I wonder if Jared Leto's scenes will be cut to pieces again. Let's hope.

FlamingLiberal posted:Yeah if it's Blum House it's going to be a pretty low budget which seems like a mistake. But I'm guessing that they were the only ones willing to give McFarlane any input on the movie Blumhouse is a boutique studio that makes (mostly) great low budget thriller/horror films though, especially recently (Get Out, Split). I think it's a solid move since there's no way in hell any of the larger studios would fund a big-budget Spawn remake. Going this particular route (~$10 million budget and below) seems like the only way a new Spawn film would ever get made. Todd also did explain his idea for a new Spawn movie a little while ago on AMC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04KtQ3kfzPM Maybe the Blumhouse production will be something similar to this in tone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5tCbd4fgkw Spawn was a big part of my childhood — mainly the action figures — and the '97 Spawn film, as poo poo as it is, will always hit me with a bit of nostalgia, so I'm pretty stoked to hear a new Spawn film is in the works finally

I'm pretty sure Commando Spawn was the first Spawn action figure I bought with my allowance. I didn't even know it was a comic then, I just thought the figure looked cool as hell. That's what got me started.

I have to wonder what he told them to convince them to let him direct when he has zero experience in directing literally anything. I mean, it's not like Blumhouse is hurting for successful IPs, he needs them more than they need him.

I was very young when it came out, but my dad said it was pretty cool (though I don't know how much he actually bought, if any), at least until the power countdown got removed. I've only read one issue of the comic, my aunt got it for me one day in like, 2003, and seen the movie and first season of the animated series which gets a lot of love but I wasn't terribly enthralled by (beyond being a teenager and watching a series with blood and boobs, of course).

X-O posted:I just can't help but laugh at this. Meh...I'm cool with it. The HBO animated series was quite good, a lot of the parts of the film weren't bad and even the comic itself was pretty good for a while. I honestly think this is the next step in comic book films as "Remember the 90's?!?!" becomes the next wave of nostalgia. Expecting Cable, Lobo and BloodBlood sooner than later. this: quote:Last year, McFarlane said the film would not be a continuation of the 1997 film but instead be a fresh take that has "a dark, R-rated, scary, badass sort of script." is less encouraging though. whoa. Two double posts in one night. Gonna let it ride anyway

We didn't know the 20 year olds behind the counter selling lovely comics for 50 to 100 dollars were idiots. Everyone was on the I'm gonna retire on these all these comics one day train. I do remember for a brief time believing this. Then superman died and well everyone learned their lesson on comic collecting even my 11 year old self. I stopped reading spawn around issue 15 is all I know because that's where my stack stops. Funny thing is I don't actually remember anyone talking about the story or the art past the first couple of issues.

Did you seriously not buy two, one to open and read, and one to buy your future house with. E: to stop my derailing. I went and saw spawn in theatres cause my buddies worked at the theatres when it came out and I've never left a theatre feeling cheated out of something that was free since.

That poster stayed on the back of my door for like three years. Plus it was not really like you could've bought two if you wanted to. That thing was limited to one per customer at a first come first served basis and my Dad took off work to get it for me because he's a great man.

X-O posted:Spawn is one of those things from '90s comics that really makes me wonder what was wrong with us kids as an audience for that to actually become a hit. Spawn is a good idea on paper, it's just that Todd McFarlane is not good at making comics. The cartoon was pretty decent and I remember liking that Sam and Twitch comic that Bendis did aeons ago, despite some odd creative choices like horrible lettering combined with no speech balloons.

I mean, I'm seeing it on eBay for like $2 so I don't think you need to have any regrets. The Spawn movie was bad, but it has one loving stellar soundtrack so it was all worth it. How come more soundtracks (or just albums) don't feature awesome mash-ups between rock bands and techno artists? poo poo like that is STILL mad popular if you ever look at YouTube.

Tilda Swinton as Poison Ivy is better than the DCEU deserves. I look forward to hating the movie but enjoying finally getting a good Poison Ivy figure from one of the import companies.
