Venom

Venom Venom is a fictional extraterrestrial life form appearing in Marvel Comics. The creature is a sentient alien Symbiote, with a gooey, almost liquid-like form, and requires a host to bond with for its survival. In return the Venom creature gives its host enhanced powers the most obvious of which are modelled after its first host (Spider-Man). Venom's first appearance in a motion picture was originally planned for a titular film written by David S. Goyer and produced by New Line Cinema, in which Venom would have been portrayed as an antihero and Carnage as the antagonist. Goyer said in an interview the film rights to Venom ultimately reverted to Sony. Venom appears as one of the main antagonists in the 2007 feature film Spider-Man 3, played by Topher Grace. In July 2007, Avi Arad revealed a spin-off was in the works. In September 2008, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese signed on to write, while Gary Ross will direct. Variety reported that Venom will become an anti-hero, and Marvel Entertainment will produce the film. With the aquisition of Marvel by Disney and the decision to reboot the Spider-Man franchise, plans for Venom have been on hold.
In an interview with Collider the Zombieland duo discuss their "realistic, grounded, dark" script for the Spider-Man spin-off which is unlikely to see the light of day. They also describe what would have been a pretty cool scene from the movie..
Flash Thompson As Venom? The Amazing Spider-Man actor Chris Zylka certainly hopes so. Which version will Sony ultimately go with, any Eddie Brock fans out there?
Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach have offered fans an update on Sony's Venom spin-off, confirming that it will feature Eddie Brock as the host of the symbiote, but may not be set in the same universe as Spider-Man's latest solo film even though they will "make sense with one another."
Chronicle director Josh Trank has signed on to helm a big screen adaptation of Sony's epic Shadow Of The Colossus video game. However, the same report mention that he's still working on Fantastic Four and Venom. Read on for details.
Sony wants Trank for Venom, Fox reportedly wants him for their Fantastic Four reboot, yet it look's like Warner Bros. has won the Josh Trank sweepstakes.
It looks just like eric foreman!!
With rumours surfacing that Josh Trank is in talks to direct a VENOM movie, I speculate about it's involvement, if any, to THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, and how the overall Spidey Franchise could develop.
In my latest editorial, I talk about the upcoming Venom film, a little backstory, how it should be done, and why I think there should be no Eddie Brock, or host for that matter.
These are my thoughts of the Venom movie and what needs to happen for it to be good.
Sounds like a strange question. After all, the more CBMs the better right? But the news that Josh Trank may helm the Spider-Man spin-off was met with a decidedly mixed reaction. Click to give your take..
It seems the Chronicle director will indeed be turning his attention to a CBM next, but not the Fantastic Four reboot. He will be sinking his teeth into Sony's long gestating solo Venom flick..
Remember when Venom used to be cool? Yeah, me too.
