Set for an October 5th, 2018 debut, Sony’s Venom film has been one of the more curious projects that’s come to fruition in bringing more Spider-Man properties to life without Spider-Man himself. It was made more curious by the heightened timeline for it as it got the nod early last year and went into production in October 2017 for an October 5th, 2018 release, which for something that you figure will have a lot of special effects felt like a lot. Add in that casting has been minimal with news and only a few on-set photos taken from a distance coming out and there’s certainly some mystery for those that follow it.
That’s now changed a bit as we’ve gotten our first official look at Tom Hardy in the role of Eddie Brock, though not in his Venom form. One suspects that’ll really be shown for the first time in trailer form for maximum impact.
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.
