With a planned October 5th, 2018 release date and what’s expected to be a scaled down production unless that date gets bumped, Michelle Williams has boarded Sony’s Venom film. Williams has been cast as a district attorney character that may be a romantic interest of the lead that Tom Hardy is playing that we’re guessing becomes the titular character. Williams came to fame quite some time ago for her role in Dawson’s Creek and her marriage to Heath Ledger but she’s racked up some great independent films over the years such as Blue Valentine and Manchester by the Sea with a bigger picture coming later this year with The Greatest showman. Her last big budget film was Oz the Great and Powerful back in 2011 where she played Glinda the Good Witch.
The film stars Tom Hardy, Riz Ahmed, and Michelle Williams.
Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner on board for the script and Ruben Fleischer is on board to direct it. Fleischer did some TV worked as a producer for several years in the early 2000′s and made his feature film directorial debut with 2009′s Zombieland. He followed that up with 30 Minutes or Less and then 2013′s Gangster Squad and has been doing producer work since then and doing some TV directorial work.
