I think a spawn movie is great….getting leo….maybe as one of the detectives i could see……I mean in the departed leo was great….I loved that movie….and im not a fan of leo by any means…….but i enjoyed teh departed…oops getting off topic….back to spawn…I love the comic book series, and with Todd getting back on board with the comics last year was great….with issue 185…amazing……..I dont know if anyone has read any of the end game but its outstanding…..maybe they can go with that story line on the new movie i dont know…but at the same time i like al simmons as spawn. But the first movie, allthough it followed really closely to the comics, it wasnt that great, but it was filmed in the mid 90s, gotto remember that. So bad acting was involved yes, but i think the clown(John Leguizamo..sp?) was amazing, and Michael Jai White(al simmons/spawn) was pretty good as well…….but whoever commented they think will smith should play spawn…thats just nutso…..I think a good actor to play spawn(if it were al simmons spawn anyways) would be someone like Kevin Grevioux(raze, Underworld series) that would be good to be honest. But I do like the ideas ive been hearing about the new spawn movie, I must go i have spoken way to much. Hope this has been a good insight for you all.

this is a chance for an r-rated batman, just like spawn: the animated HBO series

(it featured some of the talent who worked on the 90’s batman animated series)

In reply to 3R!C. That, or it's one of the most ingenious marketing scheme in cinematic history.

In reply to 3R!C. Are people still doing the whole "Inception is Batman 3" thing? That's totally played out.

Since we’re talking about him, I have to ask: What happened to Leonardo DiCaprio? When did he turn into such a self-righteous, pretentious douchebag? Was it all the time that he spends with Tobey Maguire? Was it his desperate need for people to see him as a “serious” actor and not just a pretty boy? What HAPPENED to him? I have never seen an actor lose so many fans and goodwill as quickly as him.

Now, I’m not saying the guy is a bad actor, but he comes across as a massive tool now. His box office is hit and miss, he has no appeal to broad audiences, and he oozes douche every time I see him. Ugh!

In reply to HAZMAT. I think he's saying he wants DiCaprio for the role of Sam or Twitch, not Spawn himself. Which still, he doesn't fit the part for those two either. *shrugs*

In reply to Rafael.

The money isn’t a problem, the man is a millionaire. He’s one of the most successful multi entertainment artists/story tellers there ever was.

I personally just don’t think Leo would fit in a Spawn film and for that, shouldn’t do it. I can’t figure out why McFarlane thinks he’d be good for it at all, other then the fact that he’s a big name.

But if he does end up getting Leo somehow, because it does end up that he fits well for the story McFarlane is going for, I’ll be laughing my ass off for the post John makes for it. ;P

In reply to Sound Designer Dan. He's not the right actor for a Spawn story anyway...
