Could a Spawn Reboot be on the way? Hear what Todd McFarlane has planned after the break!

Hey Guys I'm Chelsea Cannell thanks for tuning in to Clevver Movies!

Back in 1997 Spawn opened to mixed reviews which eventually lead to lackluster VHS and DVD Sales. It's not that the fan base wasn't there, because Spawn fans are very loyal, or that the movie was bad because it definitely wasn't, it's more that people just didn't totally get it...or at least the majority didn't.

But now just, some 14 years later, Todd McFarlane, the creator of the supernatural comic which spawn is based on is ready for the reboot. McFarlane has already gotten to work on writing the screenplay and is reportedly hope to make a dark, low budget action film similar to Alien and Jaws!

Don't expect some special effect movie featuring a super villain though, that's not what McFarlane is going for. He's apparently more into an urban psychological story with a small budget and a main character who doesn't talk but is more of a force of nature...that of course would be spawn...or "it" as McFarlane calls him/her/it. Whatever.

He seems to be getting some push back though from Hollywood types who can't quite wrap their head around a main character who doesn't speak. But that's where McFarlane points to both Alien and Jaws as seriously successful films who implemented the same strategy.

Other than that he just wants to create a movie that gets people's hearts racing, and is scary instead of super. Which means no batman, no spiderman, and nothing to avenge or be the captain of. Just pure creepiness. Like, in McFarlane's words, a batman who kills the Joker!

Awesome. I'm In, but are you? Let us know what you think in the comment section below and don't forget to subscribe to our channel to find out all the latest in the world of film!

i think they should keep it more like the comic--they didn't in the first one---and they should bring in a shit load of spawn's villians all at once---no mute spawn---he's gotta tell the clown to f-off

If they're going to bring back Spawn, they better make it a Kick-Ass movie. And not some reject.

I think the fact of the matter here is, Todd doesn't have the money he used have, for a high end special effects movie WITH substance this time around. So...he makes a decision to play within his financial strength and thinks that by doing it the way Jaws did it or Aliens, mind you, MANY years ago.... that this new Spawn might be a bigger success...

Personally... I think Todd is completely ignoring the problem. Fans WANT SPAWN. Not mute spawn. Not shadows spawn. AL SIMMONS SPAWN. Come on Todd.

i hope there is another spawn coming out, i would like to see it done right this time, do it like the comics and the cartoons, thats what everybody wants to see.

WTF? Low budget and mute main character? this is a movie, not a video-game, the character can't be mute! It would automatically make the first movie better, since it has all those cool effects (even for that time), and the character speaks at least! The only flaws of the first movie for me was that the story was a bit confusing, and wasn't engaging enough, since it needed more character development.
