Spawn is a 1997 American superhero film based on the comic book character of the same name. Directed and co-written by Mark A.Z. Dippé, the film stars Michael Jai White in the title role, and is one of the first films to feature an African American actor portraying a major comic book superhero.[6][7]Spawn depicts the origin story of the title character, beginning with the murder of soldier Al Simmons. He is resurrected as Spawn, the reluctant, demonic leader of Hell's army. He ultimately refuses to lead the army in the war against Heaven and turns away from evil. The film co-stars John Leguizamo (as The Violator, Al's demonic guide) and Nicol Williamson (as Al's mentor, Cogliostro) in his final film role. Martin Sheen, Theresa Randle, D. B. Sweeney, Melinda Clarke, and Frank Welker also star in the film.

Plot[edit]

Special forces agent and black operativeAl Simmons is assigned by his superior, Jason Wynn, to infiltrate a biochemical weapons plant in North Korea, despite Simmons' growing moral qualms with the nature of his work. Unknown to Simmons, Wynn has ordered his top assassin Jessica Priest to murder him while he is on the mission. After Simmons dies, he is set on fire by Wynn and the flames cause the plant to explode. Simmons arrives in Hell, where one of the rulers of Hell - Malebolgia - offers him a Faustian deal: if Simmons becomes his eternal servant and leader of his army in Armageddon, he will be able to return to Earth to see his fiancée, Wanda Blake. Simmons accepts the offer and returns to Earth.

Upon his return, Simmons learns that five years have passed since his death. Wanda is now married to his best friend Terry Fitzgerald, who is living as the father to Al's daughter Cyan. Soon Simmons encounters a clown-like demon named Violator, sent by Malebolgia, who acts as Simmons's guide down the path to evil. He also meets a mysterious old man named Cogliostro, a fellow Hellspawn, who has successfully freed his soul and now fights for Heaven. Simmons learns that Wynn, who is now a weapons dealer, has developed a biological weapon called Heat 16. During a reception, Spawn attacks Wynn, kills Jessica, and escapes with the help of his necroplasm armor.

Following the attack by Simmons, Violator convinces Wynn to have a device attached to his heart that will release Heat 16 worldwide if his vital signs flatline as a deterrent against assassination attempts. However, Malebolgia wants Simmons to kill Wynn and initiate the apocalypse. Spawn confronts Violator, who turns into his demonic form and beats Al down. Cogliostro rescues Al and teaches him how to use his necroplasm armor. Simmons learns that Violator and Wynn are going to kill Terry, Cyan, and Wanda.

Terry sends an email incriminating Wynn to a fellow newsman. Just as the email is sent, Cyan and Wynn enter the room. Wynn destroys Terry's computer and takes the family hostage. Spawn arrives and nearly kills Wynn, but Al extracts the device from Wynn's body instead and destroys it. With his plan foiled, Violator sends Spawn and Cogliostro to Hell, where they both battle the demon before subduing him. Spawn is then confronted by Malebolgia, who tells Spawn that he will never lead Hell's army. Spawn escapes with Cogliostro just before they are overwhelmed by Malebolgia's forces. Violator, having recovered, follows them. A final battle ensues, ending with Spawn decapitating the demon with his chains. Violator's head taunts the group and threatens his return before melting and returning to Hell. Wynn is arrested, and Spawn, realizing there is no place for him in Wanda's world anymore, dedicates himself to justice rather than succumbing to his lust for vengeance.

Production[edit]

Columbia Pictures showed interest in making a film adaptation of Spawn when the comic book was launched in 1992. Negotiations fell through as Todd McFarlane felt that the studio was not giving him enough creative control.[8] He eventually sold the film rights to New Line Cinema for $1 in exchange for creative input and merchandising rights.[2] New Line president Michael DeLuca, a comic book collector himself, expressed interest in having 'a character that has as established an audience as Spawn', while declaring that success hinged on an adaptation that 'maintains a PG-13 rating but retains its darkness.'[8]

As visual effects were an important production concern, the film was to be produced by Pull Down Your Pants Pictures, a company formed by former Industrial Light & Magic artists Mark A.Z. Dippé, Clint Goldman, and Steve 'Spaz' Williams. Dippé was slated to direct the film, with Goldman as producer, and Williams as second unit director and visual effects supervisor.[9] Dippé and Williams, who at the time was the only one of the three still attached to ILM, called the film opportunity 'our ticket out of the company'.[4] https://dorsaisatint1985.mystrikingly.com/blog/sims-4-demo-download-origin. The script would be written by Alan B. McElroy, who, along with writing the Spawn comic book, also wrote many episodes of the Todd McFarlane's Spawn animated series.[9]

