This week’s edition of Sunday Breakfast with Patrick Doyle saw us belatedly get round to Tom Hardy’s Venom.
There are a number of ways to approach this movie. The 5 word summary -Tom Hardy Eats Bad People. Or the title from the point of view of his character, Eddie Brock -How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Just Love Venom. Or the pithy one word summary -Shambolic.
My fevered suspicion is that Kelly Marcel, who punched up Bronson and Mad Max: Fury Road for her old friend, saw the Bat-signal being flashed, yet again, and decamped to Hollywood to find Tom weeping in his trailer.
TH: It’s a mess.KM: Page One rewite?TH: No time. Just take my pages, give me good repartee with myself as Venom.KM: What about Riz Ahmed and Jenny Slate and Michelle Williams?TH: I don’t give a hoot about them! Are they friends with you? No! I am! Please! For the love of God fix it…KM: Okay, calm down. I’ll give it a polish. Just your pages.
