According to the Hollywood Reporter, the folks over at Sony are starting to move forward with a Venom movie. After the success of The Dark Knight, they see an opening for a movie based on a villian. And with the Spider-Man movies hanging in limbo right now, this seems like a good movie. Actually, even if the Spider-Man movies weren’t on hold this sounds like a great idea! Venom has been one of my favorite comic book villians since as far back as I can remeber, and to see him get his own movie would be pretty cool. And get this, Topher Grace may not reprise the role that he brought to the big screen in Spider-Man 3. The studio isn’t sure if he can hold an entire movie on his own and lots of people are requesting the part, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
There was a draft of a script already written, but Sony apparently wanted to take the movie in a different direction and are now looking for someone else to pen a draft, so it could still be awhile until we see/hear anything new, but at least it sounds like they are moving forward and hopefully we’ll get to see a Venom movie in the near future.

I heard this and it makes me a little bit nervous. Venom was not handled correctly in Spiderman 3 but to base a whole movie around a character that is both a villain and not a good guy seems a little tricky. Basically they want the audience to root for a homocidal killer and once whose toy in the 90s espoused the line, “I want to eat your brain Spiderman” I’d like to see them pull that off

I think they should consider Topher Grace at least for the Eddie Brock scenes. Special effects and CGI can handle all the Venom details.

Venom is not a homicidal killer, he’s a clever killer… not even a killer. Besides, it could turn out that the movie is about Brock’s later years when he becomes Anti-venom, or while he became a vigilante,or about him teaming up with Spiderman to stop and kill his crazy murderous homicidal offspring, Carnage. I think the movie will be awesome, should they do something where he can almost be perceived as the dark hero he was sometimes considered to be.

yea you’ve got a point there..I could deffinitly see that…venom and carnage in one movie…I wouldn’t be surprised if marvel films went in that direction…and they could have a little more dialogue in venoms parts because venom CAN talk you know…it’ll be a great movie..id say pg-13 but id like to see it go in a rated r direction.
