Watching Spawn right now
Haven't seen it since I rented it on VHS in like 1998.
Remembering it being shit but I'm actually enjoying it right now. Still is kinda shit though I think they should reboot Spawn properly |

spawn is something that needs to be REALLY dark and gritty and they went half way comical with it

plus its cheesy and simplified like an average 90s action movie. I feel like Spawn should be a mix between Batman Begins and Se7en, only with Spawn.

Yea this movie is bad. It's all over the fucking place.
The other thing that sucks is 80% of the movie is just Spawn and The Clown arguing about shit that has no relevance. Then they're just jumping around from different locations, some of them hell and some of them not? Sometimes hell is the awful firey CGI world, then its a gothic cathedral like something out of Dark City, and then it's alleyways like the narrows in Batman Begins. And Miko Hughes is eating rotting food and arguing with his dad. Then its jumping from Spawn as a homeless guy, to Spawn as Spawn, and random scenes with his family in between. Just horribly paced and written. I was kind of into it as an action flick at the beginning, but now my head hurts. Last edited by Jeritron; 02-02-2010 at 01:02 AM. |

Spawn made jokes sometimes. As long as he isn't cracking them out like spider-man, I don't see anything wrong with a one-liner here or there.
I'll take that over the whiny emo bitch comic spawn anyway. "oh boo-hoo. I got ressurected as a walking corpse and my best friend married my wife. woe is me" Man the fuck up, dude. |

Pros: Spawn's suit looks great and there are machine guns

spawn made jokes in the comments in a bad ass way usually while killing a guy like rubbing his dominance in their face or calling violator his bitch.
Anyway... if you guys ever saw the HBO animated spawn series, thats how a live action should be done |

Dunno, the spandex look works on paper, but it would be hard to pull off a tragic hellspawn in live action with it.

spandex in live action works better on more upbeat characters like spider-man and superman, but on darker, more intimidating guys like batman and spawn, it looks silly.

If they chose to 'reboot' Spawn, they would probably cast Samuel Jackson, which would be horrible.

noooo i dont mean have the skin tight spandex... the actor behind the mask needs to be bigger.... i guess i could have used a better example. Venom in spiderman 3. putting topher grace in the venom suit was just silly.
Spawn is supposed to be a lot taller than when he was still alive as al simmons. Also a lot of his power came from his cape and the only times he doesnt have his cape is when he turns it into weaponry like agony (his axe). He barely ever had his cape drawn in the movie and thats one of the biggest parts of his look/character. |

It's a good film, and pretty loyal to the comics, but sadly it reeks of a terrible 90's B-movie, with terrible CGI (despite when it came out).
The film and the sets were dark and gothic, but had a flat 'cardboard' feel to them. I can't explain it, but it just felt very comical. Spawn is definitely something that should be redone now. It should be like the cartoon though, only live. It needs more violence and adult themes such as sex and bad language. Also better fight scenes would be nice, Spawn didn't really live up to his full potential in the film as he was kinda learning how to use his powers. |

Well Jerry early reports are saying Jamie Fox has been cast to play Spawn.

I loved the movie as a teenager and still will watch it from time to time.
Plus it has Martin Sheen in it, as the Illusive Un-Illusive Man |

I won't hold my breath. I'm sure every two years or so there's new updates or something and then it goes nowhere. Would have loved to see a new, darker and grown-up Spawn movie, but by this point I don't really care anymore.
Which makes me wonder... is the character still a shit hot property like he was in the 90's? |

Wouldnt have been my first choice but he's a good actor with star status.

The spawn property isnt hot per se but the IP does have a lot depth that would work on the big screen if adapted right. |

He's an actor that lucked his way into an Oscar win and has done nothing particularly good since then as a leading man. His paychecks are probably bigger but he's in a worse position than he was before Ray was made. Stealth took all of his star status with it. If you want to reboot Spawn you get Michael B Jordan, he's in every other fucking thing. |

I remember being heartbroken when I learned there was a black guy underneath the mask.
But I only ever read a few books, film sucked and I don't give a shit if it ever gets remade. |

I didn't say Foxx was a bad actor, just doesn't fit the role. In my book, at least.

Meh. I'm still more interested in how the supposed cartoon resurrection will turn out (if it actually happens), be it remake, reboot, or straight up new season.
Also, as much as I would also like to shit on the idea of Jamie Foxx for not seeming like the right guy, we are all assuming he's going to be cast as Al Simmons. Movie could swerve us all and it be one of the countless other Hellspawn that took the faustian deal throughout history. That would make for an interesting wrinkle. Django Rechained |

There's a production company attached now, its happening. Live action horror film. McFarlane already stated he doesnt think the spawn story has ben properly told and that he intends to.
Also Foxx is spawn mark and approached McFarlane about playing the role. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...-cast-him.html Theres a clear vision. I hope it finds an audience. Source material is great. |

Reports are saying Spawn will not speak in the upcoming film. Leaning toward spawn being a firm horror film.

He should probably have an inner monologue or narration though surely?
