Early Reports of a Venom movie moving Forward
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008 @ 6:30 pm
IESB has an exclusive scoop stating that a Venom movie is in the works. Back in July Avi Arad publicly stated that he was working on the Venom movie.
We’ve confirmed that “the studio” has met recently with several “A list writers” about a spin-off film.
Eight years ago, New Line Cinema held the theatrical rights to Venom. Since then, the rights have reverted back Marvel. But does Sony have complete control over the character since he was a part of Spidey 3 or does Marvel control the rights to the character with Sony only having distribution rights?
We have to assume that since there is movement and there has been recent meetings with writers this property must belong to Marvel since they have made an interim agreement with the WGA and proceed to develop projects during the current strike. Either way, one thing is for certain, Venom will get a second shot at the big screen.

Eh, just like the new Nightmare movie I heard recently, this only leaves me to be worried just if they screw it up. But hopefully the writers will come up with something for it, and either if Topher does or doesn’t return, it wouldn’t matter to me. He did an excellent performance, but if they decide to replace him or go with a different Venom (like Mac Gargan) then I hope they can still make it work.

They defiantly need some amazing writing to pull this one off.
