"We've written two drafts of Venom, and the studio has it, and they're pushing forward in whatever ways they push forward," said Venom co-writer Paul Wernick in an interview with SciFi Wire.

Alongside Rhett Reese, Wernick co-wrote both "Venom" and the upcoming Zombieland.

When asked if Spider-Man would play a part in the spin-off, the writer remained mysteriously tight-lipped, "We can't really talk about that, unfortunately," Wernick said. "Basically, the studio and Marvel and the Arads are taking our drafts and going beyond and figuring out what's the next step."

I'm still unsure about this idea, especially after they raped the character in Spiderman 3. Maybe this is where Carnage can come out and play. Also, how do you do a Venom story and not include Spidey...and still get people to go see it.

Yep, Purcell for Brock and Knepper for Carnage!

Purcell and Knepper had great chemistry in Prison Break in the few scenes they had together! I'd love to see them face off in the Venom movie - i honestly cant think of two actors who would work better as these two characters!!!

I don't like this at all. They need to keep Venom and Carnage involved only with the Spiderman movies.

...otherwise, they are going to mess around and more than likely (I guarantee this) will RUIN these characters.

@LEEE

OK? Why not have a dark Spider-man movie with Venom and Carnage? Aren't you tired of the same old Spider-man movie formula about Peter juggling his personal life with being Spiderman? I'm sick and tired of that. A darker Spiderman would spark more interest IMO, and it wouldn't even have to be R-rated. Besides, Raimi knows horror; I think he would be ideal at making that movie work.

This movie is gonna be so lame. I'm not paying to see Eric Foreman play venom.......again. Plus, a venom movie with no spidey? Who the hell would he fight? It's like having a Lex Luthor movie. What's the point?!

Casting the two guys from Prison Break would make this a gimmicky film. I don't think making the film in general is a good idea. If spiderman isn't getting the reboot treatment then they need to keep on screen continuity, even if they vere from the source material. I realise that may upset a few people! haha.

Don't make a dark spiderman film. Not every comicbook movie has to be dark. I love the new batman films as much as the next guy but spiderman is a different kind of hero.

It's just wierd to all of a sudden have a Venom spin off. I could see Kraven the Hunter with his own spin off before Venom

Roscoe182 - 9/25/2009, 5:36 PM
i do like the idea of a villian film maby nt venom but sum 1 like (at this point id love to say the joker but i wont) iv now gone blank on villians all i can think of is joker but venom only wants 1 thing an thats to destroy spiderman so its guna be very very hard not to have him in the film

DO NOT....DO NOT USE TOPHER GRACE..THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT OPT TO SHOWCASE NOT ONLY VENOM THE RIGHT WAY BUT BRING IN VENOM'S BABY...CARNAGE..VENOM VS CARNAGE WOULD BE COOL. VENOM CAN STAY EVIL BUT THE LESSER EVIL THAN CARNAGE..SO IN A WAY, HE'S STILL BAD, BUT THE STAR OF THE MOVIE

What a terrible idea, Venom will never be able to hold his own movie unless he fought Carnage and was rated R. We all know that ain't gonna happen.

Retribution13 @ Keep that to yourself lol! ; D

GUYS @ A VENOM movie would be AWESOME!! An HELL NO to SPIDEY in it,he's got SPIDEY 4, if they put CARNAGE in it, that's the villain, some of you clearly have not read a VENOM comic, he's a ANTI-HERO slash HERO depending on his mood lol, He's no DR DOOM or LEX LUTHOR! VENOM needs to be dark, and then CARNAGE should get a spin off out of this spin off and it'll be so far away from SPIDER-MAN by then that SONY can make a R-RATED CARNAGE movie, an CARNAGE could hold his own easy with the likes of FREDDY, JASON, MYERS etc, on the big screen!

A horror movie like CARNAGE has never been done before!

; )

I can see a Venom movie working, but not Carnage. I think that is just a bad idea. Venom has had his own series, while Carnage has not.

I agree that Spidey shouldn't be in it. There's just no need for him.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 9/25/2009, 7:01 PM
Roscoe182: yeah, i think that fake - damn pity though! still, i guess thats one less chacracter Smallville can [frick] up after what they did with Doomsday!

And yeah, i dont think id want to see a Carnage horror movie - just the chacracter in Venom would be enough. A Spidey cameo wouldnt hurt but maybe just something like Venom watching him from a distance swinging through the city rather than a full on film stealing part!

if they would have done venom right in the first place they wouldn't have to try and make up for it with his own movie. bottom line is Venom should have been introduced in spidey 3 and became the main villain in 4 just like Raimi wanted to do, but oh no not when the Arads are involved.
Roscoe182
Roscoe182 - 9/25/2009, 7:34 PM
@josh the thing is its a bloody awesome fake
SpideyFan1982
SpideyFan1982 - 9/25/2009, 7:42 PM
Me, personally I hope that this move rots in development hell. For many reasons.

1. They should somehow have Venom return in Spidey 4 or Spidey 5
2. This movie will make less money in the Box Office than Punisher: Warzone did.
3. Carnage should be in a Spidey movie.
4. What is a Venom movie without Spider-Man? A crappy movie.


Mark my words, if Spidey 4 has a BORING Kraven hunting the Lizard storyline, then that will be the FINAL nail in the coffin for the Spider-Man franchise. Kraven is too boring.
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 9/25/2009, 7:52 PM
Kraven's boring? A deadly hunter who carries a wide variety of weapons, ranging from guns, to poison darts, who is an expert tracker, and has amazing physical prowess is boring?

Okay....
