Todd McFarlane is officially writing and directing a brand-new Spawn movie, and we've got the exclusive details direct from the horse's mouth.

The film, which was announced earlier today, will team up McFarlane (in his directorial debut) with all-star horror producer Jason Blum and Blumhouse Studios. Blumhouse has produced such hit films as Paranormal Activity and The Purge, along with their sequels.

McFarlane sat down with SYFY WIRE to discuss the process of bringing this film to screens more than 20 years after the original Spawn and tells us he hopes for the film to hit theaters in late 2018.
