Unfortunately, as well as never coming to fruition, it seems the project caused some unintended issues elsewhere while it was in development. It was set to be an R-rated adventure that would have all the hallmarks of a James Cameron action spectacular. Just imagine what the king of the box office could have done with a Spider-Man movie. Unfortunately, the whole thing fell apart in 1995 when Carolco, the independent studio behind Cameron's mega-hit "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," and rights-holders to a Spider-Man movie, went bust. The director went as far as producing a "scriptment" (script and treatment combined) which has since found its way online. Yes, before Sam Raimi introduced us all to Tobey Maguire's Spidey in 2002 and set the standard for Spider-Man films going forward, James Cameron almost made his own web-slinging blockbuster.