Michael Jai White found Al Simmons' character appealing; he described Spawn as 'the most tragic character I've encountered in any cinematic production.' He says it was a challenge to make audiences sympathize with a government assassin who comes back from hell. White had endure two to four hours of make-up work, including a full glued-on bodysuit, yellow contact lenses that irritated his eyes, and a mask that restricted his breathing.[10] He said that his long-time experience with martial arts helped him to endure the uncomfortable prosthetics, giving him 'strong will and unbreakable concentration.'[8]

Spawn was originally green-lit with a budget of $20 million. The scale of the visual effects led New Line to continually increase the project's budget, which grew to $45 million — a third of which was spent on the effects. The shooting schedule was only 63 days. To cut production time by a week, Goldman lent $1 million to engage John Grower's Santa Barbara Studios to develop the digitally produced Hell sequences.[2] The visual effects shot count increased from 77 to over 400, created by 22 companies in the United States, Canada and Japan, requiring 70 people and nearly 11 months to complete. Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) did most of the work, creating 85 shots at a cost of $8.5 million. More than half of the final effects shots were delivered two weeks before the film's debut.[2]

The most difficult sequences to render in the film included the Violator, Spawn's digital cape, and some of Spawn's transformations.[2] Visual effects supervisor 'Spaz' Williams, with his previous experience of creating the T. Rex in Jurassic Park, was responsible for realizing the reptilian Violator. Working with KNB EFX Group over several months they created a small 24-inch reference model, as well as a full size 11-foot model for use in some of the practical shots. The small model was cut up and laser scanned, the data was then used by a team at ILM to create a digital armature of the creature, and to paint and give texture to the digital model. Only then could the character be animated, after which the work had to be converted to regular film stock. Further work was needed to integrate the footage with the rest of the scene, such as matching the lighting and grain of the other footage. The final shot of The Violator was delivered on July 21, 1997.[2] A team at ILM supervised by Christopher Hery and Habib Zargarpour modelled, animated and rendered realistic looking robes, glass elements and a computer generated Spawn. Originally intended as one long shot, the scene was later recut and extended.[11]

Differences from the comic[edit]

Terry Fitzgerald, Al Simmons' best friend before his death, is black in the comics. In the film, he is white, portrayed by D. B. Sweeney. Todd McFarlane explained that this change was made by the studio to avoid having too many black leads, as they believed this would give the false impression that film's target audience was the African American demographic.[12][13][14]

In the comics, Al Simmons' murderer was Chapel, a character created by Rob Liefeld for the comic Youngblood, while Jessica Priest, a character created for the film, took Chapel's place in the movie.[15][16]

Release[edit]

The original cut of Spawn earned an R-rating from the Motion Picture Association of America resulting in the producers toning down the violence in the film to get a PG-13 rating.[9]

Box office[edit]

Spawn was released on August 1, 1997. Download fifa 2014 for pc. It grossed $19,738,749 that opening weekend, ranking it second behind Air Force One. For its second weekend, the film dropped to number three in the box office, reflecting a decreased earnings of 54.7% and a gross of $8,949,953.[17] Based on a $45 million production budget,[2][3][4] it grossed $54,870,174 domestically and $32,969,867 internationally for a worldwide total revenue of $87,840,042.[5]

Critical response[edit]

The film received negative reviews from film critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has a score of 18% based on reviews from 45 critics, with the website's consensus stating: 'Spawn is an overbearing, over-violent film that adds little to the comic book adaptation genre.'[18] On Metacritic it has a score of 34 out of 100 based on reviews from 17 critics, indicating 'generally unfavorable reviews'.[19] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of 'C+' on an A+ to F scale.[20]

One of the few positive reviews was from Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times, who awarded the film 3½ out of 4 stars. He wrote that the film's plot was 'sappy' and little more than a set-up for some of the most innovative effects of the era, so much that Spawn verged on surrealistic art film. Ebert ended his review with 'As a visual experience, Spawn is unforgettable.'[21]Gene Siskel, his At the Movies co-host disagreed, and said the film lost him a mere two minutes after its introduction. Ebert praised the hellscape imagery and accused Siskel of being dismissive because of the genre, but having liked Batman, Siskel was unconvinced.[22] David Kaplan of Newsweek called the film 'the summer's most spectacular concoction of visual effects and color' but said that those unfamiliar with the comics might find the story difficult to follow.[23]

Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle criticized the weak story, and called the film a visual assault, 'is all about style, which will appeal to some viewers and overwhelm most others'. Of the cast LaSalle says only John Leguizamo stands out, his 'zaniness seems in tune with the action' and he is 'lucky enough to have a flashy part'.[24] Rita Kempley of The Washington Post calls the film a 'muddled revenge fantasy' and criticizes the 'nonsensical screenplay' and complains about the 'thicket of narrative, punctuated by repetitive action sequences.'[25]Todd McCarthy writing for Variety magazine criticized the film for its over-reliance on special effects. He called it 'narratively knuckleheaded', and disliked the scatological humor, and found the action sequences numbingly repetitive with 'no compensatory narrative or thematic balance'. McCarthy expected the younger male target-audience would enjoy the film, but that as the film is 'loaded with effects at the expense of character or narrative coherence' it would be a turn-off for other viewers.[3] Laura Miller of Salon.com called Spawn 'a witless exercise in reheating leftovers'. Miller called the comic character 'a rehash of Spiderman'(sic) and the film a poor man's Batman. She declares 'This movie sucks' and criticizes the special effects, compounded by the film taking itself too seriously. She is critical of the lack of dramatic structure, calling Spawn 'a film helmed by technicians' and concludes that it is a film by 'smart people pretending to be stupid'.[26]

Michael Jai White is not a fan of the film: 'There is no footage of me ever saying that I liked Spawn. I have never said that I thought that was a good movie'[27] John Leguizamo commented on the film: 'The thing that Todd McFarlane brought to the comic book industry, which he saved in the early 1990s, was the edge. The darkness, the vulgarity, the violence. I think the movie would have profited for more violence, more vulgarity and being darker. Let it be truer to the comics.'[28]

Accolades[edit]

At the Saturn Awards, Spawn was nominated for Best Make-up. The film was also nominated for three Blockbuster Entertainment Awards for Favorite Male Newcomer (Michael Jai White), Favorite Horror Supporting Actor (John Leguizamo) and Favorite Horror Supporting Actress (Theresa Randle).[29] At the Sitges - Catalan International Film Festival, Spawn was nominated for Best Film; the film was also nominated for & won the Best Special Effects award.[30]

Spawn The Album Bonus Discography

In January 2018, Complex magazine listed Spawn at number 2 out of 22, on its list of 'The Best Black Superheroes In Movies'.[31]

Home media[edit]

The film was released on VHS on May 5, 1998 in a PG-13 version and an R-rated Director's Cut version. The Director's Cut version included 45 minutes of additional footage, a 'Making of Spawn' featurette, an interview with Todd MacFarlane, a music video for '(Can't You) Trip Like I Do' performed by electronica duo The Crystal Method and featuring alternative rock group Filter, and a soundtrack promo.[32] The Director's Cut version was released on DVD on January 9, 1998[33] and on Blu-ray on July 10, 2012.[34][35]

Sequel[edit]

A sequel, tentatively titled Spawn 2, has been in development hell since 1998.[36] Producer Don Murphy maintained that he was part of the project in 2001.[37] McFarlane stated that the film would have centered primarily on the detective characters Sam and Twitch, with Spawn only as a background character.[35]

In 2007, McFarlane Funding announced development of a new feature film adaptation of the character, titled Spawn, scheduled for release in 2008.[38][39] During an interview on the Scott Ferrall show on Sirius radio, McFarlane said: 'It's coming out no matter what. Even if I have to produce, direct and finance it myself, it's going to come out.'[40]

McFarlane announced on August 23, 2009 that he had begun writing the screenplay for a new movie based on the character, saying that 'The story has been in my head for 7 or 8 years', that 'The movie idea is neither a recap or continuation. It is a standalone story that will be R-rated. Creepy and scary', and that 'the tone of this Spawn movie will be for a more older audience. Like the film The Departed.'[41] Michael Jai White said in July 2011 that he was interested in returning to the role, expressing his support for McFarlane's film.[42] In July 2013, Jamie Foxx said he was 'aggressively pursuing' the Spawn reboot.[43] In August 2013, McFarlane discussed his progress with the script, stating that the film would be 'more of a horror movie and a thriller movie, not a superhero one'.[44]

