Todd McFarlane Teases His R-Rated SPAWN Movie Script in Video Update
Last month, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane brought up his long-awaited new Spawn movie again. He's been working on this thing for years. McFarlane said at the time he was finished with the script and went on to describe it as containing elements of horror, suspense, and supernatural thrillers. He also described it as Paranormal Activity meets The Departed, and explained:
"In the background, there’s this thing moving around, this boogeyman. That boogeyman just happens to be something that you and I, intellectually, know is Spawn. Will he look like he did in the first movie? No. Will he have a supervillain he fights? No. He’s going to be the spectre, the ghost."
McFarlane isn't done talking about his movie! He recently did a live Facebook video in which he gave another update on the project. This is obviously a project that he's not going to give up on. Seeing his determination to make this thing, I actually believe that he won't stop until he's done it.
In the video, he teases the script that he's written, which currently sits at 132 pages. There's a little bit more editing that needs to be done, but there are goals in place. I think seeing the success of Deadpool really lit a fire under McFarlane's ass to get this thing done.
The first Spawn film was rated R, but it failed miserably because it sucked so bad. This new film version of Spawn will be a hard R movie, but it sounds like this one is headed in a much better direction. It's great to know that the movie is still in development and moving forward to production. As a long-time fan of Spawn, I can't help but be excited for this and seeing how it turns out.
