framheim Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 not sure if this has been posted before and apologies if it has:http://www.empireonline.co.uk/news/story.asp?NID=17142i'm a bit sceptical about this, as venom and eddie brock are reasonably big people and topher grace(eric from that 70's show) is a scrawny little guy. also the whole venom thing is a complicated story and could maybe be built up a bit over a few movies(which i guess maybe it is, we don't know much yet) as eddie brock became venom partly due to his hatred of peter parker and it would be nice to see this hatred develop first. perhaps we'll only see venom right at the end of spidey 3 paving the way for him to really kick ass in spidey 4.

Spoonie Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 that Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace will indeed play, as has been suspected for some time now, Sandman and Venom. Church bears a decent resemblance to the character - apart from the whole being made of sand part Well it made me laugh!!Spoons /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulscoconutass Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 VENOM!!! Fucking ace. The venom comics are amazing, almost as good as Lobo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I liked it when Kirsten Dunst let it slip in those beach photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus.H.Christ Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Venom will look so damn cool in the film.It would also be ace if Carnage/Cletus Kasady was in it too. He's bloody mental!But they couldn't put that many villains in one film. Pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinosaur Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 thank god venom is in it! they needed to have him in at least one film! hes the only worthy supervillian in the spiderman world!at least it settles my fears that they were going to have green goblin 2, which I had heard from somewhere that they were. they really should have had venom in the second one I think...

Jesus.H.Christ Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 hes the only worthy supervillian in the spiderman world!Yeah he's ace, but he's not "the only worthy supervillian". There's Carnage, Kingpin, Electro, Lizard, The Vulture, The Scorpion, Hobgoblin...... etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Logan Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Yeah he's ace' date=' but he's not "the only worthy supervillian". There's Carnage, Kingpin, Electro, Lizard, The Vulture, The Scorpion, Hobgoblin...... etc[/quote']FACT: You can't have Carnage without first introducing Venom. FACT: You can't steal other movies villains (aka DareDevil had Kingpin)FACT: The Scorpion, The Vulture and Electro are crap villains.FACT: Hobgoblin is too much like Green Goblin (although they may change him a little and make him Harry Osbourne instead of making him Green Goblin II)FACT: Lizard is also shit.FACT: Venom is the coolest Spidey Villain hence why he needs to be in this movie.FACT: Sandman is also a really shit villain, but with good special effects he may come off pretty good on film.FACT: Topher Grace is an EXCELLENT choice for Venom. He looks pretty much like Tobey Maguire which fits in really well with making him his "Opposite". Smart move, if nothing like the comics.FACT: My College class started 5 minutes ago and I'm now late...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Anyone got the issue where Kingpin gets put away?I want to get my hands on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Topher Grace is too small to be Eddie Brock, and not mean enough. Church *should* be a good Sandman. I'd have though they'd just fudge it so that Jamieson's son returned from his space he'd have picked up the Venom symbiote - he would have enough reason to hate Spidey/Peter Parker too - and it would avoid the whole messy Secret Wars backstory.
