I'm ready I guess

The armor in general was far cooler than most anything else in the movie.

How much are the Spawn comics selling nowadays? He must be niche as hell?

I've got all the swedish issues from the late nineties. Didn't last many years in Sweden before being cancelled. Also have the HBO series on DVD but only watched 1-2 episodes. Spawn really feels like a product of it's time.

Focusing on Twitch (why not Sam also?) and have it in a dark and gritty Seven-esque city with Spawn looming in the shadows could be cool though.

But McFarlane should put his energy towards making another Pearl Jam music video instead.

$10 million budget. No wonder Spawn will be relegated to the shadows.

If it happens.

This has been a screenplay many of us have known about and Todd has spoken openly about for almost 20 years.

 

[D i Z]

Another dumpster fire. Does anybody here still read Spawn btw?

15-20k per issue. It would be cancelled if it were a marvel or dc comic

To my last point, here is an article dated back in 2009 with the same synopsis and how it's been an idea Todd has wanted to see to fruition for ten years (so 1999)

Can't tell you how many times I cracked open a Spawn comic - itself the story of a biblical cosmic battle between good and evil among aliens, cyborgs and demons across the ages - thirsting for the third-person, human perspective of its universe via a bookish, plain clothes detective.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

I doubt the movie's even happening anyway. This just seems like another attempt for Mcfarlane (who also has never had much experience making movies, let alone directing one) to get his name out there again.

 

[Sir Doom]

Good they are doing the cop angle

 

[Gattsu25]

For those, like me, who have no idea who Twitch is.. he's the guy on the right.

 

[HyperZone<3]

Criminy, the last Spawn movie was 20 years ago. Twenty, years, ago.

I guess it really is well overdue for a gritty reboot. In retrospect, I kinda wish the original movie had taken off, just so I could be living in the world where Micheal Jai-White is an actual movie star, that'd be nice.

John Goodman and William H. Macy

Directed by the Coen brothers.

 

[dankir]

Only if Keith David voices Spawn.. nobody else does the role justice.

 

[border]

This isn't going to happen.

It's never going to be a thing

There is no "Spawn" reboot.

Do you think Blumhouse is just going to drop the project? McFarlane has talked about it for years, but this seems like the first time he's actually gotten a studio on board.

 

[Da-Kid]

Only 10 million? Hahaha.... Better go ask Netflix for some help. That's an abysmal budget for a Superhero movie.

 

[Ursn]

Hopefully this makes all the action figures I have worth money..

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

This movie is never actually happening.

 

[Hex]

I am glad that he is sticking with this.
When the last period of serious talk stirred up Sam and Twitch were supposed to be the center, with Spawn as pretty much a ghost, an urban legend and a boogey man.

This movie is never actually happening.

Ok, then you have no reason to be here and can go waste your negativity elsewhere.

Blumhouse has been stepping up in the horror business and would be happy to see them back something like Spawn.

 

[diunxx]

Why the fuck do they keep letting these writers direct movies? sounds pretty boring tbh.

 

[Fury451]

10 mil? This isn't going to see daylight.

 

[jmdajr]

Hoping for the best. I want this to succeed.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Are the the new movie and the new show going to be in the same universe?

 

[ffejeromdiks]

The HBO series was probably the best spawn has ever been, hopefully he's depicted in the same manner.

McFarlane himself directing though? ehhhhhhh

 

[AudioEppa]

I thought this was about the actual Twitch website and was super confused. I don't read comic books &#128514;

 

[cr0w]

Hopefully this makes all the action figures I have worth money..

If you have the later series (24 and on) they're actually surprisingly valuable. I paid $130 at one point for one of the rarer figures from series 31.
