[terry78]

Well it's Spawn all right. I wonder how expressive the face will be.

That's the '97 movie costume.

Well ****.

LOL! Well, for what it's worth, that costume was pretty dope. Even if the movie was trash.

'The Walking Dead's Greg Nicotero Officially Joins Todd McFarlane's 'Spawn' Reboot (Exclusive)

Todd McFarlane's Spawn movie is getting a massive boost to its talented roster, in the form of one of the biggest names in the visual effects business. With Spawn's production on the horizon, ComicBook.com can exclusively confirm that The Walking Dead's Greg Nicotero, and his KNB EFX Group, will provide the visual effects for the upcoming film.

"When I conceived of the story to start with, I never really thought of it as big special effects extravaganza because I knew we weren't going to have the budget for it," McFarlane told ComicBook.com. "So I knew I was going to rely heavily on practical makeup and costuming, and one of the places that kept popping up was my good pal Greg Nicotero on his KNB Group. And he's obviously done a tremendous amount of work on dozens and dozens of movies. The sort of serendipitous part of it is that Greg was there at the beginning 20 years ago for the original Spawn movie.''

Neat. The original suit was one of the few things about the original movie I thought looked good.

 

[Deck Rickard]

It would be pretty funny if they just reused the suit from the original movie.

 

[Binker]

I always had this great idea for a film incarnation of Spawn's suit, and it would show that it was from a man who had been through hell, literally. The idea would of body horror.

I had this concept of the suit being literal second skin, and the colors were based on what human skin go through. How red can skin can get, how black and burnt skin can get, how albino white it can get, and form the suit that way. His eyes would be green, and the mask would be a skin mask that when he takes it off, it would be like the HBO series would he tears it off like tearing off flesh.

The chains would be the hellish part because it would look like they would literally fused into his body. And his cape cloak would be the only thing he would carry that is part of him, but not part of his body. As in he could take it off and leave and come back for me, or maybe the cape can come to him.

But yeah that was my concept.

Hope we get our first look at the suit soon!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I hope it's a great looking suit.

They tried a superhero movie with no joy. It was called Batman v Superman. But I get what he’s saying. Spawn isn’t necessarily a cheery character. But I would think there could be some levity. Not MCU style jokes, but if it’s just 2 hours of nihilism then it sounds boring.

There’s no joy... There’s gonna be no fun lines in it, and it’s just gonna be this dark, ugly two hours worth of movie, which is essentially what a lot of supernatural/horror movies are anyway. There’s not a lot of funny in them. And that seems to be a weird hurdle for a lot of people in this city to get over because they sort of go into a superhero/Avengers default all the time.

 

[terry78]

His own spawn comics had humor. It was kinda dark but it was there.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Damn. Well, I don't think I have read more than three Spawn comics in my life and they weren't particularly funny so I don't know if he's just staying true to the source material

 

[I Am The Knight]

I guess he's trying to avoid "MCU humor"

 

[samsnee]

Which is fair. But saying “no joy” makes it sound too dour.

 

[The Shape]

Either way, "joy" isn't a requirement to produce a good or interesting film -- depending on the material.

 

[2kt09]

Which is fair. But saying “no joy” makes it sound too dour.

He's pretty damn clear on his reasoning:

There’s gonna be no fun lines in it, and it’s just gonna be this dark, ugly two hours worth of movie, which is essentially what a lot of supernatural/horror movies are anyway. There’s not a lot of funny in them. And that seems to be a weird hurdle for a lot of people in this city to get over because they sort of go into a superhero/Avengers default all the time.

He repeats this a number of times yet slips in that he apparently still threw in the "pg-13 superhero formula",
did "the song and dance, cheerlead a little bit" just to get the investors adjusted.
Either way, it's a Blumhouse movie at the end of the day and it definitely is just making the most for a certain niche as opposed to mass consumer global appeal.

 

[The Shape]

The '97 Spawn suit is still sexy.

 

[I Am The Knight]

After the massive success of Aquaman, it's likely that the lines between the MCU and DCEU are gonna start to blur. We need an appropiate "grim & gritty" Spawn movie.

wanted to appropriate that for Hellboy

It feels very 90s and plastic-y but it is a pretty good translation from the comic.
