this summer I'll be writing the screenplay for a movie that I'll be directing that I hope I can get started in December or January.

So a sequel to the movie?

No, I wouldn't use that word. A reinvention. If everything goes good there'll be a movie next year, and the animation is definitely coming next year. And then all of a sudden we've reinvigorated the direction of the comic book, I mean each will happen of their own voice, but all of sudden it's like, "oh cool, Spawn is back to sort of being to the forefront of comic books and comic book pop culture like Spider-Man, Superman and Batman have taken their rightful place there.

a reinvention done right would be sweet.

COMING IN 2006

ComicCon 2005 Teaser Trailer

Todd McFarlane Productions in association with Todd McFarlane Entertainment and Film Roman (FR) agreed to re-introduce Spawn to the world of animation through a feature-length direct-to-DVD movie. Going the “direct-to-DVD” route allowed us the freedom to tell the type of story I’d envisioned, without being hampered by any restrictions on the story content. Whatever I wanted to see onscreen would be there.

At the same time, we are attempting to create a show that -- with careful editing -- could become our backdoor pilot episode for a TV network in the future. The idea is to use parts of the finished product as a presentation tool when we go to the networks and cable channels to “pitch” the series as a weekly program.

Obviously, I’d like to see Spawn back on HBO and will make them the first place we go. After that we will look into other channels that might be just as well-suited to run this show. But -- and here’s the best part of the deal we struck -- if no one in Hollywood wishes to pick up the show to distribute, we are set to bring the story out in DVD form regardless. Either way, the fans come out ahead.

The trailer should be: Rated C for Cheesy.
