Spider-Man Has Back Problems
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.
Sounds like a winning lifestyle endorsement to me...

I have back problems too so I suppose I'm out of the running for his slot.
Almost all of the cool Spidey stuff in the first movie was CGI anyway, so what is it exactly that Mr. Macguire can't do? Pose?
Do you really need that much back muscle to kiss a dripping wet Kirsten Dunst?

Hey, I'd probably sprain my back, carrying around a wallet that heavy.
When all you have is an axe, everything looks like a grindstone.
"Tobey Maguire may pull out of Spider-Man" - Thats the title of the linked article. Am I the only one who thinks that sounds funny?
I gotta grow up.
Sound waves should be free!
There were 2 other Batman movies?
Nothing to see here. Move along.

Translation from Hollywood-ese: "We know we just stuck it to you for $11 large, but our client has his $10,000 a day Fabrege Egg habit to support, so we thought we'd try and up the price by another $3 million. OK?"
I have back problems. I injured my back about a year ago carrying something heavy. It hurts a lot.
But if you think I'd let that come between me and Kirsten Dunst, you're an idiot.

And now there's no reason for the "low on web fluid" plots.
All he has to do now is massage his spidey-prostate and he's good to go.
I tried every decent and legal way I could think of to resolve the issue w/the business before I rented the chicken suit
Right, but who gets to kiss Kirsten then????
Time to find that old "Stunt Doubling for Dummies" book...
For 11 million pounds (or even dollars) I would stuff myself with painkillers, keep my mouth shut about the pain and pocket the money ! What's the big deal ? =)
Some people will do anything to get a backrub by Kirsten Dunst

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

Then they come out with The Hulk. True, the web shooters were dropped because they weren't plausible during this time and age. But the parent/parent was talking about "true to comics" in which Peter made the shooters.
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.
Both of those actors were dicks.
