They were serious about that?
I always thought Sony saying "we want to do a Venom movie" fell under the same general heading of "we want a pony".

I love most Marvel characters, but can NOT stand Venom.
I would actually boycott this movie, no matter who starred in it

In all fairness, I ripped that line off of Aaron Sorkin. Originally Posted by Brother Justin Crowe

Is everyone ignoring the pedigree of the film maker? The guy makes good movies. He could end up making a good Venom movie, too. And Sony does NOT want to fuck up the franchise in any way, they want this to be a cash cow for years and years to come. They know how to make good Spider-Man movies. I've got faith they may know how to make a good Venom movie.

I just realized I boycott thousands of movies every year, and I didn't even know it. Originally Posted by Night Swordsman

I didn't bother with the horsey movie, but Pleasantville was quite nice. Originally Posted by JimmyDee

Well, hopefully they can make a better version of Venom than he/they were in Spider-Man 3.
Shouldnt be too hard."Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is."

Its worth remembering that the last time a studio tried a "not-the-same-character" spin-off we got Catwoman.

Did this idiot not watch Spider-Man 3!? Venom ruined that movie. Sandman (miraculously) turned up to be a remarkably well played and sympathetic character, and if it weren't for the formulaic whiny emo bull that every Venom story has to have by law the movie would have been 100 times more well received.
The only time Venom has been entertaining was when Juggernaut was stomping his head through the pavement. Turn that fight into a movie.
No they don't. They're talking about firing the director and entire cast after #4, and handing the series off to someone who says they can do it cheaper and more quickly. Sony doesn't give shit one about the long-time respectability of the franchise, just short term profits. Originally Posted by JimmyDee

Just the lack of dancing and the cheating on MJ plotline that would have never existed without Venom there would have made the movie better. Of course, Harry as the Goblin would have had to been chopped too to actually make the movie good, and by that point there would be nothing left... Originally Posted by Sean Whitmore
