Sony brainstorming session #257
Exec: Okay, we need a Venom teaser. How do we make sure no one wants to watch the movie?
Editor: Well, we've hired a well-known actor for the lead; that risks people wanting to see it. Let's make sure he doesn't say anything.
Exec: Good. Next.
Editor: Utterly generic action.
Exec: Excellent. More.
Editor: Let's not show the title character at all. Not even a glimpse. Just a sketch of his face at the end or something.
Exec: I can feel myself nodding off just thinking about it. Proceed.
