World What would James Cameron's Spider-Man look like?

[Spider-Aziz]

We're talking about James Cameron's Spider-Man, not Peter David. The first movie did rip-off some of James Cameron's script.

I didn't move off-course, just asking if it was inspiration

 

[DaCage]

I wish he made the movie

Would've set a whole new bar for superhero movies in the 90's IMHO. Leo would've been the bomb as Peter.

Wonder why change the characters of Sandman and Electro that way

I'm gonna assume that Stan Lee would've urged him to change the names when he read the script.

Also, what do you think of my cast?

I think they are solid. I agree, I would have loved to see Dicaprio as Spidey.

Leo as Peter is such a missed oppurtunity as Mel Gibson as Batman.

I would have liked to have seen Jake G as PP/SM in Spidey 2.

I would've loved that. I wonder if he ever screentested, they should release to online. Same for Leo if he ever screentested.

I can't say I have anything to say about the cast, need to see them in the roles

 

[Green Goblin]

I thought the villains were Sandman and Electro but on that poster it has Green Goblin.

Noticed that, raises questions

 

[Lord]

Maybe James Cameron was the one who changed the villains to Green Goblin before leaving

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I'm willing to think his movie would have been better than any of the movies we got

You didn't like Sam Rami's Spider-Man?

I like all 4 of the Spidey films (SM2 is my least favorite, but I like it too), but none of them is really that great tbh

The whole idea with Liz Allen and Doc Ock as the villain wasn't from Cameron. When Cameron was suppose to do X-Men with Chris Claremont, James Cameron left in favor to do Spider-Man because Stan Lee offered it to him. I think Caroclo had the rights at the time, they pretty much wrote their own little script and credited Cameron as a writer, I although he had nothing to do with it. I mean, this is the same guy who did Terminator 2 and Aliens. I'm assuming that eventually, he realized that the script was a giant piece of ****, so he wrote his own "scriptment" with Electro and Sandman as the villains. A better movie, but back then...it could've been a masterpiece for the 90's.

Tell me more about that book. Do they talk about Cameron's movie? It sounds exactly like what the writers wrote for it.

I've only read the first two stories in the book, the first being about Doc Ock and Spider-Man's origin, and the second story which takes place during the events of Amazing Spider-Man #7. There are some stories featuring Sandman, Venom, Lizard, and much more, so when I get further into it I'll describe them later on.

We're talking about James Cameron's Spider-Man, not Peter David. The first movie did rip-off some of James Cameron's script.

I wouldn't necessarily call that a "rip-off," but rather an inspiration. There were many, many drafts written for the first Spider-Man film, all of which borrowed some elements from each other.

Who do you have there as MJ and Sandman?

Nikki Cox is MJ. I assumed that Cameron was going to use her as MJ, she has a cameo in T2. Sandman is being played by Lance Henriksen, a frequent collaborator with Cameron.

Also, that pic with Green Goblin is fan-made. I think Green Goblin was rumored to be the villain then so they put him on the poster. The villains were set to be Electro and Sandman.

Based on what I've heard, it sounds like the Cameron Spider-Man film would have been really good at the time with special effects and all, but it would have felt very 90s.

SM1 only feels dated because of its effects, but everything else holds up well IMO.

Yes!! That was what I was trying to emphasize from before. In the 90's, Spider-Man would've been a masterpiece. The special effects would've been totally out of its time. It would've set a whole new standard for CBMs, after Batman Forever and Batman and Robin...it seemed like all hope was lost.

I really would have loved to see what Cameron's Spider-Man would have been like to be honest. Does anyone know if his script is online somewhere? I was only able to find the Doc Ock one.

Is this the one? This is a really good script, despite the dark atmosphere. It would've been nice to see a darker and edgier superhero movie in the 90's after Batman And Robin?

Thank you, that should be it I think (I'm assuming that's real).
