Jake Johnson: A Seasoned, Relatable Peter Parker in "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"

Meet a new Peter Parker.

Actor Jake Johnson (New Girl, BoJack Horseman) lends his vocal talents to the role of Peter Parker in Columbia Pictures’ Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. But though this version may look like Peter, he is older and the years of superhero life have taken a toll on his body. His experiences have left him world-weary and cynical. Peter never wanted to be a mentor, but training Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) to be Spider-Man helps him to regain his original enthusiasm for that identity and reclaim the spirit of selflessness for which Spider-Man stands.


“I am a big fan of Peter Parker and love the Spider-Man world, but I thought this movie had a very original take on the superhero universe,” says Johnson. “Peter is now a 40-year-old guy who has had to watch his life fall on the wayside because he’s Spider-Man. The Peter Parker I play wears the familiar red and blue costume of the classic Spider-Man we all know and love. However, this Peter Parker is a bit older, more weary and full-bodied version of the character…He’s definitely a strong hero but his many years of saving the world have had an impact on him. You might say that the Spider-Verse Peter Parker is a more seasoned and relatable version of Spider-Man.”

Real-Life "Tag" Game Among Grown Men Inspires New Comedy

What if you never had to give up the games that you played as a kid?  The kind that kept you and your friends outside, way past sunset.  What if, as a grown up, you could keep the games going with your friends, forever?

In New Line Cinema’s “Tag,” five guys—despite age, geography, and adult circumstances like jobs, illness, marriage and children—manage to keep playing.  For the entire month of May every year, no matter what is on their plate, they revert to the antics that consumed them in grade school, when they first started chasing each other on the playground. Against all odds, they keep in touch. Letting themselves have fun and be childlike together, even if only once a year, actually makes them better friends and more responsible adults.

REEL DEAL: Suiting Up Fake Cops In Real Trouble In "LET'S BE COPS"

Real life buddies, Damon Wayans, Jr. and Jake Johnson find themselves playing real buddies in reel trouble when their onscreen characters in "Let's Be Cops" get tangled a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives where they must put their fake badges on the line and pin down the baddies who are after them.

Justin Miller (Damon Wayans, Jr.) and Ryan O’Malley (Jake Johnson) have been languishing since their school days ended. Justin toils at a videogame company, where his bosses prefer zombie antics instead of Justin’s recent game proposal that features real-life cops. Ryan, still reveling in his glory days as a college quarterback, bounces from job to job – his appearance in a herpes drug commercial was a career highlight – without success.

REEL DEAL: Faking It IN “LET’S BE COPS” Trailer And Poster Release

“Let’s Be Cops” is the ultimate buddy cop movie except for one thing: they're not cops.  When two struggling pals dress as police officers for a costume party, they become neighborhood sensations.  But when these newly minted “heroes” get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line.

Faking it real time, these fake cops have just found some real trouble.  Starring Damon Wayans Jr. and Jake Johnson,     The idea for the movie was born when director/co-writer Luke Greenfield decided to spend Halloween in a police officer’s uniform – a choice that had unexpected consequences.

“My costume designer at the time got me a real LAPD uniform and my buddy and I walked around Los Angeles,” Greenfield remembers. “The sense of power and authority was incredible. I was single at the time, and it became quite easy to talk to women on the street.”

With co-writer and executive producer Nicholas Thomas, Greenfield developed the pitch that was to become LET’S BE COPS. “We came up with the idea quite quickly,” says Thomas. “We pitched the project to 20th Century Fox, and it sold.”
