[Rikirk]

I like this news...:tgrin:

So, what say ye fellow dromers, yea or nay on this idea?

[Slap-Happy]

Strange director choice, and I'm surprised this is still in development, but I would be up for it.

[Raph's Girl]

The Venom movie has been talked about for a couple years as that article states. I'll be surprised to see this even get off the ground.

[Magneto]

A Venom movie could be a bit tricky, but I'm sure making Eddie Brock a sympathetic character for audiences to identify with can be achieved. But much like Chronicle, I fully expect a certain tone to this movie. Definately not sunshine and flowers.

[ZariusTwo]

I just see it winding up like the Punisher flicks. All gore-fest eye candy, no substance. Venom is pretty generic without Eddie, and Eddie doesnt work without that burning hatred fro Spider-Man.

[Rikirk]

Well I have to admit, I did like those last two Punisher films, I even liked Ghost Rider and Fantastic four. Sure they werent perfect,...but at least having something and seeing the characters on screen has to count for something right. I even mildly liked Venoms portrayal in Spiderman 3.

Is it wrong?:tgrin:

So basically you just admited to liking a bunch of awful movies....how brave :P But then again the 3rd TMNT movie is my fave one so *shrugs*

And that really wasn't Venom in Spidey 3. He wasn't ever named. It was just a symbiotic creature that resembled venom somewhat.

That sounds way too much like fanboy denial. It was Venom. Eddie Brock was the name of the man who got the symbiote attached to him. Venom. No excuses. It was Venom.

[Jester]

Can we use that to explain away Spidey in 3... because I swear that wasn't Spider-man.

You know, if anyone really hated 3 or any (or all) of that trilogy, just say it was all fabricated by Mysterio; just an illusion.

[Rikirk]

Fabricated by Mysterio huh? So it was all a sort of mass halucination?

Y'know,...thats one of the most clever explanations Ive ever heard. At least I have yet to hear that the Toby McGuire portrayal was perpetrated by a clone.

;):lol::lol:

[Jester]

Thanks, that'll work!

[oldmanwinters]

Ah, and now Venom joins Deadpool and Magneto as Marvel characters who are "supposed" to get their own movie. Good luck with that, Eddie.

If a Venom movies get made, I see it being a fringe film that even Marvel won't try too hard to promote.

[Jester]

At least Deadpool and Magneto could pull their own movie. A Venom movie sans Spider-man seems silly.

[Magneto]

A studio mandated symbiote that just added to the surfeit of subplots found in Spider-Man 3.

[Cowabunga Carl]

I don't want a Venom movie, not yet at least. With a new Spider-man universe being established in this new movie I'd like to see that one build for a little bit. Then introduce Venom again in a Spider-man film. Get that establishment and then work his way into his own movies. Venom had a lot of interesting solo comics, but what makes his character is his connection to Spider-man.

It seems silly to do a Venom movie if it's connected to the old trilogy. It would gum up ever using him in the new movies should there be more.

Talking to Hollywood.com, The Amazing Spider-Man producers Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach have revealed that while there may be connections between that and the Venom spin-off, they won't necessarily share the same world. "Look for the worlds to make sense with one another," teases Tolmach. "What I'm trying to say to you without giving anything away is hopefully all these worlds will live together in peace someday." So, it sounds like there MIGHT be a chance of the two characters crossing paths, although it surely won't make sense unless the villain is first introduced in a Spider-Man sequel. The site adds that it will not have any links to the version of Eddie Brock introduced in Spider-Man 3.

"It's an Eddie Brock story," said Arad. "We want to be as close to the comics as possible. Especially in Eddie Brock's story. But again, pseudo-sceince is becoming science. All these tidbits about webs, artificial webs, is a huge industry now. Spiderwebs have unique qualities that will be huge for communications, fibers, and so forth. So we have taken the approach that we want to make the huge amazing movie about Eddie." Tolmach adds, "He was a journalist. He had the wrong story, he got in trouble for it, he got fired. The whole essence to us for the Marvel characters. Stay close to the bible, stay close to the emotional story, and the rest is fun."

I have no idea what those guys are talking about on this point. Are they claiming somebody has already invented wrist bands that shoot fiber strong spider-like webbing?

[eddski]

Josh Trank would portray eddie brocks struggle and internal battles perfectly if he made it anything like chronicle. Josh would recreate moments of eddie brock **** scared of the alien symbiote but not wanting to part with it at the same time and then the moment of acceptance and realising the power he has. Or just give Josh trank the akira remake :trazz:

Today was the press junket for The Amazing Spider-Man and we had an exclusive interview with producers Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach. We’ll have the full interview for you and more before Amazing Spidey opens July 3, but some breaking news came out of the conversation. In fact, when we asked Arad and Tolmach their thoughts on Spider-Man 3 (more in the full interview), they started talking plans for a Venom movie, which Tolmach describes as a “cousin to Spider-Man.”

A Venom movie would make Eddie Brock the hero. It won’t be until he crosses paths with Peter Parker that he becomes a villain.

“As you know, Venom is defender of the innocent,” Arad said. “The only guy he really, really hates is Peter Parker, Spider-Man. The reason you didn’t see more development on Venom in the comics is because this power that he was given, he knew who Peter was, he knew who Spider-Man was, so go kill him already. We always struggle with storylines and you see the new Venom books. It’s Flash in Iraq. We know that if we put him in a certain position and concentrate on the human, not on the creature, which I thought was a really good beginning in 3.”

They do know fans weren’t happy with Spider-Man 3 and I pressed them on Venom and Emo Peter Parker. Tolmach acknowledges they may have given Venom short shrift, so now he’ll get his very own movie.

“The truth is he also deserves his own movie,” Tolmach said. “We’ve been sitting around in a room talking about Venom stories and it’s a really full bodied complicated character, Eddie Brock and this character. Maybe people feel there wasn’t enough of a chance to unravel it, but we’re all in on him.”

So would the plan be to merge this Venom with Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man in a later movie? “All things are possible someday,” Tolmach carefully implied, which come on, almost definitely means they haven’t signed the contracts yet but are planning it.
