VENOM Kicks Off Production As Tom Hardy Gets To Work On The Spider-Man Spinoff

@Oberlin4Prez - yeah who [frick]ing cares man

@Highflyer - [frick] yeah dude, so stoked for this, can't wait to see something for it.

@Elayem - Have hope... the writers of homecoming wrote vacation... I'm being optimistic lol

@Highflyer - Very true. I was thinking that may be more because of Feige quality control, but who knows.
I'd love for this movie to turn out well. Tom Hardy and Venom are too cool individually, that combined it could be something great.

@Elayem - Remember, it could be worse. Simon Kinberg could be directing it.

@Elayem @Mrcool210 @Highflyer You guys should know that you can't credit a lot of a film to its screenplay. There are many screenplays in Hollywood that are fantastic but get adapted into mediocre movies (Passengers being a big example).

There are a lot of changes from Screenplay to Film as well, since films often change content of the screenplay as they're filming. In essence, and I am stealing this term from someone else, a screenplay is more so "a living document" than a set thing. Screenwriters are very often not a part of the filming process.

The writers of Vacation wrote an initial draft of Homecoming, but it was also rewritten by its director, Jon Watts. Zak Penn is credited for writing the Avengers, but Joss Whedon threw out his script and wrote a new one.

Usually when you see more than one screenwriter on a film credit, they did not work together - they wrote varying drafts of the film, each could be very different from the other (this is also not crediting rewrites similar to the one Dan Harmon did with Dr. Strange).

Not that I'm supporting this movie, but it's pretty important not to bash the wrong people when a film really depends on just about everyone to get right. Especially producers.
