Caught In The Web

Dark Horizons (along with just about every other online media outlet that covers the film industry) posted the news that actress Bryce Dallas Howard, daughter of director/actor Ron Howard, is slated to join the cast of Spider-Man 3, playing the love of Peter Parker's life--Gwen Stacey.

Anyone familiar with the Marvel Comics mythology of the wall crawler knows how important she is to the story. As someone who knows the back story, I have been wondering how (if at all) franchise director Sam Raimi, would work her in to the ongoing storyline of the movies.

I have only seen her in The Village, from a couple of years ago. Let's just say the movie isn't one of my favorites and leave it at that. She is teaming, once again, with M. Night Shyamalan ( he made the aforementioned Village) this year for Lady In The Water. She certainly looks the part of Gwen...If given a good script, I am sure she'll be able to pull it off.
