VENOM is one of the coolest villains in Spider-Man universe, too bad his image and reputation was ruined when the skinny dork, uncool Topher Grace played the role in the lame sequel disaster Spider-Man 3.
Seeing that X-Men movie has a spin-off feature action film titled X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERIN, which opens May 1st, 2009,.. Sony Pictures is thinking…’mmm.. maybe we can do something similar’
According to Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures is moving forward with VENOM The Movie a potential “Spider-Man” spinoff based on a bad guy.
This is done due to the fact that bad guys are gaining popularity nowadays, like Heath Ledger’s The Joker.
It’s not really radical and tricky because at another camp, Djimon Hounsou is set to play a villain character spinoff from the movie Conan the Barbarian, THULSA DOOM
But here’s the thing, Sony is doing one thing right and one thing wrong this new project.
One thing right is,…they’re eyeing somebody else to play VENOM instead of Topher Grace because Sony is not convinced Topher can carry a tentpole picture.
Good thinking! My sentiments exactly! Who the hell wants to see Topher Grace as the lead role for a whole movie?!
There are better, tougher actors out there who would be more convincing to play Eddie Brock/Venom.
One thing wrong is… The studio had commissioned a draft of the script from Jacob Estes, a writer of the specialty film MEAN CREEK.
Ya see… Mean Creek sucked balls! So handing something as big as this to a guy who’s behind something that sucks is not, I repeat not a good idea.
By the way, a friendly reminder from your friendly neighborhood movie buff, the sequel movie SPIDERMAN 4 which is written by Jason Vanderbilt will be released in 2011
