Emma Stone believes 'Bridesmaids' has opened the door for more female-led comedy movies.

The 'Easy A' actress believes the film – about a single woman who finds it hard to come to terms with her best friend's engagement – is a great opportunity to readjust how studios look at women-oriented projects.

She said: "They are saying, ‘Look what happened with ‘Bridesmaids'.’ So there’s that instant like doors are opened. But also what’s so great about it is that is a great movie. It’s a great movie. It’s not just like, ‘Oh it did really well. It was a female-led movie but it did really well. That’s cool.’ It’s like that is a great movie!"

Emma recently completed shooting as Gwen Stacy in 'The Amazing Spider-Man' – a reboot of the franchise starring Andrew Garfield as the web-slinging hero – and she admits she loved it because it came from a realistic perspective.

She told Collider.com: "It was just like making any other movie where you’re just two human beings connecting. It was like that. It just happened to be set in a New York City where a guy runs around in a spandex suit and he just saves lives!"