In February 2016, McFarlane announced he had completed the film's script.[45] In July 2017, Blumhouse Productions confirmed their involvement with the film, while announcing that McFarlane had also signed on to direct the project.[46] The movie was expected to begin production by February 2018.[47] In May 2018, it was announced that Jamie Foxx would portray the titular character.[48] In July 2018, it was reported that Jeremy Renner would be starring alongside Foxx as Detective Twitch.[49] On October 25, 2018, the filming start date was delayed to June 2019.[50]

Legacy[edit]

Spawn is one of the first films to feature an African American actor portraying a major comic book superhero.[6][7][68]Although preceded by other black superhero films such as The Meteor Man (1993), Spawn was the first to be based on a major comic book. Steel starring NBA basketball player Shaquille O'Neal based on a DC character, was also released later in the same month as Spawn. Writing in 2018, Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail was critical of the fact that Michael Jai White was barely seen, and his face hidden by a mask or prosthetics.[69]Unlike Blade (1998) which came later and was promoted based on the popularity of action star Wesley Snipes and happened to be based on a comic, Spawn was promoted based on the popularity of the McFarlane comic. Film critic Scott Mendelson says that Spawn and other films not only paved the way for films such as Black Panther but that success of Black Panther represents a return to the status quo.[70]

Spawn is a 1997 American supernaturalhorrorsuperherocult film based on the comic book character of the same name, written by Todd McFarlane and published by Image Comics. Directed and co-written by Mark A.Z. Dippé, the film stars Michael Jai White in the title role, and is the first film to feature an African American portraying a major comic book superhero.[3]Spawn depicts the origin story of the title character, beginning with the murder of soldier/assassin Al Simmons. He is resurrected as Spawn, the reluctant, demonic leader of Hell's army. He ultimately refuses to lead Hell's army in the war against Heaven and turns away from evil. The film co-stars John Leguizamo as Clown/The Violator, Al's demonic guide and the film's antagonist; and Nicol Williamson as Al's mentor Cogliostro. It was Williamson's final film appearance before his death on December 16, 2011. Martin Sheen, Theresa Randle, D. B. Sweeney, Melinda Clarke, and Frank Welker (as the voice of Malebolgia) also star in the film.

Spawn was released in the United States on August 1, 1997.

Plot

Al Simmons (Michael Jai White) is a special forces agent and black ops soldier. Jason Wynn (Martin Sheen), head of the covert government agency for which Simmons works, assigns him to infiltrate a biochemical weapons plant in North Korea. Unbeknownst to Simmons, Wynn has ordered his top assassin, Jessica Priest (Melinda Clarke), to murder him while he is on his mission. After Simmons dies in a gas fire, he arrives in Hell, where the demon king Malebolgia (Frank Welker), offers him a Faustian deal: if Simmons becomes his eternal servant and leader of his army in Armageddon, he will be able to return to Earth to see his fiancée, Wanda Blake. Simmons accepts the offer and returns to Earth.

Upon his return, Simmons learns that five years have passed since his death. Wanda is now married to his best friend, Terry Fitzgerald (D.B. Sweeney) and is living as the father to his daughter, Cyan. Soon Simmons encounters a clown-like demon named the Violator (John Leguizamo), sent by Malebolgia, who acts as Simmons' guide down the path to evil. He also meets a mysterious old man named Cogliostro (Nicol Williamson): a fellow Hellspawn who has successfully freed his soul and now fights for Heaven. Simmons learns that Wynn, now a high-end weapons dealer, has developed what he calls the ultimate biological weapon, Heat 16. During a reception, Simmons, as Spawn, attacks Wynn, kills Jessica, and escapes with the help of his necroplasm armor.

Following Simmons' attack, the Violator convinces Wynn to have a device attached to his heart that will trigger the worldwide release of Heat 16 should his vital signs flatline, under the guise of it being a safeguard against assassination attempts. However, Malebolgia actually wants Simmons to kill Wynn and initiate the apocalypse. Spawn confronts the Violator, who turns into his demonic form and beats him down. Cogliostro rescues him and teaches him how to use his necroplasm armor before Simmons learns that Clown and Wynn are going to kill Terry, Cyan, and Wanda.

