man, then we were definitely going to be paying attention. And she did! And while I’m having extremely mixed feelings on her Gilda Radner-inspired bumper (pictured above), there was some pretty sweet geek material to talk about. Get ready for some Spidey action and technology — humping!

Celebrities Are Star Wars Nerds, Too [Video]

Celebrities are just like us! A group of Hollywood types — Emma Stone, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Jaime King, and a few others — got together to re-enact their favorite scenes from Star Wars as part of an awareness campaign by Stand Up to Cancer, which raises money for cancer research. Celebrities waving their nerd flags high is pretty fun, so we support this silly video effort.
