Saw this. Really wanted it to be true. But not going to get my hopes up.

Sony Exec 1: Hey Randy.
Sony Exec 2: Yay Bob.
Bob (formerly Sony Exec 1): You know that space movie we got coming out this year with that little goo thing coming on the spaceship and running a literal Muk.
Randy: (former SE 2): Sure, got Ryan Reynolds in it and he is hot right now.
Bob: And you know that Venom movie we've been trying to get made for 5 years. *Points to the script on the shelf*
Randy: Well sure, the one right next to our Aunt May spy thriller. Kudos to Marvel for getting Tomei as our new Aunt May, she'll be a lot easier sell as a sexy spy.
Bob: Well...and see if you can follow me on this. We shoehorn in some reference or cameo at the end of Life with the spaceship falling to Earth and only one member of the crew is living and then SPIDER-MAN shows up and catches the thing in a GIANT WEB! BOOM, lead into a Venom movie.
Randy:


Sony Exec 3: *Comes into room laughing* Oh guys, I just finished watching Ghostbusters AGAIN. Boy, are those girls a hoot. So what are we talking about?

If it's true, I think this is a "Split"-esque prequel with this being a last minute decission. In the end I think this will be like the "Leto is actually Robin" theory and "Batman is actually Deathstroke" theory. Wishful thinking and horseshit clickbaitery.

Rumor: Sony's Sci-Fi Thriller LIFE Might Be a VENOM Prequel in Disguise

Is Sony’s Columbia Pictures puling one of the biggest coups in the history of cinema?

Bloody Disgusting just unloaded all of its webbing at this new fan theory that’s too good to be true, yet is surprisingly believable.

Is Life, in theaters March 24th, a prequel to the long gestured Spider-Man spinoff, Venom?!

The first piece of evidence is pretty simple; all three films/franchises are released through Columbia Pictures, not just Sony.

The second clue is that on March 16, out of the blue, Venom was given an official release date of October 5, 2018, meaning there must be secret progress behind closed doors in order to get production underway for that targeted date.

Another bit of information is that Sony contacted Bloody Disgusting directly wanting it known that Alex Kurtzman (The Mummy) was no longer attached to direct Venom.

Here’s where we start getting into the Spider-Man tie-in…

The recent trailer for Life carries the exact same shot from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3. The villain in the 2007 sequel? Eddie Brock (Venom), played by Topher Grace!

(From Spider-Man 3)

(From Life)

Nearly the same footage from a 2007 movie is in a trailer for the 2017 Life. What does it mean? Could Life truly be a Venom origin story? Why not? Shared universes are all the rage now, and what a cool way to re-introduce the character, setting up a quasi-remake for next year.

FilmSchoolRejects recaps it perfectly: “See, in the comics and the movie, Venom isn’t a humanoid, it’s an alien symbiote that attaches itself to a humanoid and takes them over. Looking back on the Life trailer, said goo from Mars does appear to be some kind of adhesive symbiote capable of starting small and spreading man-sized, and the inclusion of a single crowd shot — on Earth — would seem to indicate our crew isn’t successful in destroying it.”

The site also notes that what really gives this theory legs are Reese and Wernick, the writers, who do have Marvel connections via Deadpool, and Sony, the studio behind Spider-Man 3, Life, and Venom.

With studio’s pulling the rug out from under fans being all the rage – The Woods, Split, Cloverfield – it wouldn’t be surprising in the least if this fan theory ended up being true.

LIFE Writers and Director Won't Rule Out VENOM Prequel Rumors

Both Life writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, along with director Daniel Espinosa, are reluctant to admit that Life has no ties to Venom, though the possibility of the creatives just having some fun with a fan theory remains. ComicBook.com caught up with the trio behind Life at a press event for the film and posed the question directly.

"Yes, the answer is yes!" Wernick said in a joking manner. "We are tied to Venom! We are the prequel to Venom!"

Reese was quick to point out the reasoning behind the theory. "One is that we wrote a Venom screen play, so I think people saw that connection," Reese said. "They also saw the Spider-Man 3 footage that sneaked its way into our last trailer." None of it rules out a connection. "They just announced a Venom movie release date just yesterday."

Wernick chimed back in, saying, "All of the sudden, someone's out there going, 'Bing! Lightbulb!'"

While the writers' tone was one of a joking manner, they never distinctly ruled out the possibility. In fact, when asked if they're of the belief that Life would make a great prequel to a Venom film, Reese agrees, saying, "It would, wouldn't it?"

"That's the symbiote!" Wernick says of the alien life form in Life. "Eddie Brock's on Earth. The symbiote's on Earth, finds Eddie Brock..."

They're practically already writing the connection.

"He realizes he can hide on the inside of a human," Reese said of the alien.

Whether or not Life is, in fact, the first R-rated tie-in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe which now houses Spider-Man, is left ambiguous for now. To form your own decision on whether or not there is a chance Life launched the Venom film as a secret prequel, you'll have to see Life in theaters when it releases on March 24.

This will be merged with the Venom thread after a few days.

Still wish MCU was attached to it.

man SONY keeps making genius move after genius move

 

[minute bull]

I'd jizz and thank Split.

I'm the other way around.










Both Gyllenhaal and Ferguson would make for inspired versions of Venom. I already consider Jake as a renegade Spider-Man, and have been entertaining the notion of a female Venom being quite black widow sexy.

 

[Hearse Lightning]

I can't get into any of these superhero movies. I already planned on seeing Life and surprisingly wouldn't mind seeing it a transition into a Venom movie.

Well, fuck

 

[SoberAwakening]

Wouldn't another easy way to figure this out is look at the casting list and see if any of the guys in space have the last name Jameson? Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the events leading up to Venom, didn't it come from a space mission involving JJ's son?

 

[HeLLMuTT]

I like the Idea of this as well as the trend that movie makers being sneaky tying films together like this. Life looks pretty good to me, this is an interesting theory.

http://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3428695/breaking-life-not-venom/

This really doesn't disprove Life being the Vemon prequel at all really. Especially when a lot of the comments make note of Brad Miska's opinion being shit.

Don't know why the guy that wrote that short article felt like letting out a pretty big spoiler for M. Night Shyamalan's film "Split" which is only a couple months old. Still want to see it either way.

 

[One MMA Fan]

If it's true then nice twist and I hope it was proper planned not last minute patch work.

If it's all fake then FUCK YOU for even trying to work that angle on us, I hope your movie fucking fails if you want to play that bait and switch bullshit on us. (yea a bit harsh but still)

 

[Organic Damage]

If nothing else it's a good way to drum up interest in Life with desperate Marvel fans.

I think you might be thinking of Werewolf by Night, which I think might be the most convoluted concept for werewolves.
