Dunst Demands Asset Reduction For Spider-Man 2 Videogame

Posted by simoniker on from the too-much-is-too-much dept.

Thanks to IOL.ie for its article discussing actress Kirsten Dunst's issues in approving her videogame likeness for Activision's Spider-Man 2 game. According to the lengthy news story, "The actress was asked to give her approval for the sequel's new merchandise and had to chastise the game's saucy creators." Although the Treyarch-developed Xbox/PS2/GameCube game has been well-received, certain dimensional inaccuracies were less appreciated by Ms.Dunst, as she explains, regarding her character Mary Jane Watson: "I got to approve the video game, the way she looks. They made her boobs gigantic. I was like, 'Tone down the boobs, please!' It was a little ridiculous."

    I applaud dunst for standing up and requiring some normality in video games, especially with a character portraying herself.

    But on the other hand I'm a breast man.

    ...they don't make a Fight Club video game. I don't think I could handle that one guy's breasts being any bigger.

    I mean, it's not like they usually portray the typical male hero as a square-jawed muscle-god with abs to die for... right?
