December 3, 2002 — From Comics2Film's interview with new Spawn 2 scribe Hans Rodionoff:
C2F spoke to Rodionoff to get his perspective on the project. While one of his goals is to bring Spawn back into the story, he agrees with the decision to emphasize Sam and Twitch over the dark hero.
"One of the challenges of doing a movie where the protagonist is a demon is that it's kind of hard to feel for that character. One of the things Niles and Todd did with the last draft was have it be more of a Sam and Twitch story," Rodionoff said. "The problem is it became solely a Sam and Twitch movie and there wasn't enough Spawn."
Rodionoff plans to depict the detectives in a less comedic light, and play up the maverick hearts that Sam and Twitch often display in the comics. "The way that I see these two characters is not so much like a fat guy with a donut stuck on his ass and a nerdy guy with big coke-bottle glasses," Rodionoff said. "These guys are more like Riggs and Murtaugh [from Lethal Weapon]. If you dropped Blade into Lethal Weapon, you've got sort of what I'm going for."
