J. Jonah Jameson himself, J.K. Simmons, talks about the
future of the Spider-Man franchise, will Tobey and Sam come back?
{sidebar id=1}A few days ago, during a set visit for Dreamworks' comedy starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel I Love You Man, the IESB along with a handful of online journalists had the chance to talk to actor J.K. Simmons.
After a few questions regarding his current production, the IESB made sure to ask him the question on the minds of comic book fans everywhere, what is going on with the Spider-Man franchise?
To our surprise, J.K. had plenty to say including talking about a conversation he recently had with Tobey Maguire about future films.
IESB: So we know that James Vanderbilt just turned in a script for Spiderman 4 have they reached out to you yet or anything?
JK: We, sort of, check in once in a while, they say, yknow, we want JK to do it. We dont know where. We dont know when. We dont know who. We dont know anything, yknow? They signed all of us for the first three films. Sam, Tobey, all the way down the line to me and, well see where it goes. I also, I mean, it's all conjecture and you guys probably know more than I do at this point. There was talk of doing four and five concurrently and I dont know if theyre still considering that or not and, yknow, I spoke to Tobey in, I guess it was Februarysort of awards season time and, yknow, hes certainly amenable to doing some more and hopefully well be able to get everybody back and make another good one.
IESB: Or a couple of them?
JK: Couple, three, four, five! Whatever, you know, I could buy a bigger house.
IESB: What if Sam decides not to come back as a director but stays as a producer, would you guys still be-
JK: Well-
IESB: Would you and the rest of the gang still come back.
JK: Well, I can only speak for myself, but, if Sam were not the director but was, still had a hand in it then I would certainly have a reasonable amount of faith in it. You know? Obviously if hes the director Im there a 100%. If hes not involved at all, which I think is VERY unlikely, then it would be a situation that I would have to think about. But if hes involved, hopefully directing or at least as a producer then Im pretty confident that it would be something that I want to do. Plus they pay money.
Stay tuned to the IESB for the latest movie news.
