Bryce Dallas Howard has played Gwen Stacy. Daughter of famous director Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind), Bryce rose to fame working in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village. Spider-Man 3 is her first big budget movie and in an interview with AP this beautiful actress turned mother talks about her experience about working in the movie. USA Today reports:

AP: How does "Spider-Man 3" compare to other films you've done?

Howard: It is supersized. Literally I would walk around the Sony lot ... and they took over the entire lot practically. I was really surprised because when I was on set with (Director) Sam (Raimi) and all the other actors, it felt so intimate and fun and playful. Then when I finally saw the movie I remembered again, "God this is such a big movie." I cant believe it, because it didn't seem like a high-pressure situation. It seemed really relaxed and cool and like we were just making this movie.

AP: Are you a fan of superhero films?

Howard: I was really into this franchise in particular because although it is obviously this big film and there are these huge action sequences that are absolutely terrifying, it really is, at the end of the day, just a great character piece. Sam creates these really complex characters and there's a lot of humor in it as well. It's very, very funny, so it's an incredibly balanced film. It's terrifying, it's hilarious, it's emotional, it's beautiful.

AP: Are you at the point yet where you're giving your dad advice?

Howard: Oh God, no. Are you crazy? All the time I come up with these weird ideas or theories. I have all these theories about the industry or the future of storytelling, that kind of thing, so I'll talk to him about that, but no, that man needs no advice from me, trust me.

AP: Does he give you a lot of advice?

Howard: No, he's really great in that way. I mean, I ask him for advice sometimes, but he never gives unsolicited advice. He's always kind of letting us -- myself and my siblings -- find our own way, make our own mistakes and come to our own conclusions. He's pretty much the ideal parent.

According to the comic book, Gwen and Peter knew each other since high school. She was the beauty queen in high school. Peter went to study biochemistry in Empire State University and Gwen also got admitted there sometimes later. However, Gwen’s appears at a very later stage in the Spider- Man movie series. Sam was not interested to bring in the character but at the request of the producer he introduced Gwen. So far, the movie has done spectacular business around the world. I hope the audience also liked Gwen.
