It appears that the spiders supposed to fight The Sandman (new Netflix show) back in the day as well as revealed by Neil Gaiman.

There`s something about that spider walker that just makes it look believable. For example. The fact that the very tip of each leg contracts in when it touches the ground and the joints adjust to absorb the weight. The designers really took all the mechanical aspects into consideration.

It's from a story Kevin Smith told about a meeting he had with Jon Peters, a producer on the Wild Wild West movie, to write the screenplay for the movie Superman Lives that never got made. As Kevin was pitching his ideas for the movie, Peters told Kevin that he had three requirements for the movie: Superman couldn't wear his suit, he couldn't ever fly, and he had to fight a giant spider. Kevin thought the first two were obviously ridiculous, but he was curious about the third so he asked Jon Peters why Superman had to fight a giant spider, he said because spiders are the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom.

Yeah, and he looks back on that as being the worst decision he ever made in his career. At the same time, he thinks it worked out for the best because he thought Keanu was "brilliant" as Neo and that he would have messed up the role . Also, had he been cast in the role, the studio would have gone to Val Kilmer for Morpheus, which would have deprived audiences of Laurence Fishburne's iconic performance. So, even though Will admits it was a bad move, he doesn't necessarily regret it.

This movie is such a guilty pleasure.
