Venom: The Movie?!

[Fugitoid Jones]

I'm not expecting anything good to come out of this but one could hope it turns out well, I'd very much so enjoy a good Venom movie. If their smart though they'd make it rated R but if they did that then all the 12 year olds couldn't go see it and that's who this stuff is marketed at. Though in 300's case it worked so maybe.

Yeah, but 300 was aimed at a totally different audience. All the kids that saw Spider-Man 3 will know who Venom is and want to see that movie, and Marvel isn't going to miss an opportunity to rack in some major dough from the kids just to make an R rated film to please the older fanboys.

I'm sorry, but everyone who wishes for an R rated Venom movie will probably be dissapointed. Marvel is making these movies more for making a profit than pleasing a comparatively small fanboy audience.

My point with 300 was despite being rated R and aimed at adults tons of kids went and saw it anyways and it still made a crap load of cash. But yeah like I said in my other post I agree that I doubt it will get an R rating.

They should make a movie about Toxin instead. He rules. Coolest-looking symbiote ever.

Toxin is... endearing, but they'd have to fix the story and get a better villain than what we saw in that six-issue run.

And I don't think "R" is inappropriate for a Venom movie. Considering he's a very dark character, it would make sense...

Then again, Fugitoid Jones has a point about $$$. Venom's fanbase isn't nearly as large as Spidey's -- they go with R, they restrict that many more viewers from going to see the movie (in theaters). I know some parents brought their four-year-olds with them to 300, but a considerable portion of parent movie-goers would never consider it. Yeah, I'm already disappointed.
