You're a trouble maker. My mom warned me about men like you.
She's what Juaquin Phoenix Joker's Harley would look like.

Cameron on his Spiderman project that never got made:
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. "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. Nobody had ever thought of Spider-Man, I think, as a movie at all. So, when I found out it was at Cannon, I got Carolco to buy it, and then Carolco went bankrupt. And then all of sudden it was a free ball.
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."
"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. "Peter Chernin just wouldn’t go to bat for it. He didn’t want to get into a legal fight over it. And I’m like ‘Are you kidding? This thing could be worth, I don’t know, a billion dollars!’ $10 billion later...”
Despite it never getting made, this attempt at making a Spider-Man film was an important learning experience for Cameron and pushed him even further in the direction of focusing on creating his own works as opposed to adapting others' creations.
"I’d also sort of made a decision after Titanic to just kind of move on and do my own things and not labor in the house of others’ IP," Cameron concluded. "So, I think that was probably the kick in the *** that I needed to just go make my own stuff.”

James Cameron Spiderman >>>>> Raimi Spidermn and MCU Spidey
James Cameron Spider-Man would be a blue collar grunt who uses a micro-exoskeleton 'walker' to aid in his super powers.
Cameron would have made an amazing Green Goblin though.

Cameron would have chosen a bland leading man that gets overshadowed by the rest of the cast, including MJ.

He said he came up with the organic shooter that Sony later used for Tobey.
Cameron is Dune lol
There is a podcast called Greatest Movies Never Made that covered all the Spiderman movies that never got made. They had Cameron's script did a summary of it and read parts of it. It's a good thing it never got made.

I have been currently just watching all the press interviews, rewatching the trailers and looking over the theater food menus just to pass times, read some leaks but nothing too eye opening, still avoiding some of the soundtrack so we will see currently 7 more days

Amy Pascal said Spiderman is all about Stan Lee 
Kevin immediately corrected her and said Stan Lee AND Steve Ditko!
She is a putz
