Venom movie in the works
So I read online this morning that Sony is talking about a Venom spinoff. I am torn on this concept. On the one hand I love Venom and think he is a great character. On the other hand the last time he showed up in film he was about as bad as you could possibly make him. Could they have missed the point of Venom more? Maybe, if they made his costume pink or something. If Sony is going to do this, for god’s sake go with Eddie Brock (not Mac Gargan) and make him a muscle bound guy, not some wimpy kid designed to appeal to teeny boppers who like weedy girly man vampires.
The good news is it looks like the guy who directed Chronicle, Josh Trank, is going to do this and he seems to get it. I just wonder if Venom is going to be a villain or a hero, and if so who his enemy is going to be. Part of the whole appeal for Venom is his and Eddies obsession and complete hatred of Spider Man. At one point Brock and the symbiote came to be OK with Spider Man, but that was after years of wanting nothing but to squash him like a bug. I don’t know if they can recreate that obsession and make it believable for anyone else.
This shirt I found in Dave’s comic book t-shirts, by the way. Seems cool to me, especially if you are looking for a last minute costume. Talk to you later.
