In a move that will shock no one THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN producers Matt Tolmach and Avi Arad have been talking up the possibility of your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man and Venom getting their webs out for a collaborative effort. Given the fact THE AVENGERS is now the third biggest movie of all-time there is no doubt studios will look to take advantage of audiences willingness to accept ensemble pieces so this could have legs…eight of them!
In truth before anyone gets too excited there is only a small quote from Matt Tolmach:
“What I’m trying to say to you without giving anything away is hopefully all these worlds will live together in peace someday… look for the worlds to make sense with one another.”
Whilst Avi Arad talked up Venom/Eddie Brock and his story, which would in theory lead to a second 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 titbits about webs, artificial webs, is a huge industry now. Spider webs have unique qualities that will be huge for communications, fibres, and so forth. So we have taken the approach that we want to make the huge amazing movie about Eddie.”
With Josh Trank, coming off the impressive CHRONICLE, apparently attached to direct this could be a story to keep your eye on, and provided Sam Raimi isn’t given any input than we should be ok.
