FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES Helmers To Direct Animated VENOM Movie

"Final Destination Bloodlines" directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein are attached to direct Sony Pictures Animation's upcoming animated "Venom" movie. No plot details have been revealed, and there's no writer attached, but the studio is opening up a writers room to develop the script.

Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Kelly Marcel, who worked on the "Venom" movies, will return as producers. Tom Hardy, who played Eddie Brock in the live-action trilogy will also produce.

The character was created by writer David Michelinie and artist Todd McFarlane, and first appeared in the comics in 1988’s "Amazing Spider-Man" No. 300. On the big screen, Venom first appeared in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 3". Later, the character became the star of his own cinematic franchise with Ruben Fleischer's 2018 film, which grossed $856 million worldwide. It was followed by "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" in 2021 ($506.8 nmillion) and "Venom: The Last Dance" in 2024 ($478.9 million).

Lipovsky and Stein broke out last year with "Final Destination Bloodlines" which grossed $317 million worldwide. They are also attached to co-write a new "Gremlins" movie alongside Chris Columbus, as well as direct Sony's sci-fi film "The Earthling" based on Jonathan Marty's short story, Unniversal's psychological thriller "Long Lost", and Paramount's sci-fi drama "The Traveler".
