"Spawn" creator Todd McFarlane has announced that he has officially started working on 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. The tone of this 'Spawn' movie will be for a more older audience. Like the film 'Departed.'"
McFarlane previously revealed that he doesn't want to make a big blockbuster. He instead would like to make a low-budget film, in order to keep some creative control.
"You're not going to get an [origin story] with a rubber costume," said McFarlane. "As a matter-of-fact, you'll never see Spawn in his full regalia, because to me, he's more of a sentinel, like a living shadow. I've shown the artwork [to potential investors] and he's all black; he doesn't look exactly like what people have seen in the comic book."
He added: "To me, it's more along the lines of 'Jaws,' where you didn't see [the shark] for half the movie, and then you caught glimpses of him. Jaws was somewhat fantastic in that movie, and to keep it low-budget I can't have spaceships and super-villains and all that stuff."
