04.30.09 MCFARLANE WORKING ON ANOTHER SPAWN MOVIE
IESB recently interviewed comic book artist Todd McFarlane at the Star Trek premiere in Tempe, and long story short, he told them he’s working on getting another film adaptation of his comic book Spawn made.
“Right now I literally have five offers on the table, everything from the big studios… to more where I’m leaning, which is more of a smaller budget – just keep it down, keep it dark, keep it grungy – I mean, I’ve got two teenage daughters, and I’m trying to come up with an idea that would get them and their dates to go to it. And it’s not a comic book movie, it’s just a scary movie, a creepy movie. …Think The Departed, but with something moving in the shadows.
…The problem is, if I go big, they’re only gonna let me produce it. If I go smaller they’ll let me write and direct it. Which is what I’m leaning towards, which is why I’m trying to get it small enough.”
Say what you will about the 1997 Spawn movie, directed by a guy who later went on to direct Garfield’s Fun Fest, I hope they bring back John Leguizamo as the scary clown guy. The only thing scarier than clowns is John Leguizamo chewing scenery. [IESB has video of the McFarlane interview, Leguizamo clip below]

Is “chewing scenery” one of those IN Hollywood euphemisms for a particularly outrageous and unbelievable performance?
Or did he really eat the backdrops?
McFarlane could save quite a bit on make up costs if he would just cast Edward James Olmos as Spawn and make him shave his head and eyebrows.

Not mentioned in the interview transcript is the wild interruption JJ Abrams made by screaming “NO, TALK TO MEEEEE!!!!!”
The last thing I saw Leguizamo chewing on was a couple of Percoset and the side of a glass filled with Jim Beam.

This is what I call “2Girls1tubofpopcorn”

McFarlane’s making movies with the sole intent on getting his daughters laid? Someone’s been watching too much of The Tudors.

No no Todd…thats Youngblood.
The only thing scarier than clowns are clowns that live in sewers and turn into spiders. I mean it.

Note to self: add to list of things that bug the shit outta me:
28. People who throw around the word “literally” like it actually adds value or makes them sound intelligent

“Working on another Spawn”
This is the away message on Brad and Angelina’s answering machine.
What the hell did I do to you Al?

Last winter a guy at the bus stop said to the ticket seller “Oh my God, I am literally frozen” and he wasn’t! I was very disappointed.
*checks past posts for the word literally*
Whew! She wasn’t talking about me. I’ve still got a chance with her!
@SmokeEm: you never shut the fuck up. Tone it down a notch or ten.
@JHC – you’re LITERALLY got a chance with me, sexy.
“You’re” and “you’ve” are interchangeable contractions in Canuckistan.
Sorry if I did something to bother you and your enchanted and precious little world here Al.
What does it say about someone who takes writing comments on a movie website SERIOUSLY. Jeeze. Have fun fucking yourself.
(*turns around from front seat while chodin gives me road head*) DO NOT TEST ME! I SWEAR TO FUCKING CHRIST I WILL TURN THIS BLOG AROUND, DO YOU HEAR ME? I WILL TURN THIS BLOG AROUND!
She started it BlogDad.
I’d fuck me.
*ques up Goodbye Horses, grabs lip gloss*
You know Al, I’m all with you. They keep playing this Tempurpedic commercial where this lady says that she “Literally sleeps like that all night.” and every time I think, ‘oh, you, in a word for word translation or without exageration sleep like that. Good for you bitch.’
I’d fuck you J. And you, and you, annnnd you, not you, you for sure, uhhhhmmmm ya, you too, and you…
Q: What do Al and Michelle have in common?
A: Neither of them know how to handle contractions.
VINCE! AL’S TOUCHING ME!
(don’t stop, stupid – I’m bragging)
Have fun fucking yourself
Good grief, everyone knows I literally have an armada for that.
Chodin literally gives the best road head. Just sayin’.
Looks at bossman, “Fuck OFF! TOM!”
I literally just told Tom to fuck off.
Chodin literally gives the best road head. Just sayin’.
Do I understand that to mean he fills his mouth with chunks of asphalt before he goes down on you?
[Waves hands in front of Stone]
I’m not touching you. I’m not touching you. VaLince!! Stones on my side of the seat!!
So Al, when I have one of my Adderall moments, doe sit piss you off?
Good work, Vince

although quite how the person who posted this chose to not include the very next scene with the hitchhiker defies belief. The best double whammy in comedy. Ever.
The problem is, if I go big, they’re only gonna let me produce it. If I go smaller they’ll let me write and direct it.
This is the opposite in Porno’s.
New Up.
