Sony is moving forward with Venom, a potential "Spider-Man" spinoff, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The trade says the studio is developing the project, based on the villain who appeared in Spider-Man 3 and is hoping the character could serve as an antidote to the aging "Spider-Man" franchise in the way that Fox has used Wolverine to add longevity to its "X-Men" franchise.
The studio had commissioned a draft of the script from Jacob Estes (Mean Creek), but the studio is considering going in a different direction from Estes' script and is seeking writers for a new draft. Casting also is no simple matter. Topher Grace played the character in the film, but agents have been eyeing the role for their clients, as Sony is not yet convinced the actor can carry a tentpole picture. The Hollywood Reporter adds that neither Sony nor Marvel would comment for the story.
Sony is also still developing a fourth "Spider-Man" film for 2011.

I hope it the Mac Gargan version of the Venom. He's more wicket. Though I wish they'd make a Thunderbolts movie. That would've been even better. But I guess it can't be done because Bullseye and Green Goblin being dead can mess up Marvel Films continuity.
speaking of Bullseye... daw ma gago ko pre... when the flood hit us a month ago, among the things that were damaged was my precious comicbook collection... i had some precious comics there... such as the first appearance of Bullseye, sa Daredevil, & damu lang... daw magago ko
Shit...that's hard. Budlay pa dira daan ma ngita comics sa aton. Budlay man da gyapon mangita? Sing una nag untan ko collect kay damo guid ko issue nga ma miss. X-Men, especially.
