Sam Elliot And John Slattery In The Running For J Jonah Jameson In Spider-Man

there is two things they should keep from the original trilogy.

1.the spider-man costume
2.jk simmons

I agree with deadpool 72

@deadpool72

Right on. JK Simmons all the way!

DO NOT RECAST.

Elliot looks the part but man, his voice doesn't sound right for it. Simmons was fantastic as JJJ.

i wished they would just keep j.k simmons. those actors above dont even look the part.

JK Simmons or JoshW's idea.

i agree cant they keep simmons? he fit the part purfect!

JK Simmons is J. Jonah Jameson and Tobey Macguire is Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst is not MJ.
And once again here it is: Frick this reboot.

Slattery for our enevitably watered down JJ. It's the least they can do.

@ whiteharted

your right,alfred molina was awesome as dr.octopus.

we can save him as well,we'll need him if they decide to do a sinister six storyline.

@archangel - tobey "whiney crybaby" maguire was a terrible peter parker and spiderman

j.k simmons is Jonah.

@Whiteharted Well, if you believe in the whole "James Bond is a codename" theory, one could argue that it may not have been a true reboot, but more along the lines of Star Trek where it created a new universe but still acknowledged the old series.

I wish they wouldn't reboot it, but maybe it can't be helped. (I'm still gonna try to stop it with my own Spidey 4 script)

I agree, keep JK as JJJ. He was, and is, perfect.

Besides, both guys have had Marvel roles already. (Isn't this like, Sam Elliot's 3rd Marvel character?)

Thats the movie industry for ya.....instead of keeping the original cast and continuing the current storyline,(albeit, make the stories darker) lets throw money away on a way too early "reboot", recast everyone and pick up where we left off? Do I really need to see Peter get bit again? NOOO!! But what I do need is an extremely stomach aching performance when it comes to JJJ. The fact is, J.K. Simmons was the perfect balancing act to the always emotionally confused paring of McGuire and Dunst.

What they should do is forget all this reptillian BS and bring in Electro. Have him kill off MJ, Peter/Spiderman goes flippin berserk(and I mean B!-SERK), Gwen Stacey steps in as the new girlfriend whose on the outside looking in trying to become a part of Parkers life, constantly and clumsily getting in the way when he's Spiderman, which causes him to reveal himself, kicking her to the curb, thus bringing about Black Cat for spidey 5. All the while J.K. Simmons is keeping the fans rolling in the seats with his continued hatred for the friendly neighborhood webslinger..........

BTW...the lizard crap is already being done with "V". Do we need to have two CBM's running down the same road as primetime television? I think not. It's gonna look stupid. You might as well bring in Matthew Broderick and cgi Marlon Brando (again) and lets film a sequel to "The Freshman" at the same time.

@Jackwagon LMAO!!

there is no way they could keep the same cast,
for one tobey mugire was a crap spider-man, he just wasnt funny enough, and kirsten dunst wasnt good looking enough to be a MJ, in all honesty i thought topher grace( a terrible excuse for eddie brock/venom ) would have been far better.
garfield looks better for the role he is leaner and just plain old looks like peter parker more than tobey,
and as for JJJ it was one of those awe insipring casting decsions, its a pity they destroyed those movies.
THE REBOOT IS GOING TO BE GOOD, better than number 2 hmmmm but a vast improvement on 3, i will put money on that (albeit 3 quid.....still)

sorry for the double post

Sam Elliot is awsome but he ruins super hero movies for some reason. So i guess Id pick the other guy.

J.K. Simmons!!! I mean really will the average movie goer really be confused if he does the role and everyone else is the same.
