Spider-Man Has Back Problems 472
skantman writes "Potentially sad news for Spiderfans. Tobey Maguire has back problems and may have to pull out of the Spider-Man sequel." Since the film was apparently slated to pay him 11M GBP, sucks to be him just as much as us if he doesn't play the part. CT Updated, thats 11M pounds, not USD.

I don't think it's the back muscle that is strained by kissing a dripping wet Kirsten Dunst.
And I do think I could suck up a little back pain for the opportunity.

The biggest variance from established continuity is the organic web shooters. Peter Parker was a science whiz and created mechanical web shooters in the comic. I read that Sam Raimi (the director) didn't think that the movie viewers would buy the fact that Parker could be smart enough to make mechanical web shooters. Nevermind the fact that the movie viewers were expected to buy the fact that an irradiated spider could bite you and give you spider powers. Oh, and shouldn't the bite have resulted in Parker shooting webs from his ass? Spiders don't even have arms.

Christopher Reeve walked in that commercial.
Sounds like CGI time to me. That is, where a regular stuntman won't serve the same purpose.

They chose to steer away from the shooters not thinking about anotomy (spider's that is). They should have made him shoot webs from his ass... then he would have been stuck wearing those red ass-flap long johns.

Reminds me of that scene in the Cheech and Chong movie when they are in France (Coriscan Brothers?) and they stop in a park with a Bistro nearby, they jump out of their panel van and start playing loud obnoxious music. Instead of playing for tips though, the owners of the bistros and cafes pay them to leave.
