> Spider-Man was a planned, but ultimately failed film was to be directed by James Cameron in the mid 1990's.
> The "scriptment" told the Spider-Man origin, but used variations on the comic book characters Electro and Sandman as villains. This "Electro" was a megalomaniacal parody of corrupt capitalists. Instead of Flint Marko's character, Cameron’s "Sandman" is mutated by an accident involving Philadelphia Experiment-style bilocation and atom-mixing, in lieu of getting caught in a nuclear blast on a beach. The story climaxes with a battle atop the World Trade Center and had Peter Parker revealing his identity to Mary Jane Watson.
>In addition, the treatment was also heavy on profanity, and had Spider-Man and Mary Jane having sex on the Brooklyn Bridge.
> Leonardo DiCaprio as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Arnold Schwarzenneger as Otto Octavius/Dr. Octopus, Robyn Lively as Mary Jane Watson, R. Lee Emery as J. Jonah Jameson, Lance Henricksen as Carlton Strand/Electro, Michael Biehn as Boyd/Sandman.
> Several plot element from Cameron's scriptment were kept by David Koepp in his script for the 2002 film Spider-Man.
Would it have been kino?

This was the only part that got me excited. Still sounds better than what we got in the past 5 years from Sony

Could've been good but I'm glad Raimi ended up doing it instead.

Sounds really cool. But I can't see DiCaprio wanting to be in a super hero movie. He seems to always want to be in serious oscar like movies. I do like the idea though, and bet it would've been a great movie.
Still glad we got Raimi's version though

Dicaprio only got Oscar-hungry in his old age. At the height of his late 1990's teen pretty boy heartthrob phase he'd do it in a heartbeat.

I wonder with the breakthroughs in special effects that made the T-1000 possible, it does open the curiosity as to how they would have gone about doing Sandman.
I feel like it would have been a great technical feat of a film back in the mid 1990s. Cameron being the pioneer that he is in special effects I have no doubt it would have overhauled a lot of special effects work at the time.
