Not big news, but a glimpse of the comic to movie adaptation...
I don't like to see Venom separate from Spidey, I don't like it dammit!!
Anyway, I hope the movie is interesting, let's see how developes...

DE: It would have been hard to do. How would you explain the big spider symbol on his chest?

DG: Well, that was the easy part, actually. It wasn't as hard to divorce Venom from Spider-Man as you might think. In the script, the symbiote comes from an alien world that is an arachnid type world. The arachnids there tried to fuse the symbiote with a symbol in a way to contain it. It escapes in a craft that crashes on earth. The black and white symbol is its containment suit. It really wasn't that complicated.

DE: Was he a villain?

DG: Venom wasn't a great guy but, in the script, his enemy Carnage was infinitely worse. He was an anti-hero kind of like Blade. He's not a hero when the movie begins. There was always a Jekyll and Hyde element to it. He was wrestling with the symbiote the whole time

A Venom movie could be good, Spidey can't fight for crap. The movie was good, i liked it, but there's hardly any fighting in it. Venom can bring out some black slimy action for sure!

but i don't know.. from that interview

DE: Years ago you wrote a Venom [one of Spider-Man's arch enemies] movie. What happened with that?

DG: Yeah, that was a bit of a [pause and a breath]. It wasn't great [laughs]. I never was a big Venom fan and, at the time, the people at New Line really wanted me to do it. It's one of the few times that - even though I love New Line - I allowed myself to be talked into something.

Oh, yeah!!

For the sake of Stan Lee... Why can they even imagine Venom without Spidey?? Well, in fact, they can imagine something with that name in a movie... although it's not Venom: Symbiote from an alien arachno-world blah blah blah... Venom is not totally bad blah blah blah... Sounds very CHURROSO.

I don't think Venom will work outside of Spider-man. I think they could at LEAST introduce him in a Spidey movie first...*sigh*. Spider-man gave me a lot of hope for future comic movies, but with changes to Daredevil characters (it still looks good though...), a naked Hulk (which I'll get over), and changes to other franchises, Spidey may stay the best Marvel movie. At least X-men 2 should be good.

Sure it wasn't complicated, but it also isn't that good an idea, so the level of complication and the level of not sucking ass seem to be equal...

What's the point of Venom removed from Spider-Man? Unless he's acting as a foil for Spider-Man a movie version of the character would just be some guy covered in inky, CGI'ed snot. I wonder if Venom will show up in the next Spider-Man movie? Considering Sony is planning on spending $100 million on the release of Spider-Man to video Link Here I doubt they would think twice about spending the money to buy back the rights to Venom if they came up with a good idea for pitting him against Spider-Man.

Get ready for the "Professor X vs Lex Luthor" action movie! Shiver with excitement as they fight over the can of Turtle Wax to get their heads that extra shine! Coming summer 2003!

Ok, admittedly, Venom's a bit more dynamic than those two, but still he's a side character. I don't think he'll work as the solo hero without Spidey.

HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU HAVE A VENOM MOVIE WITHOUT SPIDEY HAVING THE SYMBIOTE COSTUME FIRST!?!?

If Venom was in a Spidey movie and he somehow got the symbiote then Eddie Brock got it and somehow turned into Venom then the Venom movie would be a Spider-Man spin-off and the character would have already been introduced and everything would be fine.

I don't like the idea of a Venom movie just yet. Not until AFTER a new good Fantastic Four movie comes out.

I'm all for the FF.

I really hope not. I've already got it stuck in my mind that he's Professor X and nobody else. They better tell some other guy to shave his head and be Luthor, because Patrick Stewart is Charles Francis Xavier!

Fine then, plan B... they'd better call Samuel L. Jackson to play Luthor, because he'd be perfect to play the Luthor as he appears in Paul Dini/Timm Bruce cartoon form.

Mr. Wizard would have made a great Lex Luthor. He's already a mad scientist and has a whole stable of kids to hold hostage. I'm just not sure if he's dead or not though.

Hey, I remember Mr. Wizard! That old guy was wild.

I gotta look up old bald actors one day and look for some candidates for the Luthor role.

Hey, a black Luthor would be pretty cool, might as well follow the Daredevil trend and change some stuff up. Y'know Luthor raped Lois a long time ago, I wonder if that'll come up in the movie somehow.

Anyway, who would you have play Lois Lane?
