MORBIUS: THE LIVING VAMPIRE Will Start Shooting Sooner Than Expected But Don't Expect An R-Rating

Venom had a solid opening weekend which exceeded expectations and while it's still too soon to say whether or not it has the legs to be considered a true success, Sony Pictures is no doubt feeling very happy with how it's performed so far. Now, work continues on a number of other live-action Spider-Verse spinoffs with the next being Morbius: The Living Vampire starring Suicide Squad's Jared Leto. 

During a recent interview with Collider, producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach were asked what the status of that project currently is and Arad said that the current plan is to have cameras rolling by as soon as next February, with Tolmach adding: "Yeah, the plan is early part of next year. We’re still working on it." So, like it or not, the movie is going to happen and we should hear casting news soon.

Despite the character's horror background, it sounds like we can forget about Morbius: The Living Vampire boasting an R-Rating as Arad was quick to point out the following. "[At] least for me, I have grandkids, kids, whatever, all these things, and some of these movies, they’re dying to see. You know? As I took my grandson, seven, to the recording session of Venom. He had the time of his life."

Sony is on a mission to ruin Spider-Man's rogues' gallery one movie at a time.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Yeah I must admit I haven't seen Venom yet (and have no plans to until its streaming) but going by both positive and negative feedback, it seems Sony basically failed upwards with a general consensus seeming to be it's so bad its good. I wouldn't mind so much if they'd put the effort in and got rewarded for it but it sounds like they did the usual crap and got lucky with Hardy's performance. Based on that, not happy to see this all going ahead.

@Catmanlives - nah, the consensus is that it’s okay. Much better than the reviews were saying. Like a little better than Thor the Dark World and Iron Man 2.

It does make sense, SpiderMan fans tend to scew younger, he's the kid superhero, Morbius and Venom are SpiderMan characters, Sony made a bucket load from what seems like a young audience for Venom according to the trades because it wasn't R, it's the Marvel/Disney way of doing things and it seems to work.

I wasn’t expecting an R-rating for Morbius nor did I want one. But Avi Arad should probably stop talking

Off Topic: Right now watching Return of the Living Dead with my brother for our annual October Horror Movie Marathon. Yesterday was Strangers. Both great movies. Strangers however is a slow burn.

A true gender classic. People tend to forget that we got fast "zombies" before 28 days after.

And Linnea Quigley was gold for my tender teenager eyes ^^.
