The ‘Venom’ Trailer Gets Dipped In LSD and Becomes Really, Really Weird

Making the viral rounds over the weekend is the following “weird” trailer for Sony’s Venom, which takes the footage and dips it into LSD. The result is a whacky, over-the-rails, and insane trailer featuring appearances by Ace Ventura, Drax, Simba, and a musical number by Tom Hardy.
The movie is inspired by “Venom: Lethal Protector”, a six-episode limited series that gave Venom his first turn as an antihero. In it, Eddie Brock (Venom) moves to San Francisco where he’s captured and has a small portion of symbiote seeds plucked from his suit. They’re in turn used to create offspring of the Venom Symbiote: Scream, Phage, Riot, Lasher, and Agony.
As for “Planet of the Symbiotes”, another inspiration, Eddie Brock’s relationship is with his symbiote and the influence it has on him is explored. Also written by Michelinie, “Planet of the Symbiotes” follows Venom fighting an army of symbiotes with the help of Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider. (IGN)
Woody Harrelson is rumored to be playing Cletus Kasady, who becomes the vicious symbiote known as Carnage, alongside Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, and Reid Scott.
The Ruben Fleischer-directed adaptation set for release on October 5, 2018.
