JK Simmons Returning for ‘Spider-Man 4’

J. Jonah Jameson is back, folk! Â  In a recent sit-down with MTV, JK Simmons officially confirmed that he would be reprising his role as the publisher of the Daily Bugle. Â  Simmons’ return to the franchise was pretty much assumed, but no official confirmation has come our way until this.

“We’ve definitely brainstormed ideas for Triple-J, but I have no desire to make Triple-J more of the focus of those movies,† Simmons said. “The amount that I did in 1, 2 and 3, is just exactly right. Like be the wolf. Come in, blow in, do a week, blow out, be the comic relief, and hit the road. And let Tobey and everybody else do the heavy lifting.†

Also confirmed in the article is the fact that ‘Spider-Man 4’ would be shooting in 2010 for a May 2011 release.

What do you think? Â  Is it great that Simmons is coming back for this? Â  Are you a little leery about a new ‘Spider-Man’ after the last debacle? Â  Any chance Kirsten Dunst sits this one out? Â  Let us know by commenting below!

Don’t Mess with the Dunst … or else!

This is classic-style, great “I think I’m better than I actually am news” coming from the set of the upcoming comedy  ‘How to Lose Friends and Alienate People’. Personally, I applaud Young  but kind of wish he’d stuck to his guns. Dunst, in my opinion, is not very talented. I also disagree that ‘HTLFAAP’ is a Dunst films… it is definitely a Simon Pegg film that Dunst just happens to have  [unfortunately] been cast in as well.

[Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst banned a writer from the set of her new movie after he allegedly criticised her acting ability. British novelist Toby Young wrote the book on which the actress’s new film – How to Lose Friends + Alienate People – is based, and visited the set on several occasions. And on his second visit, Young made comments regarding Dunst’s performance to a producer – and it led to the actress asking movie bosses to bar him from the studio.

Young says, “She overheard me giving the producer a .note. on her performance in a particular scene. At the time, I didn’t think of it as a criticism, more as a helpful bit of advice, and the producer took it in that spirit.”

“But Kirsten overheard this exchange and interpreted it as a complaint about her acting ability. It was after this, apparently, that she took Bob (Weide, the director) to one side and asked if I could be kept at arms length in future.

“Bob carried out this edict with a good deal of tact. I didn’t realise it, but this was, in effect, Bob carrying out Kirsten’s instructions.”] — IMDB.com (from Wenn.com)
