that's sweet. so it's like he's starting a horror movie based on the character where he stays in the shadows, which will be fuckin' awesome, especially for Spawn, but then, if you actually want to learn anything about what Spawn is, his origin and the nature of his curse, then you have a whole history of comics to delve into, which will open up a whole other part of him which you can understand while watching the films! THAT'S SUCH AN AWESOME, EPIC IDEA!!!! can't wait for this movie!!!

oops. i meant "horror movie franchise".

Still think it should be animated.

Spawn won't talk??? This can't be good.

I thought the first one was good when it came out there was no other movie like it.I really don't like the idea of him not speaking. But fuck it I'm sure Mcfarlane knows wut he's doing. Can't wait

I have a feeling it's gunna be major suckage

naw man, you guys are looking at it the whole wrong way. he's trying to make an artistic horror movie vision of spawn, kind of like what normal people and his victims would see him as since he's always in the shadows lurking, watching. but, then when you wanna know who the person behind those shadows really is, you go back to the comics and start from the beginning and follow that whole journey, and discover it goes beyond just "Spawn" and it's a curse that's lasted for centuries and there's been many hellspawns, and that opens it up to the whole spawn universe. i think it's an awesome way to approach the movie scene, cause it's an original idea, and has potential of really kicking some major ass and being violent, brooding, gritty, and sick... just like how spawn was created and how he should've been portrayed on film in the first place! i thought the original spawn film sucked compared to what he is in the comics, and didn't do spawn or todd mcfarlane any justice at all. but, it's good he's looking back at it that it was a victim of it's time, and sort of like a test run... just like, "what happened with the original Fantastic Four movie" as it was said in the BD post. seriously guys, i think this is an awesomely innovative way of thinking for todd to proceed with the spawn films... and you guys should be excited too for the possibilities! have an open mind about it...

I don't know what Todd is thinking but hopefully is works. It sounds like it won't be any good to someone who knows everything about Spawn. How can he go without Clown? How can he go without anything that makes sense in the Spawn world? "Think of the Godfather with the boogyman in it" ? I think Todd is slightly out of his mind. I agree with the whole lurking the shadows thing but that gets boring when you use it the whole time. What do I know though I guess I'll have to wait and see. That is if this thing even gets made.
