Production Listing Suggests ‘Venom’ Will Be a Rated R Horror Film!

Oh and it’s still not a sequel to Life.

The success of rated R movies Deadpool and Logan will likely pave the way for more comic book films that push boundaries and step outside of boxes, and Sony Pictures’ Venom could be the next one to do just that. As announced earlier this month, the Spider-Man character will be getting his own movie on October 5, 2018, and it may very well be something of a horror flick.

Frequently reliable website My Entertainment World just shared the production listing for Venom, set to begin filming this coming Fall, which describes it as an “action/horror/science fiction” movie. That description sure lines up with the character, who could very easily be the terrifying villain in a superhero/horror movie mashup. How cool would that be?!

Additionally, Collider is reporting today that Venom will be rated R! They say the plan is for the film, scripted by Dante Harper (Alien: Covenant), to launch Sony’s own Marvel universe.

The character was introduced in 1988 in “The Amazing Spider-Man” #298-300, scripted by David Michelinie and drawn by the legendary Todd McFarlane and Mike Zeck.

Venom is an alien symbiote that needs a human host to survive. In return, the alien empowers its victim with incredible powers.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
