Sam Elliot & John Slattery In Talks To Play Jameson In 'Spider-Man'

Source: The Playlist

The Playlist reports that Sony is looking to cast the J. Jonah Jameson character for its new Spider-Man reboot, and a few names are already being thrown around. According to the source "dozens" of actors are trying to get on board the project for what is sure to be a meaty role, but John Slattery and Sam Elliot are of particular note.

Both actors are of the right age and hair color to play the corporate curmudgeon Jameson, who employs a young Peter Parker at his media conglomerate The Daily Bugle. J.K. Simmons nailed it this decade; I wonder whether anybody can come close to his loud, obnoxious and pitch-perfect performance.

Already cast are Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans. Marc Webb is directing from a script by James Vanderbilt. Filming will begin in Los Angeles in December for a July 3rd, 2012 release.

@ Josh: I loved JK Simmons, doubt anyone could nail it like he did. I'm a fan of House, so that is so hard. Still think they should get Simmons, but if he doesn't want to do it, they could try Hugh.

Agreed JingleBallz. If there was one thing that was absolutely perfect about the Toby McGuire films, it was JK Rowlings as Jameson.

Down with JK Simmons! Why change the perfect one?

I can't picture Sam Elliot AT ALL in this role!
If he's running around town who the hell needs Spider Man??

Green Goblin and Vulture starting trouble in the city??
*BAM* "I'm Sam Elliot bitches!"

I'm all for this reboot because I like seeing things re-envisioned and I'm about ready for another Spider-Man film. I was never a big fan of the original cast with the exception of J.K Simmons as Jameson. He was brilliant and perfect in every way possible and I'd like to see one person deny it. He is easily the hardest person to replace (Garfield can walk all over Mcguire's acting anyday). Still Slattery is a very good choice of an actor and could probably put on a unique spin to his character. I'm not a fan of the Sam Elliot idea. Slattery's got my vote.

@Muttonchops it's not Disney making the new movie it's still Sony and Columbia.

when you think about it it's like someone else trying to play the Joker in the next Nolan film.

I love John Slattery ( it's obvious.. look at my DP ) and I think he can pull it off perfectly.
Comment by Josh on October 28, 2010 at 6:09am
Bring Back JK Simmons!!! if not bring in Hugh Laurie!

Arnold Schwarzenegger was born to play The Terminator
Matt Damon was born to play Jason Bourne
J.K. Simmons was born to play Jameson
