"Spawn'' is the work of some of the most inventive artists now working in the area of digital effects.
What matters is style, tone, and creative energy. I am sure there will be some who get involved at the plot level, but in comic books, and movies spawned by comic books, few things are ever really settled forever the ending has to be left open for a sequel, and of course whole story lines can be negated (as happened at Marvel recently) just by explaining that impostors were at work. Spawn has agreed to lead Armageddon for the powers of hell, but now finds himself trapped between good and evil.Īnd so on. Other key characters include Martin Sheen as Jason Wynn, a diabolical government agent who hopes to control the earth with biological blackmail, and Nicol Williamson as Cogliostro, Clown's enemy and a counterforce for good.
Most of the movie involves Spawn's efforts to break loose from his bargain with the devil, whose representative is Clown, a fat, wisecracking midget played with brilliant comic timing by John Leguizamo (who has little but his timing left to recognize after the special effects and makeup people have finished disguising him). He goes to his old home, sees his wife ( Theresa Randle) now happily remarried and is mistaken as a homeless man by everyone except his faithful little dog, Spaz. Simmons by now is Spawn, seen either grotesquely scarred or in an elaborate costume.

The book is published by Image Comics.That's what comic book writers call the "origination story,'' and "Spawn,'' of course, is based on a famous series of comic books by Todd McFarlane, who made "Spiderman'' the top-selling comic in history before jumping ship at Marvel to start his own company.Īfter the setup, five years pass before the evil ones make good on their promise. With all of his loved ones having moved on, the comic chronicles his struggle to find a new purpose in life. Unfortunately, he arrives back on Earth five years after his death, and much has changed in that time. His crimes on Earth get him sent him to hell, and he makes a deal with a demon to get sent back to Earth so he can see his wife again. The plot of Spawn centers around Albert Francis Simmons, a government assassin who is murdered by his director after his increasingly guilty conscience raises red flags among his superiors. Spawn is being produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions.
In the four years that have passed, those actors have since committed to other projects and may not be available for filming by the time Tucker and McFarlane come up with the next draft. Spawn creator Todd McFarlane penned the original screenplay - and he did such a good job that he had both Jeremy Renner and Jamie Foxx interested in starring rules.
