Planet Buzz Today's Date:

Ryan Kwanten is "Eddie B" in #Truthinjournalism

Directed by Joe Lynch, he of the lamented Knights of Badassdom and co-star of Holliston, this short film combines Belgian art films (homage to Man Bites Dog), cinema verite and deep, deep Marvel geekdom. "Eddie B." is, of course, Eddie Brock, and the "truth" he wants told is what has happened to him in the wake of the Sin Eater scandal, and one horrible night in an old church belltower.

I'll spoil it only to get you to watch it -- because that night was the origin of Venom. And this short film proves that Venom is NOT a hero, especially with Kwanten's twitchy eagerness driving the symbiote. On top of THAT, you get a subtle cameo and dig at another bobbled Marvel franchise, with Derek Mears guest-starring.

My guess is part of this came up out of downtime on Holliston, but producer Adi Shankar is obviously a fan (who was executive producer on Dredd), carving out a little "bootleg" Marvel movie universe with top talent and proving that in the dark corners, you can do service to the fans and do it right!
