“There’s no joy," McFarlane told me. “There’s gonna be no fun lines in it, and it’s just gonna be this dark, ugly two hours worth of movie, which is essentially what a lot of supernatural/horror movies are anyway. There’s not a lot of funny in them. And that seems to be a weird hurdle for a lot of people in this city to get over because they sort of go into a superhero/Avengers default all the time."

“no joy".

That makes me want to get off my ass and out to a theater!

The 1997 original film is a schlocky fav as a kid who grew up worshiping Spawn. This sounds like a fucking mess.

We’ll see how it turns out.
