Todd McFarlane’s long-awaited Spawn movie will be R-rated and the first draft of its “badass” script is already complete

Spawn creator Todd MacFarlane says the script for the live-action feature-length adaptation is complete – and with an R-rating in tow.

“The first draft of the screenplay is done. There’s an R-rated script that exists. We have been waiting a long time. We’ve created a script that creates its own version of Spawn for the screen,” McFarlane shared during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The next step is finding a director for the long-awaited pic. “They have been true to my spirit. They delivered a badass movie script.”
