#MarvelNEWS VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE - Official Trailer 2 (HD)

This might end up awful... or be somewhat decent. All I know is thanks to Tom Hardy's acting I'll end up with another fantastic comedy and laugh for hours with Venom. 

I don't like seeing Maximum Carnage that much condensed, edited down, simplified and changed.. but it was expected. The original comic was about several groupes (pure heroes: Spidey, Cloak, Dagger, etc.; anti-heroes: Venom, Black Cat, Morbius, etc.; and newer 1990s extreme villains: Carnage, Shriek, Demogoblin, etc.) coming together, clashing down in a long ongoing fight of ideology and good ol' superhero brawls on splash pages.

This movie, like the previous ones, seems to combine an origin story (Carnage's in this case), strip the story down of its Spider-man/Marvel-lore, and simplify all of this into a "good hero" vs his "evil doppelganger" (speaking of, no Spider-Doppelganger here either..). Which basically makes this film the same as the first one: Venom vs. evil symbiote. Only with Shriek replacing the rocket from the end of the previous one, I suppose. You have to get rid of the evil symbiote at the end, right..?

I never expected this to be faithful.

What is strange for me, is that Sony can almost make a real Maximum Carnage film. Just make a simple Carnage origin story first. Throw him into Ravencroft at the end. Make your Morbius origin story film. Allow MCU Spider-man to branch out into the Sony-verse, like everyone expects it to be, according to rumors. THEN make Maximum Carnage. Goody-2shoes Tom Holland will tag along one or more MCU heroes against Venom+Morbius (and just add Black Cat at that point) facing an escaped Carnage that tags along Shriek. And you can even improvise Spider-Doppelganger as a remnant from that parallel realities adventures. Bam! Maximum Carnage with the actual factions duking it out (LIKE THE SEGA GENESIS GAME, AW YEAH!!).

Anyways, let's shut up and watch the new trailer, shall we:

#VENOMNEWS VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE - Official Trailer (HD)

Goddammit.. I'm hyped for this. 

I'm hyped for this because I really enjoyed the Venom film. 

Oh, never mind that, it was really bad, bad plot, bad characters, bad dialogues, bad VFX... but I somehow enjoyed it. Maybe because it reminded me of a big budget B-grade movie. I mean on an almost Roger Corman level, lots of recycled footage (the chase scenes kept running over the same street over and over and over and over again..). And because I've been re-reading a lot of Venom/Carnage material from the 1990s lately..

Anyways, who's hyped for Venom Vs. Carnage in a live action film? This guy!

 

In theaters September 24.

#HorrorNEWS ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP - Red Band Trailer

Remember ZOMBIELAND? Well, these new trailers are certainly trying to remind us the sequel's finally coming.

This new Red Band trailer is better than the first one. But I dunno... I'm not sold on the sequel so far, it feels like it's trying to much to be as fun as the original, and too much self-awareness/"wink wink" at the camera, I feel:

#HorrorNEWS ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP - Official Trailer (HD)

Nobody actually ever expected to see the ZOMBIELAND sequel actually get made. They'd been talking about it for years since the original's release. And yet, here it is. Finally.

The only true thing that change is that in the many years since then, most of these actors have gone up in popularity, how could they still afford the return of this makeshift family? Emma Stone even won an Academy Award since then! They actually poke fun at that in the trailer.

Do you even remember the plot of the original? And honestly it was one of my favorite horror comedies in ages...


Anyways, here goes:



Seems more like more of the same. Just in time for the original's 10th year anniversary (ALREADY???)


The sequel's titled ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP and it is expect to hit theaters on October 18.
