:I found this citation from Variety that might add more detail to the litigation process, but I'm worried about bogging down the production section with unnecessary information.  I guess I'm the kind to think, if it's useful, and meets all the policies' requirements, then include it.  I was originally using Access World News, but I actually found the free Business Week article by typing golan spider-man at Google Archive News Search.  Sometimes things there are free, and even if they're not, they can give you an idea of the timeline of a film project.  (I forgot to mention that I used it for the Black Panther film adaptation to figure out when dialogue about the adaptation began.) 

 :I guess to improve the article, we should re-structure it in accordance to the "best there is".  I have a subpage called  that shows a breakdown of the FA-class film articles by section titling and number of paragraphs per section/subsection.  I don't have a suggestion of where you could start, but I can give you Comics2Film, where you can start at the end and backtrack to the most recent information.  There may be broken links as you go through the pages, but you could detect certain keywords and put them through AWN or Google Archive News to see what comes up.  The Business Week citation in the article confirms Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio as previous considerations for the role of Spider-Man, so that's a valid piece of information right there.  You could also go through the trivia page for Spider-Man at IMDb, as not everything is wrong there.  I actually found keywords that helped me shape the production history a little better.  You could search for keywords like the names of people who "supposedly" tried out for film's roles, like Mena Suvari for Mary Jane Watson, see what comes up.  Lots that can be done. 

 :Also, I'm sure actual production information could be found on DVD commentaries, which wouldn't be accessible by me being deaf.  If someone in our circle can check out the commentary and cite it accordingly (like Ace did with the Influences section at Batman Begins), I'm sure we could flesh out the actual production further. —  •  -
