Rather than let someone else handle his creation again, Todd McFarlane will oversee the Spawn reboot’s production.
So, here’s hoping that McFarlane has better luck with Spawn.
Another notable comic book creator who directed a film based on his own creation was Frank Miller with the Sin City movies, although he co-helmed them with Robert Rodriguez, while McFarlane is going at it solo.
In addition to creating Spawn, McFarlane’s other notable comic book credits include illustrating The Amazing Spider-Man series at Marvel (during which time he co-created Venom alongside writer David Michelinie) and being one of the illustrators on Batman: Year Two over at DC Comics.
