New Venom Film
Spider-man Spin-off In The Works

31 July 2008 9:02 AM, PDT

Movie bosses are reportedly in negotiations to produce a Spider-man spin-off film - based on the superhero's arch nemesis Venom.
The villainous character - an evil alien symbiote - appeared in the third installment of the comic book action franchise, 2007's Spider-Man 3, and inhabited the body of the photojournalist played by Topher Grace.
The movie will be in addition to the forthcoming Spider-Man 4 film, which is expected to hit cinemas in 2011, according to Empireonline.com.



Not sure.....they better fucking do it right....they shoulda done this before they bought Venom into the Spiderman films, to set him up for being a villain against Spiderman.

There are stories of coincidence and chance and intersections and strange things told and which is which and who only knows....and we generally say, "Well if that was in movie I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so and so meet someone else's so and so and so on -- It is in the humble opinion of this narrator that these strange things happen all the time.......and so it goes and so it goes and the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain’t through with us."

Wonder if it will be Topher Grace again.

If so, I don't see this working.

Also, if it was Venom what would the story be? I'm not too familiar with many Venom stories other than the main ones that appeared in Spider-Man.

In the comics, Venom was always out to protect "innocents," because of his own personal code. Venom viewed Spider-Man as the one who ruined both Brock's and the symbiote's innocence (Remember, Brock didn't actually fake that shot of Spider-Man, and the Symbiote is just a lover scorned).

They've done a few spinoffs regarding that hook.

However, in the movie, the symbiote is a little more vicious, like the 90s cartoon. Not sure if the same plots would work, considering the symbiote taps the evil in someone.

Yea, but 9 times out of 10 they're hokey and terrible. Because of that trend, I don't really look forward to them.
Marvel has been so quick on the trigger getting movies and spinoffs made for all their properities that very few of them have been handled right.
Spiderman 1 and 2 were home runs, as were Xmen 1 and 2
Iron Man was superb, and the new Incredible Hulk was decent.

But what about the rest? They've made so many terrible movies.

The first Blade was awesome, though it felt more like a great B-movie than a movie based on a comic.

Fuck that, I want Topher. This could be the movie to elevate him - like Spidey did for Tobey. I dug Topher as Venom, it worked in the universe Raimi crafted.

Often enough, the difference is small.

But I digress.

The whole "crap factor" is pretty accurate. Marvel makes movies I want to like. I mean, I love Daredevil, but that movie just...Ew. Elektra was terrible, even as a spinoff for a lackluster movie. I just watched Hulk recently (Not the new one), because my ex and her "friend" hasn't seen it yet, and it was even worse than I remembered. I hear good things about Iron Man and the new Hulk, but considering how bad a lot of their movies are, that doesn't mean much.

DC has had some terrible movies, but they tend to have a better good to shite ratio.

Also, I just want to say, Fuck Topher Grace. Then again, I still hate Tobey, too...

I wonder if it will about Venom or Eddie Brock being Venom if you follow my meaning. I think there's more to explore if it's about Venom as oposed to Eddie Brock being Venom.

If Topher is enom in this movie, I wont mind but do they really need Venom to stay Tophers size? I mean he was smaller than Toby in that damn movie. They need a body builder or something under the suit or it will just be wrong.

As long as brock is motivated by a (twisted) sense of justice, and a desire to protect the innocent in the most ass way possible, then it could be good.

Kind of missed out on the whole point of the character in Spider-man 3. Which I wasn't surprised by, since it was kind of forced on raimi, and he had to put his whole story in that film, instead of just starting it for SM 4. And the fact that he doesn't even like venom.

I could see it going like this:

Venom somehow rematerializes and goes on a mission to kill Spider-Man. He fights him once (this is from Venom's POV, so it wouldn't matter if it was actually Tobey under the suit or not) and he defeats him, almost kills him but the police and a SWAT team save Spidey's ass. Venom tries to make a break for it but he's taken down by a Sonic wave gun and taken into custody.

In the jail cell, Cletus Kassady is his cell mate and after Venom escapes, Cletus joins with part of the symbiote that remained behind and becomes Carnage.

Then we have Venom vs. Carnage vs. Spider-Man as the finale, just like in the Maximum Carnage comic book.

Decent scenario, but no point having Spidey in the finale. Actually, I'd not have him in the movie at all. General audiences are finicky, shallow and stupid; no matter how market a venom movie they'll call it and expect it to be a Spidey movie. Let's not drive their stupidity.

