While a lot of fans are understandably sceptical about Venom, there's no denying that seeing Tom Hardy play these characters promises to be a great deal of fun. I say "characters" because his performances as Eddie Brock and Venom looks set to be very different indeed. Now, a new featurette has been released shedding some light on that and featuring new behind the scenes footage.
"Tom voices the character at all times, and that vocal performance is so rich and so characterful that we have plenty to start working with straightaway," explained VFX supervisor Paul Franklin when IGN visited the set of the Marvel Comics adaptation in San Francisco. "So we’re capturing Tom’s physical performance, and that, in turn, is also informing what’s going on with the digital character."
Oliver Scholl, Venom's production designer, adds: "[Tom is] trying out different versions of what he could be saying, thinking, how the interaction would be. Interaction is the wrong word, because he’s interacting with himself. [It’s] Tom finding Venom, or trying to find him inside him, like, bringing him out and playing this schizophrenic personality, and I think it’s a very different tone." Sounds decent!
