Venom Unleashed On Los Santos in This ‘GTA V’ Mod
JulioNIBs ongoing work on a mod for GTA V, that lets you play as everybody’s favorite symbiote with a penchant for lobster, is really picking up steam, and the latest version of it really shows off Venom’s power and agility. It’s still very much a work-in-progress so the animation is still quite stiff, but the heart of what you’d expect from Venom is clearly present. So he swings, rampages, and bites people with extreme prejudice.
You can check out the mod in the video below.
GTA has had its fair share of comic book character mods over the years, from a Liberty City-trashing hulk to The Flash zipping round Blaine County. Venom has shown up before in Ultimate and classic forms, but this movie-style Venom is relatively new by comparison. If this one keeps progressing as well as it has so far then it’ll be a firm favorite to jump about Los Santos with, causing chaos when it does eventually get a full release for the public.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
