10 million? Thafuq?

[Rhyis.]

[chazzyphizzle]

well i guess they tried having a huge budget now they are going the other way with it

[Nekonaruto]

Actually, I just looked up the budget for Split, and that was only $9 million. So this might actually turn out to be good!

[Deftscythe]

This being horror genre is weird. I never read the comics but I thought Spawn was an anti-hero comic, not horror.

[Krandor]

It tries to be both, but horror isn't overly effective in the comic medium

[Rulke]

I used to read Spawn, still have Issues 1-100. To be frank I think Hollywood could do whatever the fuck they want with the title because its so far from relevant these days, who cares?

The good news is that the 10 million dollar budget should cover the return of this guy

Horror Genre

Supernatural Thriller, Spawn will have no speaking lines and won't be the protagonist, An Officer to be the lead

That actually sounds kind of interesting.

Certainly more interesting than another bog standard superhero origin story.

Production Delayed Due to Creative Differences between McFarlane & Blumhouse.

The money's sitting on the sidelines ready to go. I just need to get everyone that wants to put in money to shake their heads to the same script. As you can imagine, everyone has a slightly different version of it in their head. You just go and trying to appease a handful of people while not giving in to what it is that I'm trying to do myself. Because if I have to change it too much, I'll just walk away from it all.

Definitely could have a horror feel to it.
