With two of his men in tow, Sharp sets up a safe house with the young women and moves in to provide protection. With the girls identified as possible witness, the killer has to kill them to tie up all the loose ends a fact that Sharp is all too aware of. His only witnesses are a set of high-school cheerleaders whom claim to be able to identify the killer despite none of them being able to agree on the description. And I’m like ‘Are you kidding? This thing could be worth, I don’t know, a billion dollars!’ $10 billion later.Texas Ranger Roland Sharp always gets his man but on this occasion the pursuit of his subject sees his partner shot, his man murdered and the killer on the run. He didn’t want to get into a legal fight over it. "Peter Chernin just wouldn’t go to bat for it. "I tried to get Fox to buy it, but apparently the rights were a little bit clouded and Sony had some very questionable attachment to the rights and Fox wouldn’t go to bat for it," Cameron explained. He attempted to save it by going to 20th Century Fox and telling them to pick it up, but they didn't want to get into a fight with Sony who, "had some very questionable attachment to the rights."

And then all of sudden it was a free ball. So, when I found out it was at Cannon, I got Carolco to buy it, and then Carolco went bankrupt.

Nobody had ever thought of Spider-Man, I think, as a movie at all.

"Marvel had sold it to Cannon, Cannon was this low-budget kind of piece-of-junk outfit and they never made it or knew how to make it. "It basically got caught in a crunch where Carolco, the company that I had requested buy the rights, it was languishing, you know," Cameron said. Unfortunately for Cameron and all of us, his version of Spider-Man was never to be. I think it would have been a fun film to make.” I wanted to ground it in reality and ground it in a kind of universal human experience. He turns into this kid with these powers and he has this fantasy of being Spider-Man, and he makes this suit and it’s terrible, and then he has to improve the suit, and his big problem is the damn suit. Or Superman and the Daily Planet and all that sort of thing, where it always felt very kind of metaphorical and fairytale-like. So you’re in a real world, you’re not in some mythical Gotham City. “Superheroes in general always came off as kind of fanciful to me, and I wanted to do something that would have been more in the vein of Terminator and Aliens, that you buy into the reality right away. "I wanted to make something that had a kind of gritty reality to it,” Cameron shared. And it was also in my mind, it was a metaphor for puberty and all the changes to your body, your anxieties about society, about society’s expectations, your relationships with your gender of choice that you’re attracted to, all those things.”Ĭameron's Spider-Man film would have had "a kind of gritty reality to it," and he wanted the story to take place in the "real world" as opposed to something "mythical" like Gotham City.
"The whole super power thing was, in my mind, a great metaphor for that untapped reservoir of potential that people have that they don’t recognize in themselves.
"So it was a great metaphor," Cameron said.
This new take on Spider-Man would also be, according to Cameron, a "great metaphor for that untapped reservoir of potential that people have that they don't recognize in themselves." He’s kind of geeky and nobody notices him and he’s socially unpopular and all that stuff,'" Cameron shared. He goes by Spider-Man, but he’s not Spider-Man. The first thing you got to get your mind around is, it’s not Spider-Man. "Going with the biological web shooters as being part of his biological adaptation to the radioactive spider bite made sense to me and I checked with Stan, I said, ‘Look, this kid is Spider-Kid. While this isn't news in itself and has been known for some time, it's always great to hear Cameron's perspective on his idea that would eventually find its way into the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy. He obviously went to Stan Lee with a plan in place, and one of the biggest changes to Spider-Man from the comics that he wanted to make was to give Peter Parker biological web shooters. "The treatment that I wrote – with Stan Lee’s blessing I want to say – Stan and I got to be pals around that process, it was one of his personal favorite characters, and I didn’t make a move without asking him permission." "I think it would’ve been very different," Cameron said.
