IESB.net scored a nice interview with Todd McFarlane in which he talks about TORSO, and also drops some fun info on a SPAWN sequel. Here’s a taste of the SPAWN news:
Over the years I have sort of explained it to people, it’s sort of like Jaws in that although the movie is called Jaws and it’s about the shark, the shark isn’t the lead in the movie. It’s about the people that are hunting the shark. Now the shark has a big place in it, but it’s more about the people that are hunting the shark and that’s sort of what the genesis of the movie will be because I don’t have the money to just run around and do Spiderman and X-Men special effects. It’s going to be an R-rated, very gritty, very urban and the only thing that is going to be out of the ordinary will be this thing called Spawn. There isn’t going to be any super villain, there’s not going to be any bazookas and ray guns it’s just going to be one element that is out of the ordinary and people won’t even believe that it actually exists…it’s a boogeyman story, which is a lot different then what we did the first time.