Most likely, Carnage will be the villain. Brock/Venom will need to keep his edge, maybe give the film a macabre humor to it with a guy like Brock in the lead (something Topher could pull off). The somebody much worse than him comes along and he... well he grows up, learning Uncle Ben's great quote through life experience.

If anyone knows the 3-parter "Funeral Pyre" featuring the Punisher, this could make a ok film I guess.

Unfortunately there's no uber nasty bad guys, but they could have Castle catch a glipse of the symbiote in the upcoming War Zone film. Maybe a quick "what the fuck was that?".

Dunno, just trying to connect more Marvel films I guess.

Yeah, reavant, thats pretty much wrong in this case. Venom sucked in spidey 3, because they completely fucked up the character's personality and motivation. It's the costume and big nasty teeth which are iconic, not his size. Turned him into a cookie cutter villain, instead of the psychologicaly complex character he is supposed to be. I don't blame raimi for that as I said, because he was pretty much forced by avi arid to put venom in the movie.

Venom shouldn't have gotten involved with spidey, and they should have saved the rest of his story for the fourth film, where they would have had more room to develop his character.

Oh, and I didn't like how Eddie Brock was portrayed either. Brock was never the cowardly, sniveling little weasel type. He was a man with a strong sense of justice, which ties into the venom character.

Hopefully all this gets recognized for this spin-off.

If someone knew my secret identity, had easy access to my loved ones, and felt his deadly hatred for me was justifiable by God; him being bigger wouldn't be the issue. His physical body size does give the illusion of oppressive dominance, but that's Vince McMahon's way of thinking. It doesn't drive story or character, but it might sell tickets. "Big guy versus little guy." C'mon...

And actually, Venom was bigger than Spidey in the movie. Not by much but hey, there you go.

I never seen the point of the "He's not big enough" debate for these comic movies. Like we really need WWE wrestlers, body builders and such for these roles. Cause that's what it sounds like some of you guys are asking for.

Well, even if they wanted to make him bigger, with today's cg, you wouldn't need a bigger actor.

But its still irrelevant anyways, in my opinion.

I just dont see how you guys dont think its a big deal. I mean thats a pretty significant change to the character from the comics. I mean Ie seen people spaz out for much more subtle changes to comic characters from comics to movies.

Me and U-Warrior had a spat about Goku not having a tail in the upcoming Dragonball movie, but his stance had relevence due to the Sayijin tail's connection to certain plots.

You're talking body mass.

For me it was never a big deal so long as the character was intact. Elektra's costume in her movie was on point. Did that do anything for you?

We are not those people. There was probably a good reason why he wasn't as big as his comic counterpart. A very real possibilty is that they may have tried, and it just didn't look as good.

Although, admittedly, if they were going to say fuck all to the depth and character that made venom great, they probably should have worked on the cg to make him look good, big.

Sony Pictures wanted it, I think they were the primary push, not Avi.

Besides, Raimi did a lot with that movie that was just retarded. I know Raimi's a God around these parts, but if he fucked all that shit up because he didn't like Venom, he was cutting off his nose to spite his face.

You're emphasising the least important element of his "worst nightmare," though.

Spider-Man's worst nightmare comes from the fact that Venom is a committed individual with all his powers plus, not to mention the ability to completely hide from Spider-Man's Spider-Sense, and (as alrerady mentioned), an identity that allows him to get close to Parker's friends and family. He can strike from anywhere, and he will. He doesn't need to be bigger to be badder and scarier.

They don't do that, though. Ever noticed how it's usually the actors in the costumes? Kinda dumb, but they seem to want to capture the "real" guy regardless.

I think he meant that Brock was blown up, too. Though that's readily explainable. Say, for example, the symbiote ejected Brock to save him. Combine that with the remaining piece, and you've got an answer.

Oh, yeah there were plenty of reasons why it didn't work. Just saying it didn't help.

I think given a movie of his own, to be the main villain in, Raimi probably would have taken the time to do venom right, despite his dislike for the character. Because frankly, the one thing he does great in these movies is the villains. Given the time to flesh them out. But with two villains taking up the majority of the film, he pretty much had to shoehorn venom into the movie.

I definitly think Raimi has his faults, but it's hard to place all the blame on him here.
