Bryce Compares 'Eclipse' Fandom To 'Spider-Man':

Before "Twilight" rocked the tween world, you wouldn't typically think of 12-year-old girls and their mothers being the base of a film fandom. In fact, five years ago, it would have been an easy claim to make that Spider-Man has a more rabid fanbase than any vampire (even Dracula or Angel) could hope to amass.
Obviously, that is not the case anymore, and Bryce Dallas Howard — who has worked on both the "Spider-Man" and "Twilight" film franchises — was quick to address how the tide has turned.

"People, myself included, have stayed up at night reading the ['Twilight'] books over and over and over again, and watching the films over and over and over again, and really loving it so, so intensely. Whereas 'Spider-Man,' people are sentimental about it, they love it and are into it and that kind of stuff," she said about the different types of fans. "['Twilight'] is passionate."
Bryce said she felt even more pressured to not let fans down because the character of Victoria had already been established by Rachelle Lefevre. "It's so important to honor that in terms of the storytelling," Bryce said. "When I do a film, I always have all these questions that I'm asking myself, and [for Victoria] someone has mastered that and answered all those questions. Why reinvent the wheel? She created an incredible character."
Now that — spoiler alert — Victoria is dead, Bryce doesn't have to stress about her work with Victoria because her job is done. As for any other "Twilight" actors getting to deal with the "Spider-Man" fanbase, we hope that crossover won't happen any time soon.
