Todd McFarlane He is one of the great creative minds of our time, creator of characters like Venom and Spawn, one of the founders of Image Comics and McFarlane Toys. Despite his success in so many areas, it has not been easy for him to make a new Spawn movie, a battle for years in which he currently feels “more confident”, as he revealed to ComicBook in an interview. . A film that hopes to put ‘Spawn’ in the place it deserves, far from the forgettable 1997 film, a time when comic book adaptations to the big screen were not so common and, in its case, was far from doing any good for the antihero.
Scott Silver screenwriter nominated for an Oscar on multiple occasions, is part of the project and in the interview McFarlane talks about the expectations of finding a studio before the month of October: “There is a script, but the scriptwriters are not entirely satisfied with their own work, which It’s what happens to all creatives. We put it on paper and then criticize ourselves. So they are revising and rewriting it thoroughly. A couple of days ago I spoke on the phone with Scott Silver, the guy who’s directing right now. He is also the screenwriter of ‘Joker’ and ‘Joker 2′. “We’re all planning and waiting and moving towards getting this done so we can get it out and we can finally find our studio before ‘Joker 2’ releases in October.”

During the interview, Todd McFarlane continued talking about renowned screenwriter Scott Silver and the high hopes he has for the ‘Spawn’ movie: “I wish everyone could hear the conversation because he is so passionate about what he’s talking about. . He’s so absorbed in what he’s doing… It’s not like he’s saying, “I’m just trying to do it.” It’s not a story of good versus bad… The other day he said, “I’d rather take a hit and have it be too big than not hit hard enough.” He’s a little fearless and he doesn’t want to repeat what he knows is the safe, probably predictable path that most people would follow.”
