After years of talking up the screenplay for his adaptation of his creation, Spawn, Todd McFarlane has finally finished it, saying:
“I’ve finished the script, and I’m in the process of editing. It’s 183 pages, and [producers] usually like 120. I still think it’s going to end up being about 140, because I’m putting in details for myself.”
McFarlane is looking to direct the film himself and wants to keep the film at a modest budget stating: I want to keep it small, keep it tight, so they'll let me direct it! While mentioning that he's hoping to start production in 2016: I need to get him back up on the big screen again to make him relevant in a big way, which we will do. If McFarland wants to make this a possibly, I think going the way of Deadpool with a hard-R and $50 mil+ budget would make the prospect of a reboot a reality seeing as Deadpool is killing it at the box office.
The only thing now is, who would produce the film? What studio would be willing to distribute the film, and what actor do you see portraying Spawn himself?
What do you think of McFarland writing the screenplay and lobbying to direct? Sounds off below!
