Title: Because Sony Hates us Post by: Velorath on July 31, 2008, 12:01:50 PM Sony is developing a Venom movie. (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=47458)
Quote Sony is moving forward with Venom, a potential "Spider-Man" spinoff, says The Hollywood Reporter. The trade says the studio is developing the project, based on the villain who appeared in Spider-Man 3 and is hoping the character could serve as an antidote to the aging "Spider-Man" franchise in the way that Fox has used Wolverine to add longevity to its "X-Men" franchise. The studio had commissioned a draft of the script from Jacob Estes (Mean Creek), but the studio is considering going in a different direction from Estes' script and is seeking writers for a new draft. Casting also is no simple matter. Topher Grace played the character in the film, but agents have been eyeing the role for their clients, as Sony is not yet convinced the actor can carry a tentpole picture. The Hollywood Reporter adds that neither Sony nor Marvel would comment for the story. Sony is also still developing a fourth "Spider-Man" film for 2011.

Title: Re: Because Sony Hates us Post by: tazelbain on July 31, 2008, 01:02:55 PM Venom will be thwarted by the Hero "PS3" with his "Blue Ray".
Title: Re: Because Sony Hates us Post by: Evildrider on July 31, 2008, 03:45:58 PM I wonder if this will be the "hero" type Venom. Otherwise the only real story I see them doing is with Carnage.

Title: Re: Because Sony Hates us Post by: rk47 on August 03, 2008, 05:34:14 AM A comic supervillain movie? Is that a first? It's a poor choice still. :ye_gods:

It's a poor choice still. :ye_gods: Agreed, I'd rather they get that damn Deadpool movie going. At least Ryan Reynolds is playing him in the new Wolvie movie. Title: Re: Because Sony Hates us Post by: UnSub on August 03, 2008, 05:50:39 PM A comic supervillain movie? Is that a first? It's a poor choice still. :ye_gods: There are quite a few anti-hero movies out there based on comics - "Danger: Diabolique", "Hulk", "Spawn" etc. Outright villains though? I can't think of any right now. Sony wouldn't make Venom an outright villain though - he'd be the Lethal Protector version.

It's a poor choice still. :ye_gods: More likely he'll join the ranks of bad guys who were watered down to become anti-heroes and who later got shitty movies, like Punisher, Catwoman, and Elektra. Title: Re: Because Sony Hates us Post by: eldaec on August 06, 2008, 08:47:52 AM Didn't venom (the symbiote) get blown up? Preventing future use of Venom was Spiderman 3's one redeeming feature.

Read the Recent Ultimate Spider Man. Venom is back despite blowing up in the previous issue. As Fury said 'Kid, did you see a body ? Was there a body ? Because if there wasn't a body, you didn't kill him.' Sigh Wank wank wank wank wank Title: Re: Because Sony Hates us Post by: Evildrider on August 07, 2008, 07:39:15 AM Didn't venom (the symbiote) get blown up?

It's a little different with Elektra though, isn't like part of her schtick that she dies a bunch and keeps coming back?

It's a little different with Elektra though, isn't like part of her schtick that she dies a bunch and keeps coming back? She's died a number of times. Currently I think it's been determined her latest version is a Skrull. Venom has 'died' too, only for it to be revealed he somehow survived. It's comics - everyone stays dead except for Bucky. Then Bucky came back as the Winter Soldier. Title: Re: Because Sony Hates us Post by: Ubvman on December 03, 2008, 12:44:48 AM Venom has 'died' too, only for it to be revealed he somehow survived.

They've brought back Uncle Ben too. Title: Re: Because Sony Hates us Post by: UnSub on December 07, 2008, 09:14:52 PM Actually, that should have been "nobody stays dead". :uhrr:
