Yeah, example: Ryan Reynolds' CG Green Lantern suit looked very bad.

Well it was suppose to be a CG suit, It based on Geoff Johns's Green Lantern: Rebirth

I mean his Spawn series proved that he was a great artist but lousy writer....

Just wondering when was the last time you read his Spawn series, i don't mean his more recent work with it

[B]That's an awesome idea, actually. Yeah, he would rock. Is the character black in the comic? Just wondering if that's why they went with the black actor..

Yes he's a black character

Haven't read Spawn in years. I honestly don't even know if it's still in publication. I think after the 1st 20 issues, I got bored with Macfarlane's writing, enjoyed a couple of issues where he had guest-writers then kinda lost interest....that's over 10 years ago.

Yeah its still going

for me even after the 20th issue it was still fairly good and i've only got Volumes 1 & 2 with the collections.

Spawn? Alot of better movies out there to remake, lol

I think the 1997 live-action movie was totally freakin' awesome!

That was the same with me back then

but now when i see all that CGI in hell it just looks dodgy.

every cgi shot looks dodgy.. especially in HD.. i just saw this again on cable.. free trial..

Yeah I watched it not too long ago, and the CGI heavy scenes wouldn't even be tolerable in a video game these days.

Also Micheal Jai White is awesome and if you need martial arts ba stuff or intimidating guy he is great but as an actor he is only middle of the field.

It shows in Spawn with a lot of more acting heavy scenes. Which to me it's an important to have a guy who can act cause a lot of Spawn's epicness comes from his torment as much as his BA factor.

With a lot of lessons learned from early attempts at comic book movies a spawn reboot would probably be way better today than the 97 one was.

If they could make it like the toon and get an R rating instead of a PG-13 so stupid little kids can see it I would give it a chance...And McFarlane is a douchebag. Always has been always will be.

Never even seen the cartoon when it was out, Unless it never got shown in Australia.

There were some toons on Youtube but not all of them.

Some more news from Todd McFarlane

McFarlane says that there is an Academy Award winning actor just waiting to get a script on the project

Hm.. I'm not a big Cuba Gooding fan, but hey, if he wants it and will get it made, then god bless 'im.

Denzel Washington would be different, He hasn't done one of these comic book movies.

Denzel would be much better.

Denzel is a great actor and just by association he makes a movie better.

Watch it. The first season dragged a bit but in the end it was as edgy as a dark superhero show gets.

And to illustrate my earlier point. There is no way the censors would have allowed a live action version of that anime onto the public. Especially considering the money involved to make the film/films.

I liked the original movie, but then I like watching old fashioned films with their cheesy SFX. And michael jai white did a great job as he tends to do.

I hope they make a new spawn soon. With MJW reprising the role. Denzel is a bad idea. Maybe it's just because I just saw Flight, he's looking too old for such a role.

Black action stars are virtually non existant
So Mjw would probably be their choice

Whatever hapened to that djimon hounsou
He would be a good spawn
