LA Times reported that Sony is negotiating a deal with Chronicle’s Josh Trank to bring Venom back on the big screen. The popular Marvel Comics villain – created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane in 1988 – made an uneventful appearance in 2007’s Spider-Man 3, leaving fans of the character disgruntled. Back in 2009, Gary Ross expressed interest in making a Venom movie, but one thing led to another and he ended up making the upcoming The Hunger Games instead.
27-year-old Josh Trank is currently celebrating the success of Chronicle, which has grossed over $60 million since its opening day. According to Wikipedia, Trank is one of the youngest directors to go #1 in the United States, followed by a 28-year-old Steven Spielberg with Jaws, and a 30-year-old James Cameron with The Terminator.
