hollywood is flooded with all kind of super heroes movie in these few years, and these movies help the many toy companies make BIG BIG MONEY!!!... we can see ironman figs, spidey, fantastic 4,...everywhere

i can feel that spawn popularity is getting down, at least in my country, many of my friends are quiting spawn, they told me spawn line is lack of innovative...boring, bad packaging.

I really hope to see spawn become a hype again just like 90s...we seriously need another Big Movie with awesome CG and storyline to push spawn back to what it was last time...I'm pretty sure the new movie based spawn toys will bring in many new spawn fans.
what do you think?

As long as Clown is played by John Leguizamo again.

I loved the first Spawn movie...I seem to be the only one.

I've been wanting a second one for a long time.

I would love another Spawn movie.

But, don't you think they would have made one by now?

I personally think Spawn would be better served with a weekly TV series. The mythos is so deep you couldn't do it justice in just two hours. But a TV series could be awesome...you have the right amount of intertwining stories....Al's, Wanda & Terry, Jason Wynn, the pseudo political tug of war between Heaven & Hell with Al as the pawn stuck in the middle, Sam & Twitch, life in Rat City and its' inhabitants, etc....really supports an episodic format. Make Al a tragic, sympathetic hero, play up the lost love of Wanda angle, give the war between Heaven & Hell a symbol of todays world politics, make it more supernatural in theme as opposed to horror...& run it on HBO or something so you could do it right....I'm telling you, it could be really good. Model it after LOST a bit, the continuning stories, weekly cliffhangers, multiple character stories, a creepy atmosphere...Todd, buddy, let me run with it, I know exactly how to do it! :cool: ;) :spawnorb:

another spawn movie would be nice... it only require a better (way better) scripts, or screen play. melabogia (?) doesn't look good (real) in the first movie... a movie just to focus on spawn vs redeemer should be ass kicking...

Yeah if they are gonna continue I would rather see what the whole Spawn on the horse in the animated series was about! :D

I'm not sure if now is a good time for a Spawn film...

I see what your saying, finally get some interest back in Spawn...but I'm just not sure if it would really work right now. What with huge blockbusters like Iron Man and Wolverine dominating all the public's attention. I feel Spawn would get minimal press and little to no real in depth hype.

However, TV film, animated film or even another HBO series could do the trick. It woudln't be as big a risk as a full length big budget movie would be, and if the animated series is popular enough and get's enough attention, THEN, after all that, make a movie.

I agree whole heartedly...this would be a better route.....good story and not a CGI sales event. Wasn't there news last year that an animated video was coming...and supposedly close to being finished?

Todd talked about it at the Spawn panel at WWC. He mentioned Wanted opening so well (it opened the day before) for an R rated movie definitely helping . He said he wants to write and direct, and film it for less then 20 million. If a studio will let him do it, Spawn 2 gets made. He also said he wants to do more of a mystery movie, with Spawn staying in the shadows.

I'm all for a new Spawn movie. It needs to be in Todd's true vision of Spawn and rated R. And if they use Clown again, he needs to be more scary and brutal.

Yup I was there too and it sounded like Todd just wants total control, and just like an attendee said we can all be dead bodies or extras LOL

Hollywood will never let Todd have the keys to the car again. He has not been able to get any of his dream movie projects off the ground. Totured Souls...rejected! Oz.....rejected! Spawn.....rejected!

Sure, as long as Al/Spawn is voiced by The Arbiter.

I agree entirely. Something just didn't click with the last one. It needs to be dark like the comics. No PG13 crap.

Dark but not too dark. Spawn always had some good dark humor in it.

There's a very good reason why there hasn't been another Spawn movie. It's the same reason why Spawn hasn't achieved the crossover status that everyone seems to be scratching their heads over.

That reason is: Spawn/Al Simmons is not a superhero.

He has power and he's got a costume, sure. But, he's also selfish, petty, prone to maudlin diatribes about how he was done wrong even though when you look at it objectively, he deserves everything he gets.

He's depressingly stale. He hasn't really changed at all over the entire run of his comic. I expected some huge transformation, but no, he's still wallowing in the **** and making all the same mistakes.

Spawn should have ended a long time ago when the series came it's logical conclusion. Good art is not a reason to keep a book going. That's why Spawn is constantly labeled as the "posterboy of everything that was wrong with comics in the 90's'. The art on Spawn is constantly great. No one is denying that, but the story and main character have always been lacking something to make you care, like almost every other book that came out in the 90's.

Because of that central absence of concern, Spawn just doesn't translate to other mediums the same way that Spidey or Batman could.

I agree to a point. We'll have to see this "major change" thats supposed to happen in #185.

Hollywood can blow everything thats "Pop" out of it's arse and accept some ****ing change, IMO.

Spawn more than deserves a long awaited, second shot at a movie.

But if it does [hopefully] get done, don't expect any super villains. Maybe not even Clown, just Mafia hitmen and thugs and enemys which are realistic.

Ive long said Spawn needs to jump back in the public eye.
