Ed Norton would be a sweet Carnage I think

i thought it was wind :shifty:

Sandman was a criminal on the run from the law. He was hiding out on a remote beach, unaware that the Government were running atomic tests on it. He was affected by one of the atomic blasts, and his molecules fused with those of the sand on the beach, thus making him Sandman. I'm pretty sure he can harden himself to the qualities of diamonds, and he can 'disperse' himself. Fun times.

I don't remember diamonds, but he can do a solid block of concrete-level shit.

Oh shit yes.

He could do it. Dye his hair, curl it a bit, and let him act like a lunatic. If they want to cast Tobey as Spiderman, and Topher as Venom, Jake would work for Carnage... They're all about the same build, same style, and Jake looks the craziest. Unfortunately, I can't find a good picture of Cassidy without the Carnage symbiote online.

Or maybe Stephen Dorff. I think he could pull it off.

You know, they may not actually have Venom himself in the story as a whole, they could just show brock in the Bugle all the time and set the wheels in motion for the next one (Rami has said he'd like to do 6 right?) So at the end of the 3rd one after Sandman and Goblin are dead, Brock could find the suit and boo yah!

You're probably right :$

Isn't Venom supposed to be a muscle head? not a computer nerd?

the muscle guy from CSI would be a perfect Eddie Brock I dunno

Venom shoudl be HUGE! :naughty:

Jesus Christ, you TRY to be thick, don't you?

I was telling you my pick was a joke. :|

Brock wasn't a monster when he was first merged with the suit. The stronger he gets, though, the stronger the suit makes him. However, it bulked him up even when he had just been fired.

The thing is, they don't need a bulky guy to play Brock unless they CHOOSE to go that way. What they could do is make him scrawny and bulked up as Venom, or they could go with a bigger Brock.

Get Brock Lesnar.

He's got the build.

Errr, I thought you were asking me if I was joking ;)

Anywho, cut me some slack, I don't sleep anymore, so I'm no longer coherent.

Venom's overrated. There are much better villains in Spider-Man's rogues gallery....

.....like Arcade! :shifty:

It's a wellknown fact that Venom hates the internet. :shifty:

Lesnar as Venom would be SWEEEEET. After that he wouldn't need to come groveling back to Vince McMahon, he could just do the next two SM movies and be set for life.

Thomas Hayden Church, ladies and gentlemen:

Looks like Sandman.

Is it me or does his right arm look about twice the size of his left :$

It's not just you. I stared at that picture for like a minute before I figured out what was wrong.

topher grace will be electro. book it.

sam raimi has talked over and over again how much he loves the sinister six as spider-man's original villians.

Hmmmm.... maybe they could use Venom's origin from the Ultimate Spider-Man series. It's not as cool as the original, but it'd be a lot easier to cram into one movie.

should be interesting. hopefully the just use Eddie Brock as build-up for Venom in Spidey 4

Topher Grace cast as Venom.... Wasn't Venom a gigantic fucking freak of a man?

Which would be much better than the other shit they could pull.

My only real problem with that is that Ultimate Venom sucks.

"We were trying to cure cancer by building a suit that..."

they've already established John Jameson, astronaut and hearthrob, so they could as easily work with the 90s Cartoon version, so ease of use doesn't make much of a diff. Besides, if Raimi is worth even a tenth the stock people put in him, he won't do Venom in one movie.

Yeah and no.

Brock didn't really become a huge beefcake until Brock found out that the stronger he was, the more the symbiote could enhance his strength. Eddie went from "shmuck on a newspaper" to "Olympic class strength" in a short period of time. The symbiote also makes him look bigger to an extent.

The guy playing Brock doesn't have to be that big, especially if Venom is CGI'd heavily. They could as easily pull a Lou Ferigno thing, like the original Hulk series. When you're that big, who cares if you look like the punk who plays sissy lil banner?

I guess it should be ok. I like Topher Grace as an actor so I'm sure it'll turn out alright.

It will be cool to see him all decked out in special effects anyways...

Good god.

Again with Carnage?

I will tell you this. Carnage has about a 5% chance of being in this franchise. He is a lame character, with absolutely no depth whatsoever. Venom was great, and had a lot of different layers to his character, albeit being overexposed. Carnage is just a crazy guy with venom's powers, and some unoriginal new ones mixed in. He is a product of shitty unoriginal 90's writing, and I was overjoyed when he was recently killed off(for now).

I understand why a lot of people like him. Yes, he looks cool, but so what?

Hey let's put Chakaras in the next Batman Movie? Don't know who he is? Who Cares, he looks cool!

Chill.

Just because he lacks depth doesn't mean he won't show up. The guy was a hugely popular character who has invaded almost every variant of Spider-Man.

I'm not syaing he should be in, just that that's piss poor reasoning to say he won't appear.

His similarities to Venom are too great, for them to use him. While a second green goblin story would work due to the harry/peter relationship, Carnage wouldn't have that intense backstory to save him. His only connection to any of the characters, is that he was eddie brock's cell mate. You can get away with these kind of rehashes in comics(as evidenced by all the carnage fans on TPWW) but in films it wouldn't work. The critics would tear it apart. And don't forget how much money they spend on these films. That's a factor when choosing a villian. Do you think they are going to choose a less interesting version of venom, just because he was popular in one of the lowest times in comics history?

Same here.

But he's still popular. Critics don't do much criticising these days. They're encouraged to get people to watch the movies. Crooked if you ask me, but whatever. Carnage is still big with retarded virginss aged 5-35, and they're the ones most inclined to see a comic book movie anyway.

I guess I'm just not getting the artfag approach to a popcorn flick based on a 4-color superhero.

Actually most people hate Carnage, nowadays. Don't know why so many people on TPWW like him. Seems like every one of his fans gathered here.

Carnage doesn't translate into a movie villain, IMO. Like I could see him being defeated in the opening of the movie or a passing reference to something that happened between movies, but not being the main focus of a particular movie.
