Todd McFarlane makes fun of Big Spawn Movie News, confirms the time sequence of the director’s announcement

It was a long way to the Spawn Film, but creator Todd McFarlane I just dropped a promising update during an interview with Comicbook at the San Diego Comic-Con. The project, which fans have been waiting for for years, seems to move towards an important milestone and involves a director of list A.

McFarlane opened on the frustrations of making the film take off and because this time he feels different:

“I have talked about it for seven years and it seems that there is always an impediment that is frustrating and to a certain extent, I know I have frustrated my wife. It is like, ‘stop talking about it, just do it’ and I think it’s right.

“I think the fans are the same way. What I will say is that we are still moving. I went and I met a director, we want to sign them, they gave me the numbers last week, we gave them, hopefully, signs it.”

So, there is already a contract for a McFarlane director calls a talent of the list A. But fans should not expect an immediate announcement. The creator explained that he wants to do things differently this time:

“I don’t think we will announce when it signs. I think what we will do is announce when we have the script and we have the buyer. Instead of doing what I did before, every time we take someone, I announce it, it is only sold with this director, writer, these people attacked as actors, boom, boom, boom, this is what we will do,” would be that.

“But the contract came out literally last week. I’m here to tell you that it is an a[-list] director, from my point of view. I go, “Wow”, we continue to become lucky with Spawn. The people who are enthusiastic about it are people who are in the higher level, from my point of view, so it’s like, ‘Wow. Ok, nice. ‘So we’ll see. “

McFarlane also reassured fans of the fact that Blumhouse Productions remains fully committed to giving life to Spawn:

“Once again, the crossed fingers, also wants to do something disturbing. We are only jibing. I should receive a pit stop from him here in the next month and when we do it, then the script goes and I hope to sign anything. We will see.

“But we constantly try to advance that thing. We didn’t stop. It’s constantly. And if you talk to Jason [Blum]He too and his crew are pushing him, right? They want this thing to happen as much as me. “

As for the title? The great revelation of last year of King Spawn As a working title, he had an ongoing conversation, but McFarlane says that it is not definitive and not based on the comic series with the same name:

“It is probably just a working title. I think it is beautiful. It is strong. The fact is that it was a way for us to say that we would not be alone and felt only by calling it Vecchia Spawn Spawn that would go, oh, this is only a restart and, and repeat.

“So I don’t know if that would be the final title or anything else. You have to free things and let yourself go and all those other things. But it was only a way to separate it, at least for us internally only to say, hey, this is our version that is different from that decades ago.”

But the Spawn The film is alive and creeping closer to reality, with an A-List director in The Horizon and Blumhouse that pushes in the round. If things go according to the floors, McFarlane could finally report her anti -hero hell on the big screen in a way in which fans were waiting for.

Jamie Foxx It is still linked to Restario in the film and the script was written by Matt Mixon, Malcolm Spellman (Falcon and The Winter Soldier), AND Scott Silver (Joker).

McFarlane previously made fun of: “Dead Pool it is a fun R. something similar Joker 2 It is a serious R. Our movie will be super serious, dark and gritty. Sometimes it will be a heavy movie.

“If you like serious drama, with significant themes that are relevant and that could also a reflection of the world in which we live, then this has many of those elements in it.”

The film was previously described as “Spawn Meets David Fincher”And a” gritty “and” dirty thing “. When previously he spoke of his opinion on history.

McFarlane explained: “There are two large roles in the script. Obviously there is a sort of generation alone, even if in a strange way it is not the most important role, and then there is the policeman.

“The policeman is this Twitch character who was there from number 1. Twitch is the role in this, and I am referring to him as my sheriff Brody, which is the sheriff in the film Jaws.

“Even if it was called JawJaws didn’t speak much in his film, right? It presented itself only at the appropriate time to make the film useful “.

I hope this turns out to be a fantastic movie!
