For any Spawn fans out there, I keep seeing the teasers for a new film and a new animated series, but nothing else besides that. I'm not impatient, but I just want to see something concrete for once. I'm curious to know what has Todd MacFarlane been up to that has made him put these new adaptations on hold. It's ironic that when the 1997 live-action film came out, it seemed rushed (since the comics started in 1991) which is one of the reasons why it flopped, but now he's taking his sweet time. Maybe him taking his sweet time is his way of making sure that the new film ends up being what it was meant to be. Btw, what's your opinion on Spawn only growling in the new film? Will that work for the character? I can see it working for Leetha, but not Spawn. As far as the new animated series goes, I've only heard Sam and Twitch will be in it again.

The first Spawn film didn't flop. It was considered a box office success. It cost $40 million to make and the studio made $88 million just on the theater release. That's not including VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, Internet downloads, merchandising etc.

The sequel was in development hell for years, and they just decided to make it a reboot. The script was finished a few months ago and it say it's in pre-production right now.
