Emma Stone is (probably) Mary-Jane

According to Deadline, Emma Stone (re: "that hot chick from 'Easy A'") is about to win the dubious honor of being Sony Picture's pick to be the new Mary-Jane Watson in the "Spider-Man" reboot - also known as "Spider-Man Begin-Again" or "Spiderlight" elsewhere on the web.

This is too bad on multiple levels - most-notably because this means the damn thing is still happening, but because Stone is a genuine talent, a real rising star who deserves a major role like this AND she's a dead-ringer for the character, much moreso than Kirsten Dunst ever was; in a different scenario this would be really good news. Sadly, here on Earth-1, the headline is basically "Promising Starlet to Damage Career With Appearance in Innevitable Trainwreck."

"Spider-Man: We Needed to Hold Onto The Rights" is still looking for other cast members, most-notably another actress for Gwen Stacy. Directed by Marc Webb, the film is set to be released in 2012, will be shot in 3D, and suck.
