Newsom recounts his work co-writing an unproduced Spider-Man screenplay for Cannon Films in the mid-1980s with partner John Brancato, detailing their Spidey-vs.-Doc-Ock story rooted in Stan Lee's outline. He traces the project's collapse through a succession of rewrites (including a disastrous pass by Menahem Golan), corporate upheaval at Cannon, the diversion of resources to Superman IV and Masters of the Universe, and the rights eventually landing with Golan's 21st Century Films. He also discusses his unproduced Sub-Mariner script for New World Pictures and his current low-budget filmmaking work.
