*thumbs down from garland-wearing Joaquin Phoenix* She must DIE!
Okay, I'm exaggerating. There's nothing particularly offensive about Julia Stiles as young actresses these days goes...she's lovely, but she's overexposed and has more natural charisma than acting ability (who else can make Kat from "Taming of the Shrew" and Ophelia from "Hamlet", even in cheesy updated versions, into similar characters?). The girl is in everything. Besides, there just aren't enough fiesty redheads on-screen, it's gotta be Mary, and I can't see Julia doing the henna thing.
Hilary Swank springs to mind, but she's probably too classy for this now.

You ain't fooling me, sweetie...*I* remember the next Karate Kid even if no one else alive does.
: As far as anything I've heard on ZENtertainment and Comic Book Resources, there's no solid casting for Pete's love interest yet, but Julia Stiles is in competition for the role. Whether it's MJ or Gwen Stacy, we might not know until it's in progress.

: : Sheesh...I find that incredible to believe. Weeelll, maybe not, Peter Parker was always sort of wishy-washy, he had no self-esteem from being abused as a child -- and Tobey does have that Ned Flanderish quality about him. Who are they going to get to be the hot redheaded chick, is what I want to know.
: : See, Jason? ANYBODY can star in an action movie, whether they got Ah-nold sized biceps or not.

: : : Hello Mr. Smith, sir,
: : : I just have a couple comic book related questions for you. Don't worry, they're not about what's going on with Green Arrow. First one is this, which DC universe character is your favorite? Basically, if you were given the opportunity to write any DCU character, who would it be? Would it still be Green Arrow? Or someone else?
: : : My other question is this, what do you think about the casting of Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man? What do you think about the general direction Sam Raimi is taking with the film? Happy? Disappointed? Wait and see?
: : : Lastly, not comic related at all, but something I'm just curious about. Of all the characters you've created, do you have a favorite? I know as a writer you love them all, but is there one you love just a little more than the others? You know, like the way my parents love me just a little bit more than my sisters. Just wondering. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
