I hope not, that's one of the best casting choices I've ever seen in a comic book film. Don't think they could find someone else to do a better job.

To me he is J.Jonah. I would usually side with Ed Asner but he's done so many characters. J.K. has the look down to perfection and mannerisms.

That scene in 3, I think, where he's trying to take his medication and the desk keeps jumping cracks me up every time. If I were heavily medicated and that happened to me it'd probably make me madder.

Hhaa I barely remember 3 except the scene where he starts fighting with the little kid about the camera hahah. "WHERE'S PARKER?"

and his moment in 2 where he's running around in Spidey's costume.

$100?! That's outrageous! Where's the film?!
Film's extra.

J.K. Simmons was perfectly cast as J. Jonah Jameson. I wish both he and Dylan Baker would return. And Bruce Campbell, though I doubt any of them will.

I remember an interview in which J.K. Simmons said he would return if the movie seemed good even with out Raimi et al. Baker just deserves to come back; reminds me of Billy Dee Williams playing Harvey Dent in hopes of playing Two-Face.

God I hope not. Quite frankly he IS the character. Some actors can be replaced but I have a strong indication that I don't think anyone can play this character as good as he has this past decade.

Darkhawk9587 · 03-10-2010, 05:36 PM

I've been thinking about the whole J.K. Simmons thing. I wonder if J. Jonah Jameson will even factor into the series. I mean, they say it's supposed to be more focused on the high school years, and correct me if I am wrong, but Parker didn't work for Jameson until in college (?).

Well not unless Parker doesn't get involved with Jameson but the character still exists in the story.

The Daily Bugle has to be there, someone has to report and bash Spidey.

Adegan · 03-10-2010, 06:00 PM

In the Ultimate Universe, which by earlier reports looks to be the direction they are going, Peter works maintaining the Daily Bugle's website instead of being a photographer. It's sort of an after school job and also helps him be informed of any criminal activity in the city.

+1 That was a good little change from the origins.

Yeah, J.K. Simmons embodies the character much like how Michael Gough WAS Alfred, he just was.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES! I was a little disappointed that they didn't bother bringing Gough back. He was what I though of Alfred. When I think of Caine I think of him saying, "NEVA"

Though I don't agree with that type of job. I've known Peter Parker has a photographer for my entire life and the reason he's so successful at it because he can take pictures of himself. It's cool, doesn't need to be changed.

I liked what the movie did and got rid of the cartridges. It would be too much of a pain in the ass for him to reload and where would he get strong webbing. I don't like the Ultimate universe that much. It's yawn. I loved their Green Goblin though.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be a photographer in the movie but he could work for the Daily Bugle in high school.

"No sir the OTHER CAR." -Alfred

I think they should have the first 10 minutes be high school and then he graduates and goes to college sort of like the first movie.

WHAT WOULD THE KATHRYN BIGELOW'S SPIDEY WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE

Didn't know about that.

Here is more:

Quote:

We just learned that Kathryn Bigelow passed on the chance to direct the 2012 Spider-Man reboot. What the would The Hurt Locker director's take on Peter Parker have looked like? We're picturing tense bomb-defusing scenes. And surfer slang, brah!

As The L.A. Times reported yesterday, the Best Director-winning Bigelow turned down the new, gritty Spider-Man flick, which was eventually taken up by (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb.

What would a Bigelow-helmed Spider-Man look like. Well, if we use her past films as a template, it would be a cinematic masterpiece. Dream with us...

Script for SPIDER-MAN: NOBODY RIDES FOR FREE

Directed by KATHRYN BIGELOW

CAST
Logan Lerman as PETER PARKER/SPIDER-MAN
Taylor Lautner as MATT "FLASH" THOMPSON
Keanu Reeves as MICHAEL MORBIUS/MORBIUS THE LIVING VAMPIRE
Ralph Fiennes as DOCTOR OTTO OCTAVIUS/DR. SQUID
Jeremy Renner as NITRO, THE LIVING BOMB
Jenette Goldstein as AUNT MAY
Gary Busey as UNCLE BEN
Soundtrack by TANGERINE DREAM

SYNOPSIS
It is December 31, 1999. Peter Parker is the Amazing Spider-Man, a brave but reckless superhero. Parker feels responsible for the death of his Uncle Ben, who died in a bank robbery. Spiderman's devil-may-care attitude has caused a great deal of property damage, leading his best friend Matt "Flash" Thompson - the only person to know Peter's secret - to become an FBI informant. Flash is Midtown High's star quarterback with a NCAA offer to play at Ohio State, but Flash will lose his scholarship if he does not cooperate with FBI Agent Michael Morbius.

Unbeknownst to Flash, Morbius is a centuries-old vampire from the antebellum South. His actually goal is to turn Parker into an unkillable Spider-Vampire who will quash the insurgency in Iraq. Meanwhile, cyberpunk criminal Dr. Otto Octavius (a.k.a. "Dr. Squid") has been killing prostitutes and selling VR snuff discs to high-schoolers. Dr. Squid is an ex-submarine captain who runs his operation from a submersible hidden in the East River.

SCENE #1:

[PETER and UNCLE BEN are waiting in line at a bank. UNCLE BEN is reading a newspaper.

UNCLE BEN: Hahaha! This Calvin and Hobbes is funny! Peter, it's time for lunch!

Without a doubt it's a joke Idioteque, it's clearly meant as speculation style satire.
