McSweeneys has posted the screenplay that Michael Chabon (“The Yiddish Policemans Union”) wrote for Spiderman 2. Ultimately he got only a story co-credit along with Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, with sceenplay credit going to Alvin Sargent and source material credits to Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. If you’re curious, you can see Chabon’s Spiderman 2 version here. (I’m not sure how long it will be up on that site, so if it’s gone by the time you click—sorry!)
