Why Hollywood won't make a Venom movie

Venom is a character that has fascinated comics readers for decades. Conceptually, he is quite simple: he is a dark reflection of both Peter Parker and Spider-Man. The man beneath the suit is disgraced crazypants Eddie Brock, while the suit is an evil alien that once served as Spider-Man's dark new look but was rejected by the webhead. Now, it uses rebound host Eddie Brock to enact their mutual revenge on the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Sounds pretty cool, right? Many people have been clamoring for a solo Venom movie since the very first Spider-Man movie was announced. However, as the Fantastic Four can attest to three times over, the things that work in the funny pages of comic books don't always translate to the silver screen. And when you think about it, there are several solid reasons why Hollywood will never make a solo Venom movie.
