Back in April, I hit you all with the news that Todd McFarlane was getting ready to embark on a new SPAWN story, with the claim that at least five studios were circling the project… Well, seems as though things are progressing nicely, because McFarlane has revealed – via Twitter – that he’s begun writing the screenplay for SPAWN.

I’ve officially begun writing the SPAWN MOVIE screenplay. The story has been in my head for 7 or 8 years. Will continue to update.

He then adds this, in response to a query: The movie idea is neither a recap or continuation. It is a stand alone story that will be R-rated. Creepy and scary. He goes on to say: the tone of this SPAWN movie will be for a more older audience. Like the film DEPARTED.

Well, all that is well and good, as long as the new SPAWN films doesn’t resemble the 1997 turd in the slightest. If you want to follow along with the progress of the screenplay, head on over to Todd’s Twitter Page.
