Comic book movies have been ruling the box office for more than a decade now, but since Spawn is going to be more of a low-budget horror movie, it took quite some time for Todd McFarlane to get someone to understand his vision.
It was announced during San Diego Comic-Con that Todd McFarlane, who created Spawn, finally inked a deal to write, produce and direct his movie for Blumhouse, the studio behind movies like The Purge, Get Out and Split.
The man that finally looked at his vision and gave it the go-ahead is Jason Blum of Blumhouse, and McFarlane feels that they are the perfect studio to handle his R-rated Spawn movie.
Even though Todd McFarlane hasn’t directed a movie before, he has his vision clearly laid out for Spawn and Blumhouse can surround him with a team to help execute that vision.
