Spawn ready to return to screens
Back in 2011, Todd McFarlane admitted that he was writing the script for the reboot of Spawn . A couple of years later, the artist told the press that he dreamed of starting filming the tape in 2014, but since then there has been no news about the project. In an interview for ComicBook McFarlane told reporters that the reboot text is finally ready, and that he intends to launch the film later this year.“I finished writing the script and am currently editing it. So far I've got 183 pages, but producers prefer slightly smaller texts. I plan to find support in Hollywood and start casting shortly ”, - said McFarlane . Also, Todd noted that he himself intends to lead the shooting of the reboot, the budget of which will not exceed reasonable numbers. If this happens, the new film about Spawn will be the directorial debut for McFarlane .  The original was released in 1997, and is based on a comic strip, the creator of which is McFarlane himself.In the story, Al Simmons makes a deal with the devil to return to the world of the living and meet again his beloved wife Wanda . However, for his part, Simmons undertakes to lead the army of Hell during Armageddon . In the years when comic-book films were not wildly popular, Spawn earned $ 87 million at the worldwide box office with a budget of $ 40 million , and after being released on video, the picture acquired the status of a cult. Although McFarlane chose not to disclose the details of the reboot plot, he nevertheless noted that the new project is strikingly different from its predecessor.  “I would categorize the reboot as a supernatural horror genre, as if the Renegades were united in one movie; and Paranormal Activity. The premise is the appearance of the demon, which you and I know as Spawn . He won't look the way he did in the 1997 movie, and he won't fight any supervillain. The main character is just a ghost ", - said the artist. If the shooting of the reboot really begins this year, then next year the film will be released. Interestingly, 20 years have passed since the original premiere. The Topic of Article: Spawn ready to return to screens. |
