CHRONICLE and FANTASTIC FOUR Director Josh Trank Pitched Hard-R VENOM Movie

Chronicle and Fantastic Four director Josh Trank once pitched a hard R version of Venom “in the vein of The Mask”. Evidently, Trank and director Rob Siegel (Big Fan) spent two weeks developing a treatment that was met with disdain from franchise producer Matt Tolmach.
Trank talked a bit about the abandoned pitch, telling Polygon: “I didn’t like how Matt Tolmach was coming at me in that situation, because it felt very kind of authoritative. Well, if you don’t like what I’m doing, and you’re telling me that I have to do something along the lines of what you want, and you’re going to tell it to me in this way — sorry, but I have other things I can be doing.”
Yeah, like ruining Fantastic Four.
