Last week Sony announced that they are doing a Venom film to
be released in 2018. Now this sounds good, but I took a deeper look. According
to my sources they are not even in preproduction. The only names attached to
the project are a couple of screenwriters and a producer. Dante Harper is
writing for Venom. His credits are a bunch of behind the scenes documentaries,
so I guess he’s gonna be doing that. The other writer attached is Jeff Pinkner
who wrote the Amazing Spiderman 2. He is also the executive producer of the
DARK TOWER film, and has written the upcoming Jumanji sequel starring the Rock.
Now this writing team doesn’t sound too bad, but I must admit the producers do
makes this sound a lot better. We have Avi Arad most known for his work under
Iron Man and the first two X-Men films. To be honest, he has been more involved
in comic book related entertainment than anyone else in the industry. The other
producer is Scott Rosenberg, most known for “High Fidelity,” “Con - Air,” and “Gone
in 60 seconds.”
This is a pretty wild mix, right?
Sony said that Venom will not be part of the MCU. I doubt
that. I think they need to play ball. Overall, I’m not buying a 2018 release. Like
I stated earlier, they are very far away from just basic pre-production,
casting etc. I see this as a 2019 thing. If they try to rush this movie, I
predict that it will be a huge failure.
But hey, I could be wrong. (I’m usually not tho… lol)
