talent that has
signed on to the Spawn

Foxx ( Spawn),
and NOW Jeremy

for when first
visualizing this

director. “As a
first-time feature
film director, I’m
humbled by the
level of talented
people putting
their trust into my
film project.”

SPAWN creator, Todd

directorial debut.
McFarlane, an

Productions.
SPAWN sold an

monthly comic
books, with
hundreds of
millions sold
worldwide in more

The comic became an

animated series on
HBO and a New Line
Cinema feature film
that grossed more
than $100 million.
McFarlane went on
to direct and
produce
award-winning and
critically
