Inland Empire most of the scenes were made up on the day of. Terence Malick's movies from the last decade are usually scripted so he can get funding but he almost always jettisons them before actually filming.

e: Oh and Soderbergh's recent movie, Let Them All Talk. It's a bit more complex because they had an outline with scripted sections, had the cast improv in rehearsal, and turned that into the script.

It's a coincidence. Coppola is named after Henry Ford, who his father was friends with.

Interestingly though, Francis Ford was a pretty good silent film director (he transitioned fully to acting after sound) and was an enormous influence on John Ford. Like, the famous ending shot in The Searchers was swiped from Francis Ford's The Power God.

That’s a great example, thanks for reminding me of that. I wonder where that early teaser would’ve landed in the original script.

I don't think the teaser was actually supposed to be in the movie. It's not directed by Raimi and has a very different style than the rest of the film. There's two shots from it that got used in the movie, but from what I understand that was more of a budgetary thing (they exhausted the budget toward the end of production, which is why there's footage from Lucio Fulci's The Beyond for when Peter mutates from the spider bite).

The finale of the movie did get slightly re-shot after 9/11 but that was to add the New York rally ("you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!") right before Spider-Man fights the Green Goblin.
