Venom spin-off confirmed

[fourstarfizzle]

Israeli Avi Arad is best known as the producer of some of hollwood'ds biggest franchises, from X-Men to Spider-Man, and The Hulk and the upcoming Iron Man. So a movie about teenage girls bsased on a doll doesn't quite seem to be Avi's movie. But Arad is one of trhe key producers of Bratz and he predicts its success will lead to a sequel. He talked exclusively to PAUL FISCHER about Bratz and beyond.

......

Question: And the other thing of course is you haven't really left Marvel behind completely right? I mean you're still personally involved in Hulk and Iron Man ...

Arad: ..and Spiderman. And I'm making Venom.

......

Question: Have you had discussions already about a Spiderman 4?

Arad: We are just talking about it with Sony.

Question: Do you think it's going to happen with the same people?

Arad: As I said, we are just talking.

Question: And how is Venom coming along?

Arad: Awesome. Awesome.

Question: When do you start, when do you announce who and cast and ...

Arad: Ah, soon. Soon. You know ....

Carnage won't do in anything less than an R rated film, and for marketability's sake I think they'd keep everything to PG-13 at the very most. Carnage in something less than R would be kinda silly and watered down.

Wait wait wait wait wait, the Marvel Comics guy is producing Bratz? WTF?

[Mr Evil Guy]

Haha that's so great. The Iron Man commercials can be like "From the producer of X-Men, The Hulk, Spiderman & Bratz"

It is just so out of place.

Topher Grace won't be starring as Venom.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Aw crap, I thought Topher Grace was excellent as Eddie Brock... I'm still hoping this movie is good, Venom is one of my favorite Spidey villains.

[thuganomic]

Topher Grace clearly doesn't know how much Spidey fans love Venom. Venom is a marketable character in of itself, unlike Electra or Supergirl.

I hope Raimi is kept as far away from this Venom movie as humanly possible. >_<

And damn, Grace made for a great Eddie Brock, shame he won't be in the new Venom movie..

I'd think they wouldn't hire someone to direct the movie of a character he isn't a fan of.

The Venom spin-off makes sense as the only people who really want to do Spider-Man 4 is the studio.

Honestly, my favorite Marvel movie is the first Blade. Which, if I remember correctly, was released with a hard R rating.

I think that the core films, like Spider-Man and X-Men, Captain America, Iron Man and the such are fine with PG-13 ratings... but there should be a division of Marvel films geared more towards to older audience. Like they do with some of the comics. Blade, Ghost Rider, Carnage, The Punisher and more... those characters would almost need a hard R rating to be used properly.

In fact, wasn't Trinity released as a PG-13 film? I enjoyed it, but it could have been better if it was a darker movie.

Cloudy, you're talking about the same Hollywood that let Tim Burton direct two Batman movies when he wasn't reportedly a fan of it and certainly didn't care for the comics.
