In an exclusive interview with Sci Fi Wire, Zombieland screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are developing the script for the upcoming Venom movie.

“We’ve written two drafts of Venom, and the studio has it, and they’re pushing forward in whatever ways they push forward.,” said Wernick.  It is unknown at this point when the film will go into production.

Venom, a.k.a. Eddie Brock, was last seen on film in Spider-Man 3, where he was played by Topher Grace.

When Sci Fi Wire asked about the possible connections between the Spider-Man franchise and the Venom movie, Wernick said, ”We can’t really talk about that, unfortunately.  Basically, the studio and Marvel and the Arads are taking our drafts and going beyond and figuring out what’s the next step.”
