Spawn fans rejoice: Todd McFarlane, creator of the hellish Image Comics antihero Spawn, announced on Friday that he will be writing and directing a new film about the character.
Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions, the studio behind “Get Out,” “The Purge,” and “Split,” will produce.
“Having worked with many visionary directors, I think Todd’s unique artistic talents will only add to his role as director of this film,” Blum said in statement.
McFarlane, who will be making his directorial debut with this project, has already written the first draft of the script, and his film division, McFarlane Films, will co-produce with Blumhouse.
