New Venom Trailer – Take a proper look at Tom Hardy’s Spidey symbiote

August 6, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When Sony released a first teaser for their Venom movie in February, they probably weren’t expecting the, erm, venomous backlash they received. While their were complaints about all sorts of things, the ultimately boiled down to the fact they’d released a trailer that failed to actually show Venom.

They started to remedy that with a new trailer and poster in April, and now we get our best taste yet, which suggests this may be the twisted tale many had hoped, rather than the more sanitised Venom of Spider-man 3.

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘One of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award® nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom.’ The movie also stars Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze and Reid Scott, with Ruben Fleischer directing.

The film will be in cinemas in October. [Read more…]

Venom Teaser Trailer – Tom Hardy is having symbiote troubles in the Spider-man spin-off

February 8, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There are still plenty of people wondering quite how they’re going to make a standalone Venom movie work, especially as while the character may be very popular in the Spider-man universe, he’s normally thought of as a villain. While the first teaser for the movie doesn’t fully explain how Tom Hardy and the alien symbiote will work together, it hints at a Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde vibe.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘One of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award® nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom.’

That doesn’t exactly tell us a lot, so it’s worth taking a look at the teaser and the poster underneath it. The film itself, which also stars Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed, is due in cinemas in October. [Read more…]

Riz Ahmed In Talks To Star Opposite Tom Hardy In Venom

August 10, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sony is planning to expand its Spider-man universe with a Venom movie. They’ve made a good start by picking Tom Hardy for the central role, and now they’ve cast another excellent British actor in the movie.

Deadline reports that Riz Ahmed is in early talks to join the film. It’s not known exactly who he will play, but it is apparently a ‘popular Marvel Comics character’.

Venom is an alien symbiote that needs a human host to survive. He was introduced to movie audiences in Spider-man 3, but it left fans rather disappointed in how it was used and certainly didn’t leave viewers wanting more, despite how popular the character is in the Marvel comics. Not much has been revealed about the new film’s take on Venom, although it’s believed Hardy will play Eddie Brock, who becomes enmeshed with the symbiote. In the comics he’s generally been a supervillain, but it’s likely he’ll become more antihero for the new movie.

Rube Fleischer is set to direct the movie, which is currently due for release October 2018.

Tom Hardy On For Spider-Man Spin-off Venom, With Ruben Fleischer Set To Direct

May 20, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom Hardy sure seems to like his comic book movies. After playing Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, he very nearly played Rick Flagg in Suicide Squad, until overruns on shooting The Revenant forced him to back out. Now he’s planning a return to the comic book world, as Variety reports that he’s set to star in Sony’s planned Spider-man spin-off, Venom.

The ‘alien symbiote that needs a human host to survive’ was introduced to movie audiences in Spider-man 3, but it left fans rather disappointed in how it was used and certainly didn’t leave viewers wanting more, despite how popular the character is in the Marvel comics. Not much has been revealed about the new film’s take on Venom. In the comics he’s generally been a supervillain, but it’s likely he’ll become more antihero for the movie.

Scott Rosenberg (“Jumanji”) and Jeff Pinkner (“The Dark Tower”) will write the script, with Zombieland’s Ruben Fleischer recently coming on board to direct. The whole thing will have to come together quickly, as Sony wants to release the movie during October 2018.

Sony Reveals Spider-Man Universe Plans With Venom & Sinister Six Films

December 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-poster3
After Marvel’s success every studio wants their own superhero expanded universe, with Fox looking at how they can evolve X-Men and Fantastic Four, DC massively upping how they intend to use their characters on screen and Sony hinting at the fact they want to explore the Spider-man universe.

Now those plans are moving forward as the studio has revealed in a press release they are already working on movies based around Venom and the evil Sinister Six. Screenwriters Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner, Ed Solomon, and Drew Goddard have been brought together to created ‘a franchise brain trust to expand the universe for the brand and to develop a continuous tone and thread throughout the films’.

Kurtzman & Orci (Star Trek, Transformers) & Pinkner are writing the screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 3. The movie will shoot next autumn for release on June 10, 2016, with Marc Webb likely to direct the movie. Kurtzman & Orci & Solomon meanwhile will write the screenplay for Venom, which Kurtzman will direct. Goddard (The Cabin In The Woods) will write The Sinister Six, with an eye to  also directing.

Sony had previously announced Amazing Spider-man 4, but that was questioned recently when Andrew Garfield said that had ‘nothing to do with me’. Some wondered if that meant he had no intention of extending his contract past the three films he initially signed up for, but it actually appears it’s more because Spidey 4 will actually become either Sinister 6 or Venom and may not feature his character at all.

Chronicle’s Josh Trank May Take On Venom

March 7, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Even before Venom popped up in Spider-man 3, there’s been talk of giving the character his own movie, but it’s only in the last year or so Sony’s really been pushing to make it a reality (they flirted with a Gary Ross directed version just after Spider-man 3, but that fell apart). Now the LA Times says Chronicle director Josh Trank is in negotiations to direct Venom.

While early talk about the Venom movie back in 2008 had Topher Grace returning to the role, he’s long gone from the Venom movie. However what isn’t known is whether Sony is seeing this is a completely separate entity, or if it will fit into the rebooted world it’s creating with The Amazing Spider-man.

Sony is currently looking for a new screenwriter to take over from the likes of Jacob Aaron Estes and the Zombieland team of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who worked on previous drafts of the screenplay.
