Ruben Fleischer is taking the reins on Venom, and he has plenty of experience in both the horror and action realms.
Venom marks Fleischer’s first feature-length directorial project since Gangster Squad, but he’s also been keeping himself busy on television by executive producing and directing episodes of Superstore, American Housewife and The Santa Clarita Diet.
Fleischer has also said that Venom will be inspired by the works of David Cronenberg and John Carpenter.
Fleischer is best known for directing the horror comedy Zombieland, which came out two years before The Walking Dead TV series hit the scene.
