When Todd McFarlane started making noise about not only doing a “Spawn 2″, doing it on his own dime, and in his own way, in 2007: you had to think, “Yeah, okay, maybe it’ll work.” Then came this interview with MTV, where Todd gets a little crazy with the “idea” stuff. First of all, Todd’s idea is that Spawn will barely be seen in the movie, and that it would be more about other, ordinary people who come into contact with him. Spawn, basically, would become a sort of boogeyman who will show up occasionally to do bad things to bad people or something to that effect.
Todds response towards Spawn 2:
The story that I have in my head is as real as possible. However, there’s this one element that just isn’t real. But everything else … you could be watching “L.A. Confidential” or “The Godfather” and you just put this little boogeyman in it “” a moving shadow “” and how does that change those movies, given everything else is real?
So there are not going to be any villains or bad guys. There's not going to be any of that. It’s just going to be this one odd thing in the middle of a very realistic movie. I’m not trying to do a comic book movie. I don’t have that much money. So I need to do a movie where people just go: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool.” And all of a sudden now and then, something happens and you go: “What the hell was that?"
He goes on with MTV, and it just sounds…Okay. Maybe Todd has it all figured out and can get it done on a budget with what he has in mind. I don’t know. Plus, Todd has mentioned that he plans to write and direct this “reboot” of the franchise, too, which has me a little nervous. But who knows until it actually happens...right?
Thanks for reading.
Please post comments for the story and on the picture...because I put the picture together myself.
