Cool Concept Art From VENOM Shows an Unused Scene and a Fight Sequence
I don’t know about you but I really enjoyed the 2018 Venom. It was by no means a perfect movie, but I thought it was fun. Recently, some concept art from the team that helped bring the movie to life was released and it shows how we might have gotten a different ending. Thanks to ComicBookMovie for bringing this to our attention.
Senior Concept Artist Paolo Giandoso, and artists David Masson and Matt Millard shared these images and gave some background on them.
The first few images came from Matt Millard, showing some options for a screen version of Venom that they had to choose from.
Paolo Giandoso had this to say about creating the character, and his process in doing so:
One of my first task on this movie was to infuse some life in the Character, play around with Venom and make a series of quick studies showing him not as a 3D model but as a creature with a distinct personality (there is a sort of grotesque joyfulness in the character I really love, especially in the Lethal Protector comics)
Giandoso continued:
Then I was asked to design ways for the Symbiote to slither over Eddie's face and create Venom," he continues. "In my mind, the symbiote, being a shapeshifter, can potentially grow teeth, gums, eyes and tongues wherever it wants over his surface. All its matter has the potential to become these sort of features.
Giandoso concluded by saying:
"It just chooses to create them on the face to arrange them in a way is more functional for a bipedal host. I wanted to give the idea of these features emerging and rearranging, lines of teeth moving and sliding around until they compose the final shape we all know.
I was tasked with concepting the whole symbiote final fight, mechanics and all, the way the Venom and his evil counterpart clash together and merge, until the final sacrifice scene after the rocket explosion.
These images are a small section of a deleted scene from the beginning of the third act, in which Eddie confront his buddy about his hypocrisy and they finally make peace and move on to save the world.
I can’t wait to see what Andy Serkis does with the sequel. With the great casting of Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady AKA Carnage, I think we are in for a real treat. I can’t freaking wait. Let us know what you think.
