Don't know if it would work (especially without spidey), could do venom v carnage though

Agree wholeheartedly. The iconic "Venom look" comes from his/its encounter with Spidey. It would therefore be pretty difficult to pull off an origin story (as all comicbook adaptations start off) without some reference to Spiderman 3.

Plus this whole idea of a semi-evil hero is pretty hard to pull off. Audiences can't or won't relate to a hero who's taken over by some kind of malevolent force i.e. demon but does good deeds. Just look at Spawn or Ghost Rider (or don't).

I think studios sometimes look too leftfield when considering comicbook adaptaions. Green Latern should have worked but didn't. Kick-ass was a leftfield comic made mainstream. Why can't anyone produce something decent with the Punisher (dude with guns; no special effects needed)?

I really enjoyed Chronicle so it would be interesting to see what they come up with.

I'd rather he did the Fantastic Four - or that Marvel would bring him in for the next round of their movies.

Or God forbid, that he'd carry in making his own original stuff.
