Agreed.

Venom is my favorite super villain I will buy the Blu-ray jest becouse it's Venom. or make a Venom Carnge and Spidey movie.

This really was a no brainer for Sony. Spider-man is their biggest franchise and they really want to be in the game with all the super movies. I would expect they'll look to the Spider-man universe and see if they can add more spin-offs in the future (I think that part of their deal would be the character has to be in a Spider-man movie before Sony would have the rights to use them).

According to Deadline Hollywood Daily, Sony has tapped a pair of unidentified writers to script Venom. Mean Creak scribe Jacob Estes had previously hired to pen the screenplay but the studio decided to go in a new direction with different writers.

And what of Topher Grace, who played Venom's alter ego Eddie Brock? DHD says, "Given that comic book artist/writer and action figure maker, Todd McFarlane, who is one of the creators of the Marvel villain, doesn't think a Venom movie could do well with a villain as the central character, my sources think Sony should let Topher Grace, even though he was blown up at the end of Spider-Man 3 (yet a portion of the Venom costume survived), stay in the role because the likable actor could be a a sympathetic evildoer."

But might there be another actor angling to don the black suit? MTV posted an interview with Vin Diesel last week where the Babylon A.D. star said he wants to play the title role in an unspecified Marvel villain movie. Makes you wonder, don't it?

Vin Diesel? Haha hope its what he wants and not what they want

[jeabombers]

I think that Vin is big enough to pull it off, IMO. (I heard a quote that "Vin Diesel's acting ability is the only thing that saved Babylon A.D." That must bean B.A.D. really lived up to it's lettering, eh?) Although I originally wanted Michael Clarke Duncan as Venom. Even though Brock wasn't black, I think MCD would be a total badass as Venom.

Yea They Ruined Venom For Me.A Complete 180 Of What I Expected.The Only Thing They Could Do To Redeem The Franchise In My Eyes Is 2 Give Carnage The Proper Treatment.If Anybody Deserves A Movie It's Him.

Venom is a Great character..spider-man 3 did venom no justice..hopefully if they do make a movie they make him as badass as he is

[charlie swords]

+1 Times a million. I can't stand Vien Desel. Let Topher Grace do it. I didn't mind him at all in Spiderman 3.

[buckshot]

I disagree.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413300/ 6.5 on over 100k votes, someone somewhere must have liked it.

It made it's money back and then some, so the studio execs are probably wringing their hands looking for ways to get more blood out of this stone.
