Todd Mcfarlane to finally make major 'Spawn' Movie announcement in 7 hours on Facebook!

Upon his death, Albert Francis Simmons made a deal with the devil and exchanged his soul with a lord of Hell in order to see his wife again, only to find himself transformed into the demonic creature known only as Spawn. Everyone is aware that Todd McFarlane's anti-hero hasn't had the best luck on the big-screen. The first and only 'Spawn' film was released in 1997 and starred Michael Jai White in the title role. It was the only film due to it not resonating to well with its fans, but Todd McFarlane has nonetheless been attempting to get another SPAWN film off the ground since then, and I have been eagerly waiting for him to tell us that he has finally finished faffing around with the script, and he's signed on with someone to finally get things going.

The 'Spawn' reboot has spent much of its life languishing in development hell, but Todd McFarlane took to Facebook yesterday to announce that he will be making an official announcement about the 'Spawn' movie tonight at Comic-Con at 2:00pm PST. That's pretty much it, we'll have to wait another 7 hours to see what that announcement is all about, but it's hopefully good news for those of us who have been anxiously awaiting another 'Spawn' film.

Todd McFarlane has previously teased that the potential 'Spawn' film will be aiming for a hard R-rating, which will go further than either 'Deadpool' or 'Logan' in terms of the nasty stuff. "Listen, I’m going to paint it for you," McFarlane said. "The movie is going to be a dark R…If here’s PG-13 and here’s Deadpool and here’s Logan, we’re going to be here. It’s going to be dark. It’s going to be nasty." McFarlane has kept a tight hold on his property since the failure of the first movie, and in order to ensure that his vision isn't tampered with, he's insisted that he will be the one to write, produce, and direct the 'Spawn' reboot.

I will update you as soon as I know in roughly 7 hours now which is 10pm tonight in the UK!