Meanwhile, Terry has just finished emailing a fellow newsman who sent him evidence exposing Wynn. After the transmission, Cyan enters the room, with Wynn right behind her. Wynn destroys Terry's computer and takes the family hostage. When Spawn arrives, he ends up almost killing Wynn, despite his warning that his death will launch the Heat 16 bombs. Only after realizing that Wynn's death would ultimately mean the death of Cyan does Spawn relent. Instead, Spawn extracts the device from Wynn's body and destroys it. His plans foiled, Violator draws Spawn and Cogliostro into Hell, where they both battle the demon before subduing him. Spawn is then confronted by Malebolgia, and tells him that he will never lead Hell's army. Spawn escapes with Cogliostro just before they are overwhelmed by Malebolgia's forces. The Violator, having recovered, follows them. A final battle ensues, ending with Spawn decapitating the demon with his chains. The Violator's head taunts the group and threatens his return before melting and returning to Hell. Wynn is arrested, and Spawn, realizing there is no place for him in Wanda's world anymore, dedicates himself to justice rather than succumbing to his lust for vengeance.

Production

Columbia Pictures showed interest in making a film adaptation of Spawn when the comic book was launched in 1992. Negotiations eventually fell through as Todd McFarlane felt the studio was not giving him enough creative control.[4] McFarlane eventually sold the film rights to New Line Cinema for $1 in exchange for creative input and merchandising rights.[5] New Line president Michael DeLuca, a comic book collector himself, expressed interest in having 'a character that has as established an audience as Spawn', while declaring that success hinged on an adaptation that 'maintains a PG-13 rating but retains its darkness.'[4]

As visual effects were the main concern of production, the film was to be produced by Pull Down Your Pants Pictures, a company formed by three former Industrial Light & Magic artists: Mark A.Z. Dippé, Clint Goldman and Steve 'Spaz' Williams. Dippé was slated to direct the film, with Goldman as producer, and Williams as second unit director and visual effects supervisor.[6] Dippé and Williams, who at the time was the only one of the three still attached to ILM, have called the film opportunity 'our ticket out of the company'.[7] The script would be written by Alan B. McElroy, who, along with writing the Spawn comic book, also wrote many episodes of the Todd McFarlane's Spawn animated series.[6]

Michael Jai White found Al Simmons' character appealing; he described Spawn as 'the most tragic character I've encountered in any cinematic production.' He says it was a challenge to make audiences sympathize with a government assassin who comes back from hell. White had endure two to four hours of make-up work, including a full glued-on bodysuit, yellow contact lenses that irritated his eyes, and a mask that restricted his breathing.[8] He said that his long-time experience with martial arts helped him endure the uncomfortable prosthetics, giving him 'strong will and unbreakable concentration.'[4]

Spawn was originally green-lit with a budget of $20 million. The scale of the visual effects led New Line to continually increase the project budget, which grew to $40 million—a third of which was spent on the effects. The shooting schedule was only 63 days. To cut production times by a week, Goldman lent $1 million to engage John Grower's Santa Barbara Studios to develop the digitally produced Hell sequences.[5] The visual effects shot count increased from 77 to over 400, created by 22 companies in the United States, Canada and Japan,[9] requiring 70 people and nearly 11 months to complete. ILM did most of the work, creating 85 shots at a cost of $8.5 million. The most difficult sequences in the film to render included the Violator, Spawn's digital cape, and some of Spawn's transformations.[5][10] More than half of the final effects shots were delivered two weeks before the film's debut.[5]

Differences from the comic

The theatrical version of Spawn has several differences from the comics continuity. Terry Fitzgerald, Al Simmons' best friend before his death, is black in the comics. In the film, he is white, portrayed by D. B. Sweeney. Todd McFarlane explained that this change was made by the studio to avoid having too many black leads, as they believed this would give the false impression that films target audience was the African American demographic.[citation needed] In the comics, Cyan is Terry's daughter. However, in the movie, she is Al's daughter. In the film, Wanda was engaged to Al prior to his death whereas in the comics the two were married.

Double Dash Bonus Disc

In the comics, Al Simmons' murderer was Chapel, a character created by Rob Liefeld for the comic Youngblood, while Jessica Priest, a character created for the film, took Chapel's place in the story.[11] After the film's release, Priest was introduced into the comics and made Al Simmons' murderer in place of Chapel.[citation needed] In the film, Simmons worked for an agency called A6 while in the comics he worked for the CIA.

The nature of Spawn's powers were also altered. While Cogliostro warns Spawn that he will die if his powers are drained, no reference is ever made to Spawn possessing a 'counter' like he did in the comics.

