Life Director & Writers Support Venom Prequel Theory


Life is a Venom Prequel Theory Life Director & Writers Support Venom Prequel Theory
Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are hard at work promoting their next film, the R-rated sci-fi thriller Life starring Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal. On the surface, Life represents a departure from the superhero thrills and irreverent humor that made Deadpool a huge worldwide success for the writing duo; telling an original story of an International Space Station crew that discovers the first alien life form beyond Earth, it seems to be a totally standalone adventure. That is, unless, an interesting new fan theory is to be believed.
There is an idea floating around on the internet that Life is actually a secret prequel to Venom, an upcoming film based on the popular Spider-Man villain. The theory picked up steam on Reddit, where a user noticed footage similar to Spider-Man 3 hiding in one of Life’s trailers. The symbiote organism, which finds its way to Earth and takes over the body of Eddie Brock in the Spider-Man comics, could be the alien organism discovered in Life – making the theory an intriguing one for Spider-Man fans, to say the least. What’s even more intriguing is that the writers won’t totally rule out any connections.
Speaking to ComicBook.com at a recent press event to promote Life, the writers were reportedly “reluctant” to rule out any ties between Life and the Venom film, joking about the theory:
Wernick: Yes, the answer is yes! We are tied to Venom! We are the prequel to Venom!
Reese: We wrote a Venom screenplay, so I think people saw that connection. They also saw the Spider-Man 3 footage that sneaked its way into our last trailer. They just announced a Venom movie release date just yesterday.
Wernick: All of the sudden, someone’s out there going, ‘Bing! Lightbulb!’

But despite the writers’ ambiguity on the Venom prequel theory, studio execs at Sony are apparently more decisive. Collider reported on Saturday that the studio adamantly denied any connections between Life and the new Venom film. That said, in a later interview with the site, director Daniel Espinosa was asked about the theory and declined to comment specifically on it.

Even if Reese and Wernick flatly denied any connections between Life and Venom, the sheer fact that they wrote a Venom script could keep the fan theory alive until Life officially hits theaters; it’s no secret that both the writers and director of Life have a deep affinity for comic books and superhero characters, and conversely there is not much known about the organism that the space station crew discovers in Life. Indeed, in the CB interview, the writers came up with their own idea for how it could work, agreeing it would make a good prequel.
Of course, it’s highly likely that Reese and Wernick were just playing around in their interviews; they simply know that their new film is probably better off with this notion hanging out there rather than thoroughly debunked. As fun a theory as it is, it is ultimately just that: a theory.

The movie “300,” which was released in 2006, is one of the best epic movies of Hollywood. There are very few epic movies, whose sequels are going to be released in future and 300 is also one of them. The 2 nd  part of this movie franchise, 300: Rise of an Empire, was released in 2014 and collected huge profit at box-office. It didn’t collect more than the 1 st  part, but managed to collect large amount at box-office The reason for low collection of this movie might be because the main protagonist, remained alive in the end, while in the 1 st  part, the main protagonist died, or audience didn’t accept the death of Leonidas (Gerard Butler), King of Sparta, and wanted to see him again in the 2 nd  part. The 1 st  part of this movie was based on the comic series, 300, which is written by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, whereas, the 2 nd  part of this franchise was based on another unreleased novel of Frank Miller, Xerxes.

Don Rickles: Why Legendary Comic's Jabs Are Funny, Not Offensive

Famed stand-up comedian and actor Don Rickles, who died April 6 at age 90, cultivated a curmudgeonly persona for decades and was celebrated for his caustic cracks. Known as the "insult comic," his pointed put-downs spared no one, not even celebrities many other comedians would consider off-limits. Before he became famous, Rickles was onstage at a Miami Beach club in the 1950s, when superstar Frank Sinatra entered the room. Rickles called out to him from the stage, "Make yourself comfortable, Frank. Hit somebody," the Los Angeles Times reported. Somehow, Rickles successfully parlayed his barbed insults into jokes — garnering guffaws even from the notoriously grumpy Sinatra, according to the LA Times — and launched a career that spanned more than half a century. But what made his insults seem funny, rather than merely, well, insulting? [Smile Secrets: 5 Things Your Grin Says About You] The success of Rickles' insult comedy may be explained by a humor th
