BARU-BARU ini kecoh di internet bahawa filem Venom telah dipotong selama 30 hingga 40 minit.

Tentunya hal ini mengecewakan peminat kerana sumber yang mengatakan filem itu telah dipotong datang dari pemegang watak anti-hero itu sendiri, iaitu Tom Hardy!

Namun, semua itu hanyalah salah faham yang tercetus dari kenyataan Tom sendiri, dan kini dia mengakui berasa teruja pula dengan filem ini kerana semua adegan yang dia mahukan, ada dalam filem tersebut.

Malah, kata pelakon yang pernah melakonkan watak Bane dalam 'The Dark Knight Rises' itu, filem tersebut mengandungi "lebih daripada apa yang patut ada".

Dalam satu temubual oleh IGN pada tayangan perdana filem Venom di Hollywood, Tom menegaskan, “it might be misunderstood” (ia mungkin disalah faham).

Jelas Tom, sebagai seorang pelakon ada beberapa adegan yang menurutnya seronok untuk dilakonkan, namun adegan-adegan tersebut tidak terdapat dalam suntingan akhir.


Berikut adalah petikan komen dari Tom Hardy sendiri:

“That’s been misunderstood. What I’m trying to say is, the question was [what] scenes I was most excited to shoot…and I was like, there’s a bunch of stuff that hasn’t made the movie. And I’m talking [from] an actor’s point of view. So what I’m saying is I had a lot of time improvising and a lot of freedom to play with Venom. So in honesty there’s probably about 7 hours or more worth of footage of me playing as Venom and enjoying myself…and when I was doing it I took him right out there, and played with it and had a lot of fun because there’s a lot of fun you can have with the project and with this character. And me and the other executive producers know full well that has nothing to do with what’s in that story. Nevertheless, would I like to watch a 7-hour version of Venom? Yep! But that’s as an actor. But the truth [of it] is everything we wanted is in the story. Everything I want is in the story. And more. And the film is awesome. And I’m excited and I just want to shoot a sequel. Bottom line – don’t get it twisted. As an actor, what we love doing, not everything’s going to make it! I don’t want anyone to think in any way shape or form…that’s not a studio party line, that’s the genuine truth. This movie is awesome. Everything we want is in it. Everything I want is in it. And more. And I’m just saying if I didn’t get my song and dance routine in it, that’s nothing to cry about, but I may have enjoyed that. So if there’s a sequel, hopefully, I can sing and dance in that."

Filem sulung ‘symbiote’ arahan Ruben Fleishe ini sedang ditayangkan di pawagam seluruh negara bermula hari ini.

Selain Tom Hardy ramai lagi pelakon hebat seperti Michelle Williams dan Riz Ahmed.
