SPAWN producer Jason Blum confirms the film will be released in 2025

Jason Blum he confirmed it with certainty Todd McFarlaneIt’s a long-awaited novelty To produce will be released in 2025. During a recent press conference for The Exorcist: BelieverBlum was asked about the film and said:

“2025 is the year Spawn comes out. I confirm. I support it.”

This movie has been in development for years, so I’ll believe it when I see it. Of course, I would love to see McFarlane’s vision for this Spawn movie come to life! I’ve been a fan of this character since he was first introduced! But damn… McFarlane has been talking about this for a hundred years! At least, that’s what it seems like.

Over the years several drafts of a screenplay have been written, the most recent version was developed by Scott Silver, Malcolm SpellmanAND Matteo Mixon. During a previous interview, McFarlane said he was only 30 pages away from completing the script before the writers’ strike.

“We were in the middle of writing the script and then the writers’ strike hit. So, basically, it came to an abrupt end, if you will. But they were pretty far along, so I assume they gave it a lot of thought during the strike. They know what to write, the last 30 pages, that’s all they need to finish. So as soon as the strike ends, I assume they’ll quickly let’s finish it. We’ll do some rewrites. We’ll go to Hollywood. We’ll find a buyer, maybe we’ll find a couple of buyers, we’ll get into a bidding war. And then we’ll come back out and make the announcement that says, ‘We’ve got the funding, the studio and the production date ready. It’s time to go.'”

Well, the writers’ strike is over, so the script can finally be completed. McFarlane went on to say:

“We were hoping, barring the strike, that this would happen this summer, this fall at the latest. That we would be able to do that, in a perfect world, I would get the movie and the news on Call of Duty at New York Comic Con. And there would only be one, two, and we would own the news cycle at New York Comic Con. But Spawn coming to Call of Duty will still be a gigantic piece in itself. It’s just, hopefully, in quick order, if we can follow it up with some movie noise, then it will keep the ball rolling.”

Jamie Foxx is still attached to the film after all these years and, speaking of Foxx’s involvement, McFarlane said:

“As long as Jamie doesn’t say he can’t, he’s still my boyfriend. I’m very loyal to people, and Jamie was my boyfriend and has been my boyfriend. He had a little setback and says he will go back to the top of the mountain. I have no doubt. I know Jamie: he is a very strong-willed and determined human being. He then he says to me, “Don’t worry about me, Todd.” I’ll be there when the bell rings. I will be there.’ So I have complete and total confidence.”

McFarlane also spoke about whether it’s now or never to make his own movie and explained:

“Something’s going to give in the next few months, right? There’s too many people pushing in that direction, again I got a call later today on that very topic. You can imagine Spider-Man making a billion dollars and all in one It kind of gets a little… I mean, they were already crazy, now they’ve gone twice as crazy. I mean, they’ve gone crazy when the only movies that made money were superhero ones, and then Venom took the plunge, and then Spider-Man comes and obliterates it, so now they’re almost unique in their mindset about the kind of ideas they have. So something has to happen. We’ll never get to the top of the mountain if we can’t do it now, with everyone wanting to do it now. Fingers crossed. I’d say it’s now or never.”

The film was previously described as “Spawn meets David Fincher” and a “bloody” and “dirty thing”. Speaking previously about his take on the story, McFarlane explained:

“There are two important roles in the script. There’s obviously kind of Spawn himself, although strangely enough he’s not the most important role, and then there’s the cop. The cop is this Twitch character who’s been around since issue #1 Twitch is the role in this, and I kind of refer to him as my Sheriff Brody, who is the sheriff in the movie Jaws. Even though he was called Jaws, Jaws didn’t talk much in his movie, right? He just showed up at the right time to make the movie worthwhile.”

McFarlane previously confirmed that the film will be rated R and that the script he wrote is “scary and “badass.” He described Spawn as the movie’s Jaws, saying: “The world will be real, except for one thing that happens . move. You’ll never see a guy in a rubber suit… This will be my Jaws shark.”

He explained his vision for the character, describing him as the boogeyman, and also shared some of the things we won’t see in the film: “In the background, there’s this thing moving, this boogeyman. That boogeyman It just seems to be something that you and I, intellectually, know Spawn is. Is he going to look the same as he did in the first movie? No. Is he going to have a supervillain that he fights? No. Is it going to be the wraith, the ghost.”

Producer Jason Blum he also previously said of the project: “What excited me is that Spawn is kind of the last great untapped comic book. So it seemed like an amazing opportunity. It took longer than I hoped to get the story right, but we’re still working on it.” Blum also said that the reboot “is going to be very different, it’s going to be very edgy.”

I’m curious to see how it will end.
