This kinda does make sense, even if it doesn't follow the comics 100%...but then what film does??

Aslo this pics looks so fucking cool as a desktop pic!!

I agree its a great shot- kind of like Spidey goes to Sin City! And I really don't care much about comic-to-film continuity because there are certain things you can't do well in either format- I just wonder why you need Spider-Man himself in a symbiote costume AT ALL if in fact that is what they're going to do. It would be enough, IMHO, for the Venom story (again IF that is what they're doing) to JUST have Brock get taken over by a symbiote and have it, via his own psyche, mimic Spidey's costume.

Think about things that complicate films for audiences. S1 and S2 were basically straight forward with no hints of aliens and such- villains had 'real-world' explanations. So how do you make it similarly toned with any sort of 'Spidey finds alien symbiote, Spidey fights self with alien symbiote and wins, alien symbiote finds guy who hates Parker and makes him Venom, they fight'. Waaayyyy to complicated.

If they do a Venom story it would play much better like this: Random scientist (Grace?) works on some sort of nanotech blah blah blah experiment that of course gets out of hand and creates oooy black blobby stuff, Spidey intervenes to help and maybe gets sprayed with black stuff temporarily changing costume black (?) but black gooey stuff also covers someone else (say either Grace or... another person playing Brock who was on hand trying to get photos to beat Parker, Spidey ditches his suit realizing that the ooey black stuff is kinda alive, Venom created from rest of stuff (maybe joining with what little bit came off of Spidey). They fight, etc.

Its also been speculated that Sandman may only be in an opening teaser sequence similar to a Bond film which considering how early they revealed his character is very possible.
