Blast From The Past: James Cameron's Spider-Man Script Treatment
The original "scriptment" for Spider-Man by James Cameron from 1992 was placed online a while back. But it's a lazy Sunday evening and ripe for revisiting, along with Neal Adams-esque storyboard pages that accompany it, in both English and Italian versions, courtesy of one Daniel Tomasi.
We get movie versions of Elektro and Sandman, Spidey's refusal to join their criminal cartel, and the subsequent funding of J Jonah Jameson's war against Spider-Man. The language is rather fruity too, a "shit" here and there without so much as a by-your-leave. Oh and lots of organic webshooters.
Oh and my favourite storyboard panel? The next one, depicting people claiming Spider-Man as one of theirs. So that's an Italian, a black and… a gay.
