Movies have seen many remakes, prequels, and sequels in the past few years, but one we are dying to see is of course Jason Blum’s Spawn reimagination. The comic book adaptation has been in the works for quite some time, but due to the writer's strike, a clash of actor scheduling, and budget issues, the project has been put on hold for quite some time. However, Blum has finally spoken out and given us some insight into when we can expect Spawn to rise up onto our screens.
In a new interview with ComicBook.com, the Blumhouse producer revealed when the film would be released: "2025 is when Spawn is going to come out. I stand by that."
The original 1997 Spawn movie, based on Todd McFarlane’s comic by the same name, follows an assassin named Al Simmons who ends up being murdered by his double-crossing boss and sent to hell.
The hellraising reimagining has been a long time coming, so what has been the hold-up? Well, originally the remake was supposed to be a low-budget horror-themed retelling of the story, but after writing a much longer script in the mid-2010s, McFarlane managed to pique the interest of Blumhouse. Foxx was set to play Spawn in 2017 but due to budgeting issues, Foxx’s health scare, and the writers' strikes, filming went on a five-year-plus hiatus.
