Venom Official Poster Only Has Eyes for the Symbiote

Sony's new poster for its upcoming Venom movie is minimalist and a perfect tease for the October release.

Sony's also teasing something else, posting "Tomorrow. #Venom" on social media. It's hard not to want to speculate about exactly what it is, but there's a lot to tease out between now and the October 5 release.

The all-black poster is punctuated by Venom's eyes, perhaps the most defining characteristic of the symbiote other than a prehensile tongue and rows of fangs. But in spite of its minimalism, it could stand on its own without even naming the film as a poster for Venom.

Here's a high-resolution copy of the poster for you to check out:

Tomb Raider Arcade Game Released to Promote Movie

It looks like there will be new Tomb Raider game sooner than thought, although it's not the next triple-A installment from Square Enix you're all hoping for. The film is getting a promotional tie-in with an arcade game that will appear at select locations of US restaurant chain Dave & Busters.

Arcade Heroes reports the new title will be a gun game in the style of Rabbids Hollywood. The cabinet is the same, "with the artwork, marquee and pistols changed to fit with the new game."

Pictures of the cabinet were snapped and posted on Reddit. Like Rabbids Hollywood, there appear to be three levels, and the logo is very much in keeping with that of the first rebooted title in 2013.
