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.

He played the lead in October Sky, didn't he? If that's the case, he would make an excellent replacement, though I still feel sorry for Tobey.

I don't remember the details, but Terri Gross asked him about changes in the movie, and this was one he brought up. I think in the end, he decided it didn't bother him very much. He figured that it would take up too much screen-time to go through the whole process of him inventing his web-shooters.

I hear Jackie Chan say he only uses the stunt doubles for some scenes in his American movies because the insurance underwriters demand it. No insurance (for movie completion) no movie. The Hong Kong movies are still him. (Last I heard at least.)
