If director Todd McFarlane gets his way, Spawn will begin filming in May, according to Omega Underground.
The veteran comic book creator and creator of Spawn has been working on casting various roles in the film for some time, with the vague promise that production would start soon on the movie, which he says will be an R-rated horror/action movie.
There is no word yet on just where the movie will be shot, but OU says that producers are discussing filming in New York.
In a late January interview with ComicBook.com's Jim Viscardi, McFarlane broke the news his reboot has begun the casting process.
The process involves sorting through the script's characters and throwing names around for actors who might fit, McFarlane explained.
A bigger role will instead be private investigator Twitch Williams, who McFarlane refers to as his "Sheriff Brody.".
Last summer, McFarlane told ComicBook.com "a couple" of Academy Award-winning actors approached him about starring in the movie. »
