Talk about wishful thinking, Todd McFarlane, creator of the comic book series Spawn, told MTV that he pictures Leonardo DiCaprio In lead role for the new feature film adaptation. "The main character isn’t Spawn, per se, it’s the guy chasing Spawn,” McFarlane explained. “And I’ve always had [Leonardo] DiCaprio in the back of my mind.” He hints that he'd love to have DiCaprio play one of the two detectives (Sam and Twitch), who might be changed slightly for the execs. You can read all about it by clicking the link above or below.

It's funny because about 2 months ago I got into watching all the HBO Spawn cartoon episodes on youtube; & I remembered how good that show used to be. The 1st Spawn movie was garbage. Although I thought the 2 main actors playing Spawn & the Clown did a good job, the movie itself was far too "comedyish" for my taste; like Batman movie w/ G Clooney & Arnold. If McFarlane get a serious script along with good actors he might be able to make 'Spawn' a selling franchise like "Batman Begins & Dark Knight" did for the original flopped out Batman franchise.

DiCaprio? ugh. He dosn't even fit, let alone I doubt he'd do it. Here's an idea do the movie like the HBO show; no tweeks, no nothing. Sick of every time comics or video games get converted into movies someone always feels they have to tweak the characters and story. Keep the fucken story and characters how they original where.

they're not remaking anything this is more based off the comics then anything so STOP YOUR BITCHING! This is McFarlane We're talking about here you know the guy who made Spawn! the guy who made the twisted fairy tales line and X mas line! he can do the story right and DiCaprio is a damn good actor look at the departed and even though it was long and boring look at Titanic and if you want emotional look at Glibert Grape

Sam and twitch are lame, boring characters...Stick with the flippin Al'Simmons! You can't put spawn in the story just as a sub-character, thats bullshit.
