Speidi Spinoff

Filed under: Film Flickers

venomm.jpg

Spencer and Heidi are gonna have to wait - this is a different Speidi spinoff!

Sony is been said to be moving forward with Venom, a Spider-Man spinoff.

The character is based on the nemesis that appeared in Spider-Man 3, played by Topher Grace.

The Venom is a parasite that attaches itself to its host via a gooey and sticky substance and then gives that host some special powers.

Sony can either rehire Topher or have the option of casting a new actor. Insiders speculate that the studio does not feel confident in Grace's ability to carry a big tentpole film on his own.

Sony already commissioned a draft of the script to be made by Jacob Estes, a writer from the film Mean Creek.

However, they are considering going in a different direction from Estes's script and are already seeking writers to create a new draft.

Let's hope the new spinoff doesn't suck.

    Yick. That sounds awful. But Mean Creek was really good, so it might not be too terrible.

    i wonder with what kind of f**ked up story they will revive VENOM, since Topher and the VENOM Essence were obliterated in Spidey 3…

    Serious BS

    Well no disrepect to Topher as an actor, but I don't think he can carry a major fil either!

    Please don't post this picture now. Its bad enough that a demonically possessed man decapitated someone yesterday. We don't need to see a picture of the demon. Thanks :)

    Perez, I think it's actually spelled "Spidey" when you're referring to spiderman…but i think we're all tired of spin offs, remakes, and the like. Can't someone think up something NEW and ORIGINAL? It's been so long since I've actually seen a new movie that doesn't suck.

    Speaking of Speidi, Perez, why haven't you posted anything about the cover that Lauren is on?? On EW? She looks gorgeous and your precious SPeidi refused to be on the story since they found out that she would be on the cover. Douches!!!!!

    How are they going to rehire Topher Grace? He died in the last one.

  24. Brand says – reply to this

    Perez, you are a good for nothing piece of s*it. Your website is nothing bit copied material that you did not gather for yourself. You do nothing but steal info from everyone else and post it on this pathetic website making it look like you have gotten the material yourself. Your a thief!

    Spider-Man 3 was Awful, Awful, Awful! Comic-book fans hated this movie they got it all wrong and to paraphrase George Clooney in "Batman & Robin", Raimi singlehandedly killed the Spider-Man franchise!

    Topher Grace does not make a good Eddie Brock! Eddie Brock wuz always a big dude, like a football player type build! Venom iz not all skinny and scrawny like Spider Man!

    It would be cool to see more of the battle between the character and the change promotes by the suit.
    Topher sucked balls as Venom. Poor choice. You need someone a little tougher and a better actor.

    vin diesel the best for the venom character

    as long as topher grace isnt casted as Venom Id watch it

    "The Venom is a parasite that attaches itself to its host via a gooey and sticky substance and then gives that host some special powers."

    Sounds just like Perez

    ugh please rehire a new actor. Topher Grace was just annoying, and not the kind I'd like to watch again. I know that his character was supposed to be like that, but I just don't like him. And I don't think he'd be able to carry the movie either.



  35. 35

    Hes scary looking :(
    I don't like him.
    & Perez you should tell ppl to stfu about the whole… "FIRST" thing.
    It's getting annoying. :)

  36. Chloe says – reply to this


    36

    love topher, they better keep him…

  37. jess says – reply to this


    37

    uh didn't Venom DIE in Spiderman 3?? i'm pretty sure he did, how are they gonna go make this? silly movie studios.



  38. 38

    1. Might be cool, they didn't screw up Spiderman.
    2. Didn't Topher Grace's Human Character get killed off in Spiderman 3?
    3. I can see them having Venom attach itself to a new character (new actor) or two, maybe even a female.
    4. Who would Venom fight? Sony only has the rights to a limited amount of Marvel Characters. Marvel keeps most of them close to production arm.

  39. smith says – reply to this


    39

    I think they shouldn't concentrate on another superhero to fight but rather the struggle within himself, the fight against his dark side and the bond it has with the suit.
    If you get the right guy or girl to do it, it could be pretty damn epic.

  40. rahee says – reply to this


    40

    ahh. fucking excited.
    but i seriously hope they replace topher grace with another actor. he's just not.. blockbuster material.
    for gods sake, Shia LaBeouf woudl make a better Venom than he would.

  41. rahee says – reply to this


    41

    Re: xenu – … if you know anything about comic books, or spider man, you'd know that there are 3 other different "Venoms" whom the symbiote attaches itself to

    but grace is hot!
    he needs to be in the movie

  43. Lynn says – reply to this

    I love Topher Grace soo much!! He was excellent as 'Venom.' I really hope they offer the part to him first!

    Dear God NOOOO! Spider Man 3 was wretched! Unless they can pull a Nolan out of thier hat ala Batman then forget it!

  46. Saman says – reply to this

    I think this could be done well but if they are going to do it they should definitely keep Topher Grace on as Venom. Frankly he was the best part of Spiderman 3 and the only actor in the movie that actually seemed devoted to his role (it was so obvious that Tobey McGuire was only doing the film for the payoff and not because he still had passion for Spiderman). I think the success of this film would depend more on the script. Even a "bigger" actor than Topher Grace would have a bomb if the script sucks, and there is a lot of potential for that to happen considering that Venom is not a character that most people would care about from the get-go.

  49. Erica says – reply to this


    49

    no they seriously need to hire topher grace for the part he did a great job in spiderman 3

    I think Jennifer Garner would be totes hot as Venom. Or Hilary Swank, she's done the dude thing before.

  51. john says – reply to this


    51

    Oh hell no. Venom is a totally one dimensional character. Only goofy fanboys love Venom. Serious comic fans realize he's an overexposed character. I will not see this movie.

    Marvel comic movies are all the same and getting boring. Time for a change.

  57. Alex says – reply to this


    57

    Topher should be Venom! He was awesome, and of course he can carry a movie. COME ON!!! He held That 70s Show together for SEVEN SEASONS. And he's not that different from Toby Maguire as far as personality (basically, tragic nerdlinger) is concerned. Give the good actors a chance and stop fucking up movies by putting shit actors in them (Lopez, stop! I can't take any more crap)!
