Now that dark superhero movies are making its way on the big screen, fans hope of seeing "Spawn" movie reboot is higher than ever.
Since Marvel and DC Comics announced the likes of "Black Panther," "Doctor Strange" and "Cyborg," "Spawn" fans become more eager to see the reboot hit theaters.
While the Todd McFarlane's supposed project was never really officially annouced, fans are still hoping that it will push through.
During Toronto's The Gate fan expo, McFarlane shared his thoughts about "Spawn" movie reboot, and while he was not able to give exact details as to when the project will hit theaters, he did share details about its plot.
Instead of joing the band wagon of superhero films, McFarlance revealed that he opts to stick with the darker side of the movie.
"I think it's a quick shoot," he answered when asked about the planned "Spawn" movie reboot.
"It's not going to be a giant budget with a lot of special effects, it's going to be more of a horror movie and a thriller movie, not a superhero one. I've got so many people phoning now that I've got to get it done. I've made some promises to people this year."
And in a separate interview with Comicbook, McFarlane confirmed that he plans to make the film as "dark and gritty" as possible.
"It will be a definite R," he explained.
"Not so much that I tell people... I don't want 'R' to do excessive violence or nudie people or any of that. It's just that some of the content, which is sort of street thug and police officers, you're getting into some dark and gritty 2 AM in the morning bad guy stuff."
Adding, "That conversation, it doesn't lend itself to being PG-13. Those types of people, those types of characters have a certain vernacular that they speak with, so you can't do it, right. So you have to dip into 'R' rated, just to be actually able to do characters in the proper fashion. Again, I don't know if anybody could do a mafia story and not make it 'R,' just because of the way people talk. And once you start using a couple curse words, it sort of crosses over into that in the film ratings anyway."
