got a chance to talk to co-writer Paul Wernick about the script for "Spider-man" spin-off that he wrote with Rhett Reese.

"We've written two drafts of Venom, and the studio has it, and they're pushing forward in whatever ways they push forward," Wernick said. He was tight-lipped about whether there was a relationship between and the project.

"We can't really talk about that, unfortunately," he added. "Basically, the studio and Marvel and the Arads are taking our drafts and going beyond and figuring out what's the next step."

is coming back to the big screen.

reports that Sony is in negotiations with director to helm the Spidey villain's solo feature film.

The studio has been developing a spinoff film for awhile after the character of Eddie Brock appeared in played by Topher Grace. The Hunger Games director Gary Ross was attached to the film for awhile before moving on.


The plan is reportedly to hire a new writer to pen a new Venom screenplay and to have a different actor other than Grace play the role next time around.

There's also no word on whether or not the character would fit into the rebooted universe of , but it would seem reasonable to assume that it will.

Trank was recently reported to be up for directing Fox's reboot , but if this Venom news pans out it would appear that deal didn't work out.

Earlier today, Matt Patches over at Hollywood.comhad a chance to talk with producers Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach, and during the inteview, he took the opportunity to ask them about Sony's planned movie, which director Josh Trank is .

With the success of The Avengers, it makes perfect sense for Sony to want the part of the Marvel Universe they acquired during the '90s to work together as a whole, so one can expect that they'll take a similar real-life science approach with Venom's origin story as they do with Spider-Man and The Lizard in the upcoming reboot.

Arad explained the bigger picture plans for the Venom movie:

"It's an Eddie Brock story. We want to be as close to the comics as possible. Especially in Eddie Brock's story. But again, pseudo-science is becoming science. All these tidbits about webs, artificial webs, is a huge industry now. Spiderwebs have unique qualities that will be huge for communications, fibers, and so forth. So we have taken the approach that we want to make the huge amazing movie about Eddie."

"He was a journalist. He had the wrong story, he got in trouble for it, he got fired," Tolmach continued, going on to explain how they're approaching characters like Venom. "The whole essence to us for the Marvel characters is stay close to the bible, stay close to the emotional story, and the rest is fun. Look for the worlds to make sense with one another."

"Hopefully,all these worlds will live together in peace someday," he added, which gives us the biggest possible hint of what they might have planned

While there's nothing in The Amazing Spider-Man that even hints at Eddie Brock or his alien symbiote alter ego, that doesn't means that the already-planned 2014 sequel won't try to set something up or that they're eventually building to having Spider-Man fight Venom in a third installment.

Oh, wait. They already tried that.

It'll be interesting to see how they do this. Sounds like this movie is going to be him becoming Venom, which means in the inevitable Spider-Man movie with Venom in it they lose all the venom origin plot which means they'll have to pad it with something else (and look how that turned out in 3).

He also can't really fight spiderman in his movie, because then what would the spiderman movie be? The same thing again? But if he does become Venom and starting causing mayhem, to not have spiderman in it would be weird.

idk....we'll see I guess but I don't have high hopes

Dat Law Doe

A venom movie might be hood. He needs to turn into Anti-Venom though. Fucking hilarious with him thinking hes god and healing people.
