Tom Hardy

Venom

R-Rated

From the writers of The Dark Tower, Amazing Spider-Man 2, The 5th Wave, and 50 Shades of Grey

I think we're going to get a The Dark Tower situation, where we have a great cast, good director, very interesting premise, and then is ruined by terrible screenwriters.
Hope I'm wrong. This project could be phenomenal if done well.

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

@Elayem - The writer of 50 shades did also write Saving Mr Banks though. Cause think about it, who the [frick] could make 50 shades of grey into a good movie? She didn't write the sequels and those movies are considered even worse. I don't think it's fair to judge her on writing that movie, just like it wasn't fair judging bill condon for directing twilight when he did Beauty and the beast. There is potential here. Let's just wait and see.

@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.

@Mrcool210 - Very good point. Fingers crossed.

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

@Yaf - You had to bring that up lol.
Goddamn that will be one of the worst decisions Fox has ever made.

At least New Mutants, Deadpool 2, and X-Force should be fantastic

@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.

Well looks like unless some kind of crazy catastrophe happens this movie is actually happening. There are some things against it, but with the writer of Saving Mr Banks on board I'm excited.


Hardy, Fleischer. I hope you and the rest of the cast deliver a great movie.
