Earlier today over at McSweeney's, we downloaded what's reportedly author Michael Chabon's original screenplay for Spider-Man 2. Reworked, reconsidered and rewritten a few dozen times (by three other writers; Chabon got story credit) before making its way to the screen as Sam Raimi's blockbuster, the script features some of the moody, angsty masculine hallmarks threading the Pulitzer prize-winner's novels like Wonder Boys and The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. The skeptic in us has its doubts, but while we're still torn over the overwhelmingly pranky nature of Oliver Stone's W, we don't know who the hell else would have written 252 pages of fan fiction this dynamic or, well, literary. In any case, we have our weekend reading cut out for us. [Via Videogum]
