Status Update on New Spawn Movie

Todd McFarlane has been discussing a new Spawn movie for a while now, but during a recent interview, he says that production could begin next year. McFarlane spoke with The Gate at Fan Expo over the weekend and he had plenty to say about the status of the project:

via The Gate: “The reality is that I’ve got a lot of pressure. They want me to deliver the script by the end of the year, which would basically mean we’d be shooting next year. So, that’s the goal right now....

...The thing that keeps slowing it down is that the negotiation I’ve done is I write, produce, direct, but I’ve got to push a lot of my other endeavours off to the side so I can just get tunnel vision on it. And so everybody at my company is now going, ‘We’ve got to find Todd the time to finish all this'...

...I think it’s a quick shoot. 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. I’ve got so many people phoning now that I’ve got to get it done. I’ve made some promises to people this year.”

Keep in mind that nothing is set in stone, so don't get too excited yet. As soon as anything is officially announced, we'll be sure to let Daily Dead readers know.
