The giant mechanical spider in Wild Wild West was a calling card of producer Jon Peters, and was called to appear in not one, but two comic book adaptations that fell through. The first was the mythical "Superman Lives" which was set to star Nicholas Cage as Superman and Christopher Walken as Brainiac, culminating in Superman fighting a giant spider. That was in the early 90s. Then in the early 2000s, he attempted to produce a legendarily bad adaptation of The Sandman, that collapsed when Neil Gaiman leaked the proposed script online and it was ridiculed into oblivion.
