Before the making of his 2018 film, Venom was planned to have his own movie all the way back to 1997 that was going to be published by New Line Cinema instead of Sony.  David S. Goyer to wrote a script for an R-rated Venom movie that partially adapted Maximum Carnage with Dolph Lundgren in mind for the titular role. The film also contained nods to the various Venom comics and novels of the 1990s.

Like his 2018 movie, there was no connection to Spider-Man whatsoever, and it also takes numerous liberties with the source material. Eddy Brock lived at St. Estus' orphanage as a child, and was taken hostage by Cletus Kasady when the latter burned the orphanage down. Years later, Eddy became a respected journalist, while Cletus became a notorious serial killer with a cult following and a fixation on Eddy.  Eddy went undercover to help the police lure Cletus into a trap, with Cletus being sentenced to a televised public execution. Dr. Ashley Kafka (Cletus’ psychiatrist) combines aspects of Anne Weying, being Eddy’s love-interest and even becoming She-Venom late into the movie.

The Venom symbiote (Who bonded to with an alien spider) escapes a horde of Blood Hunter symbiotes by jumping into a stasis pod, which crash-lands on Earth and crushes a mugger in the process of robbing Eddy. The symbiote leaves the dead alien spider and bonds to Eddy, turning him into a semi-amorphous monster with the ability to sprout giant spider-legs from the emblems on his chest and back. As Venom, Eddy beats up some of Cletus’ followers, but has a symbiote-induced premonition of Cletus bonding to a Blood Hunter symbiote and going on a rampage, and sets out to stop Cletus’ execution.  One of the Blood Hunter symbiotes follows the Venom symbiote to Earth and bonds to Cletus just as he’s about to be executed. Cletus escapes and fights with Venom, proving even more powerful than him.

The Vault, a black ops government organization that seeks to capture and weaponize the symbiotes, having captured a few Blood Hunters in the past, recruits Dr. Kafka,manipulates her into helping them capture Eddy and separate him from the Venom symbiote. Upon realizing she was tricked, Dr. Kafka is imprisoned, but the Venom symbiote escapes and bonds to her, turning her into She-Venom until she returns the symbiote to Eddy with a kiss.

Cletus now calling himself Carnage hunts down the people involved in his arrest and kills them, then sends his followers on a city-wide rampage. As the Blood Hunter symbiote consumes him from the inside-out, Cletus returns to the ruins of St. Estus’ for a final confrontation with Eddy. Eddy and Dr. Kafka inject Cletus with Vitamin-C to incapacitate him, but the Blood Hunter symbiote abandons Cletus’ body in preparation to reproduce. Eddie separates from the Venom symbiote and sends it to fight the Blood Hunter, then seemingly immolates them both.

In the end, Eddy and Dr. Kafka remain a couple, and it’s revealed the Venom symbiote is still alive and bonded to Eddy.

All of this honestly sounds very crazy, while I can understand why Sony chose to re-wrote the story completely, It would be nice to see some of this scripts elements make it into Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
