Will a different Spidey web be spun(-off)? According to
The Hollywood Reporter, Sony is looking to branch off of its
Spider-Man franchise with a sequel centering on the villain Venom. However, it seems that there may be a long road ahead for this film.
The trade reports that Sony had ordered a draft from
Mean Creek scribe Jacob Estes, although now it is reported that the studio wants a different take on the subject and is now searching for different writers for this potential spin-off.
It seems that casting is up for grabs as well. While Topher Grace portrayed the Venom character in
Spider-Man 3 last year, but the part is being offered around town and it is believed that the studio doesn't feel that Grace can anchor a summer tentpole release.
Sony does have
Spider-Man 4 in development as well, but the pic isn't slated for release until 2011.

Venom better be done right, and be a darker film. There is NO WAY they can do Venom justice by aiming him at kids, too.
That's an even bigger question.
And he still needs to have a bit of a life, he can't always be venom.
All i am saying is this should be given to someone with full understanding of venom, he needs to be furious not slightly mad
i love venom
he deserves his own movie indeed
but he shouldn't be the only symbiote in the pic
It sucks! But it did not fail. Simple.
In short... Spiderman sucked in OUR OPINION, but... don't say it failed. Cause it didn't.
And for god sakes, make him bigger!
just sayin i bet this project will land in the hands of some with no real love for this caracter again (raimi) an it will be a mess, with another origin story slightly differant from 3.
a venom an carnage finale would be good