Release

The original cut of Spawn earned an R-rating from the Motion Picture Association of America. This led to the producers toning down the violence in the film to get a PG-13.[6]

Box office

Spawn was released on August 1, 1997. It grossed $19,738,749 that opening weekend, ranking it second place behind Air Force One. For its second weekend, the film dropped to number three in the box office, reflecting a decreased earnings of 54.7% and a gross of $8,949,953.[12] The film was considered a modest box-office success. Based on a $40 million budget, it grossed $54,870,174 domestically and $32,969,867 overseas for a worldwide total revenue of $87,840,042.[2]

Critical response

The film received negative reviews from film critics. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film is rated at 19% on the Tomatometer, based on 42 reviews with the consensus: 'Spawn is an overbearing, over-violent film that adds little to the comic book adaptation genre.'[13] It holds a score of 34 out of 100 from 17 critics on Metacritic indicating generally unfavorable reviews.[14] One of the few positive reviews was from Roger Ebert, who awarded the film 3½ out of 4 stars. He ended his review with 'As a visual experience, Spawn is unforgettable.'[15]

Accolades

At the Saturn Awards, Spawn was nominated for Best Make-up.[citation needed] The film was also nominated for three Blockbuster Entertainment Awards for 'Favorite Male Newcomer' (Michael Jai White), 'Favorite Horror Supporting Actor' (John Leguizamo) and 'Favorite Horror Supporting Actress' (Theresa Randle).[citation needed] At the Sitges - Catalonian International Film Festival, Spawn was nominated for Best Film; the film was also nominated for & won the Best Special Effects award.[citation needed]

Spawn The Album Soundtrack

Both the PG-13 and the R-rated Director's Cut versions of the film were released on VHS on May 5, 1998.[16] The Director's Cut was released on DVD on January 9, 1998 and on Blu-ray on July 10, 2012.[17][18]

Sequel

A sequel, tentatively titled Spawn 2, has been in development hell since 1998.[19][20][21]Michael Jai White confirmed that he was part of the project in 2001, as did producer Don Murphy,[22][23] though their involvements were not confirmed. McFarlane has stated that the film will center primarily on the detective characters Sam and Twitch, leaving Spawn without a speaking part.[20][21] During a FanboyRadio.com interview, McFarlane confirmed that the sequel would be a franchise reboot, similar to Batman Begins and both the 2004 version of The Punisher and 2008's Punisher: War Zone.[24]

In 2007, plans were made for McFarlane Funding to make a new Spawn film, scheduled for release in 2008.[25] The film would be called Spawn, according to Home Media Magazine.[26] While a guest on the Scott Ferrall show on Sirius radio, a caller asked if McFarlane had any plans to do the sequel. McFarlane said 'It's coming out no matter what. Even if I have to produce, direct and finance it myself, it's going to come out.'[citation needed]

It was announced in August 2009 that McFarlane had officially begun writing the screenplay for a new movie based on the character. 'The story has been in my head for 7 or 8 years', McFarlane said. 'The movie idea is neither a recap or continuation. It is a standalone story that will be R-rated. Creepy and scary'. He added that 'the tone of this Spawn movie will be for older audiences. It's not going to be a giant budget with a lot of special effects; it's going to be more of a horror movie and a thriller movie, not a superhero one.[27] Like the film The Departed'.[28] On March 31, 2011, Todd McFarlane said that he was three quarters through the script with a planned budget of around $10 million, and that it would feature no supervillains.[citation needed]Michael Jai White said in July 2011 that he was interested in returning to the role for the next film: 'I hope [McFarlane] does [make the film]. In the next couple years I might have to produce it myself. It's a no-brainer. Look at how these movies have done, superhero movies that have gone dark, and there hasn't been one darker than Spawn. If we do it like we want to, it could be a game changer. I think Todd feels the same way as me — that we go R. Not a kinder, gentler Spawn, we go straight R — like pushing it, pushing NC-17. Give the fans what they expect. That edge brought [the comic book] to where it is. I would really like to show what that character can be.'[29] In February 2013, McFarlane revealed to MTV Geek that he was still working on the script and a new animated series, and also mentioned that an Academy Award winning actor had shown interest for the part of Spawn, but did not reveal his name at the time.[30] In July 2013, Jamie Foxx said he was 'aggressively pursuing' the Spawn reboot.[31]

Spawn The Album Bonus Disc 2017

In August 2013, McFarlane hoped to start shooting in 2014, with the studio wanting a draft of his script by December.[32] On October 10, 2013, McFarlane revealed to Assignment X that he wanted the film to be an R-rated supernatural thriller without the superhero elements associated with Spawn.[33]
