00:00 Welcome to MovieGasm.com where I'm gonna be bringing you the latest in upcoming movie news and theories.
00:04 And today we're gonna be talking about the highly anticipated Spawn reboot starring Jamie Foxx.
00:09 We'll be going over some of the latest theories and what we know so far about this project.

00:15 Now for those who may not be familiar with Spawn, Spawn is a comic book character created by Todd McFarlane
00:22 and the character first appeared in 1992 and has since become a cult classic.
00:26 In 1997 a movie adaptation was released as well as an animated series.
00:30 But the film starring Michael Jai White as Al Simmons received mixed reviews from critics and hardcore Spawn fans.
00:37 The theatrical release for the film received a PG-13 rating and that didn't sit right with fans
00:42 considering Spawn is extremely dark in tone and very gory.
00:46 But the animated series captured more of the gory tones that the comic books had
00:49 as well as a much deeper storyline that made Spawn awesome.
00:52 Now over the years there's been a lot of talk about a Spawn reboot with Jamie Foxx attached to play the role as Al Simmons.
00:57 Todd McFarlane has been working on getting a reboot off the ground at Blumhouse for more than half a decade now.
01:02 And after a long wait we officially got confirmation that Scott Silver, Malcolm Spellman and Matt Mixon
01:08 have joined the project to develop a new script for Spawn.
01:10 Silver is known for co-writing Joker and its upcoming sequel with Todd Phillips
01:14 while Spellman was the lead writer for Falcon and the Winter Soldier
01:17 and also wrote Captain America New World Order.
01:19 But some of this information was things we already knew about Spawn so let's talk about some theories and potential storylines for the reboot.
01:25 Now if you've made it this far into the video please consider subscribing to MovieGasm.com
01:30 for more videos like this as well as trailers and features.
01:33 With some of these new developments fans have been speculating about what direction the reboot will take.
01:37 Some believe that Silver's involvement will make the tone a more darker and serious one very similar to Joker
01:43 and others are hoping for a faithful adaptation to the comic books
01:46 with all of the heavy metal aesthetics and supernatural elements.
01:49 It is very important for Spawn to have gore and darkness
01:52 since the comic books and the animated series showed that darkness is within all of humanity
01:57 and how Spawn struggles to keep his humanity.
01:59 Now while the 1997 film wasn't perfect
02:02 it did try its best in the tone to capture Al Simmons and the world that he's now involved in.
02:07 I don't think Michael Jai White's performance was bad
02:09 but Jimmy Foxx has many layers to his performances
02:12 and can really do a lot for Al Simmons as a character.
02:14 He's very complex and has a lot of darkness within him.
02:17 In terms of story arcs and villains of course we need to see The Violator,
02:20 Creepy Clown, The Malbogia and even the creepy Billy Kincaid
02:25 but personally I'd love a whole movie just focused on his beginning arc story
02:28 and maybe even adapting some of the Armageddon storyline from Spawn 150.
02:32 It's very important that they get the tones right for this
02:34 and with Blumhouse I feel they'll do an amazing job
02:36 since the production company is notorious for making amazing horror films and thrillers as well.
02:41 So with all of that combined and the right writers
02:43 I think we can have an amazing Spawn reboot.
