Somehow I missed Ruben Fleischer's VENOM (pre-order HERE) starring Tom Hardy in theaters this past October, but all is good as today we have word that Marvel’s most badass character will make its debut on Digital and on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD this December. The comic book blockbuster has grossed more than $822 million in theaters worldwide to date and is the perfect holiday gift.
It arrives filled with f*cking TONS of bonus materials including a mini-documentary called From Symbiote to Screen that covers the history of Venom in comics and his journey to the big screen, a behind-the-scenes peek at some of the stunts, a look at Ruben Fleischer’s journey behind the lens, a featurette about what it took to create Venom on screen called Designing Venom, Eminem’s video for his hit song “Venom,” and more!
You can check out the full list of special features below along with the Blu-ray cover art, and a fun new trailer recut that paints the film as if it were a romantic comedy. Pretty funny shit. But beware, if you've missed the film thus far (like me), the new trailer contains some pretty major spoilers.
The film follows
Eddie Brock, a broken man after he loses everything including his job and fiancee. Just when his life is at its lowest, he becomes host to an alien symbiote which results in extraordinary superpowers – transforming him into Venom. Will these powers be enough for this new lethal protector to defeat great evil forces, especially against the far stronger and more weaponized symbiote rival, Riot?
