Jamie Foxx confirmed for new 'Spawn' reboot
ReedeFox > 31/05/2018, 15:15
The box office is absolutely riddled with comic book adaptations at the moment so it should come as no surprise that yet another one is coming our way. It has just been confirmed that Jamie Foxx will star as the lead in the new Spawn film and this dark reboot looks like it's going to be a good'un.
Spawn’s creator, Todd McFarlane, spoke to Jamie Foxx a few years back about the movie, with Foxx recounting the meeting:
Quote:A few years back I flew out to Arizona to meet the man behind one of the most incredible comic book characters in the universe… Todd McFarlane. He was taken aback when I told him with the enthusiasm of a young child that more than anything I wanted to put my name in the hat to embody his beloved character Spawn…. I told him no one would work harder than me if given the opportunity… well… the opportunity is here!! I’m humbled and ready to transform… and to top things off the young Jason Blum is lending his brilliance to the project! Time to be great!!!! #Spawn.
Speaking to Deadline, McFarlane said he wants Spawn to be a quiet kind of guy:
Quote:The scariest movies, from Jaws to John Carpenter’s The Thing, or The Grudge and The Ring, the boogeyman doesn’t talk.This is not a man in a rubber suit, it’s not a hero that’s going to come and save the damsel. It’s none of that. At the end of the movie, I’m hoping that the audience will say either, is this a ghost that turns into a man, or is it a man that turns into a ghost?I’ve got a trilogy in mind here, and I’m not inclined in this first movie to do an origin story. I’m mentally exhausted from origin stories.
Spawn is expected to have a budget of between £7 million and £10 million and it will be a dark, R-rated movie.Sounds right up my street. I'm looking forward to having some more info and a release date. We'll keep you posted! -

I get why the original received so much negativity, but I kind of enjoyed it.
Just by reading this I get the feeling that this is going to be an awesome movie. -

The original film was actually a fair bit of fun (my jurys still out on John Legunzino's turn as that clown though..the atempts at humour left a bad taste in my mouth). Cue this revisit to Spawn territory, am i over enthused..not exactly. That said though i will give this a looksee on its home release. Apparantly Jeremy Renner has been cast as a detective that will work with/alongside spawn in some capacity. Ol Jeremy has proved himself to be a capable actor..see what he makes of this.
