James Cameron Doesn't Want Spider-Man
Sat, January 16, 2010
When Bay's "Transformers" crushed the box office fans went crazy and wanted him to take on "Superman". Now that James Cameron's "Avatar" is breaking records at the box office fans have been throwing his name around for the "Spider-Man" reboot. In an exclusive with MTV, Cameron ends the debate once and for all.
"No, no," Cameron told MTV News when asked if he'd been approached for the "Spider-Man" job. "It's a little bit sloppy seconds, let's face it."
"I haven't gotten a phone call," said Cameron. "I don't expect to — certainly [not] after this interview. But if you're thinking about it, it's sloppy seconds. I'm not interested."

He can copy other people's stories for his own original ideas than sloppy seconds. Go, Cameron!
dont be angry that he doesnt want spiderman now he he .
Refresh my memory. Wasn't there a leaked treatment he did for a proposed Spider-man movie in the early nineties.... and wasn't it garbage?
it was bad ;)
I'm glad, because I want him to direct Battle Angel next.
Only a crazy nerd thought that he was going to direct the soon to be disasterous reboot.

The plan was that Movie Moan would move over to IESB with Jamie and myself and a new podcast would debut on TMT.
We'll keep you posted.
To add to the above comment DB.
We recorded a show yesterday afternoon. Jamie, Phil, Lou, and myself.
And it was a good one too; can't wait to share it with you folks.
