RopeOfSilicon.com states that the Venom movie will be directed by
Spider-man 4 cowriter Gary Ross, with Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (
Zombieland) working on the screenplay.
Initially intended to be a
prequelspin-off from
Spider-man 3, the Venom movie will ignore that crapfest and most likely recast Venom, effectively making it a stand-alone Marvel movie. ROS also reports that Venom "will be transformed into an anti-hero who becomes a defender of the innocent," which
would kind of work so long as Spider-man doesn't come into the picture.
[For a little extra reading, try Venom: Sinners Take All. It actually doesn't suck.]
As much as I like Topher Grace, Venom is supposed to be HUGE, and even though he bulked up considerably for the part, physically, that's still a 'no'. I hope they don't cast a wrestler as Brock for this. That'd be so lame.
It'd be pretty cool if Ross could tie
Spidey 4 with
Venom. Then...
...it will lead to CARNAGE!!
