Spawn 2 is the sequel/remake of the original Spawn film based on the hit comic series by Todd McFarlane. The movie has been bumped to a 2013 release , and is no longer a 2011 movie.
The film is still in the very early stages of development, so little is known of the specific story, but the basic plot elements from the comic should appear. So a mercenary will be killed, become the reluctant helper of the devil, return to earth and kick all kinds of butt while looking cool.
Trailer
Nope.
The Scoop
Creator Todd McFarlane has said that he wishes to make the film himself, with as little studio involvement as possible. Apparently, he looks at Kick-Ass as a model for Spawn. Forget the studio backing, find the budget yourself, and make the film without compromising. He wants to keep the budget low, only around $20 million, and write, direct, and produce the film himself. Sounds like a winning formula.
Who’s It For?
If he does it himself, it’ll more than likely be R.
Pictures
Just imagine all those drawings you did on the back of your 7th grade notebook, but a lot prettier.
Movie Release Date
No word yet, but we no its no longer a 2011 release and is now slated for a 2013 opening.
Who’s In It?
Here’s hoping he gets John Leguizamo back!
Interesting Fact
Spawn is one of the main reasons for the success of Image comics, which was a creator owned comic company that broke with Marvel and DC comics to become a huge hit company. For a while. Now, they had to throw money at current comics superstar Robert Kirkman to come in and make their company great once again. See? I’m a nerd.

What’s Good About It?
Spawn does look really cool. If you made a really dark violent version of him without going too comic bookish with the action, it could be really cool. I have some hope.
What’s Bad About It?
McFarlane wants to direct it himself. Outside of a few Korn music videos, he doesn’t really have any experience. And his storytelling in the comics was never all that great either. He just drew really ripped versions of Spider-Man.
Our Clever Prediction
I can’t imagine this being all that good. I’d rather see another animated version. Actually, a fully CG version a la Beowulf could be really cool. But live action? No. The style of the visuals doesn’t lend itself to reality. Only a really talented visual director could bring this to life in a consistent film world and make it all work. Low box office. Crap movie.
I say copy the same cinematography as Sin City, 300, and The Spirit movies. I really think it would fit Spawn to the “Tee” I can’t wait to buy a million copies.. I have all the comic books and a lot of the Action figures still sealed in their boxes..
Ok I agree with frank (3) with alot of what he said and since I’m using my Droid X this will be short.
Spawn was Effin awesome, definitely one of a kind. The comics were nice but the curse of spawn which ppl don’t know about or have forgotten about it, now that was a comic book I collected them untill I could not find them (lame) now the movie was good or should I say had few good qualities, acting okay, cgi (at the time) ok, the clown (one of my favorites) every video game sucked donkey b#lls even his appearances. No offense but Road couldn’t direct his way out of a box. Skip the movie and do animated, and must have john L
When I first saw the movie spawn, it really freaked me out.
I felt it was produced by a demonic cult.
once i watched a 2nd and 3rd time i was really intrigued by the
storyline, characters and the effects. I had never seen anything
like it. Truly original.
If they can make spawn 2 with the same recipe, it may become another
big hit!
pls do not dissapoint your fans
sincerely, mike m
frank,
brilliant at best we need those dark moments to make it feel like spawn
I’m not sure what to think of this, if this is a troll, it’s a very very very evil one, Spawn is my favorite Anti-Hero fiction…Predator coming in second, and we have enough movies about Predator
The Play Station 2 game of Spawn was great, the 15 minutes I played with it, wish it would come out for PC -.-’
I could honestly belive that a Spawn 2 with the present day in special effects…It would go off the charts in rating! i’d probably go like every show available in cinema and probably buy like 10x sets of the DVD collection
With a big hope of this ever happening, even if it will be in 2012 or 2013, i’d survive the apocolypse in 21st of December 2012 just to see that movie and die happy
