At Fan Expo Canada 2019, McFarlane said (via Comic Book Resources), “I’ve directed this movie a thousand times in my brain.” On making his directorial debut, McFarlane says he’s felt little to no nerves about his first feature film. The project will mark the first time McFarlane directs anything the 1997 movie starring Michael Jai White was directed by Mark A.Z. Todd McFarlane, who first came up with Spawn as a teenager before establishing a career in comics as an adult, wrote the script and will direct the movie.

Since then, development on Spawn is allegedly back on track. But after the critical and box office success of Joker, the idea of an R-rated comic book film has enticed studios. The project was put on the back burner for the majority of 2019, unfortunately. Production was at one point scheduled to begin in January 2019 in New York City. Here’s everything we know so far about Todd McFarlane’s Spawn. It's changed ever since the Joker from being me begging them to do Spawn dark and creepy, to them asking." I've been talking to a couple of Academy Award people, I've got the investors getting lined up. "The phone calls are coming in fast and rapid. "Everybody in Hollywood wants an R-rated, dark comic book movie, and Spawn is at the top of their list," McFarlane said at a panel at FAN EXPO in Vancouver (via ) in 2020. With a cast in place and the successful studio Blumhouse Productions ready to back the movie, it's only a matter of when, not if, Spawn hits theaters.

NEW SPAWN MOVIE S FULL
Finally, in 2020, things looked full speed ahead.

Since 2016, McFarlane has publicly worked to get a new movie based on his best-selling character off the ground. But when he rises as Spawn, all hell really breaks loose.įamed comic book creator Todd McFarlane is sitting in the director’s chair for the first time in a new movie adaptation of his 1990s Image Comics icon, Spawn. Marine Al Simmons is killed in cold blood, he makes a deal with the demon Malebolgia to come back as his assassin. But what the heck, if the Spawn movie can get this far on nothing but a plucky attitude, Covid-19 should be nothing.When decorated U.S. There’s only the little matter of everything being shut down. And we’ll be left with nothing but the CROW reboot to keep us warm at night. It sounds like one day, Wampler and I are going to have to see this Spawn movie, after years of not believing it would ever happen. No one asked him how much he wanted to make the film, but he volunteered: “I wanna make the movie so badly.” I don't think he directs so chances are someone else will make the film badly. There has apparently been “an enormous amount of activity on SPAWN” which he later describes as a “seismic event”. While promoting the very good INVISIBLE MAN film, which was likely the last film any of us saw in theaters, Blum spoke in very excited terms about SPAWN’s chances of happening. Now people who actually make films are getting in on the action. It’s not just Todd McFarlane anymore, either. And not even a global pandemic can harm SPAWN’s fake it ‘till you make it optimism. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
