Syfy revealed that its first original documentary Todd McFarlane: Like Hell I Won’t will make its world premiere as the opening film for “Syfy Fan Fest”. The docu about the iconic creator of the cult comic book Spawn will be released on July 25 at 11 pm ET on Syfy’s YouTube page, Syfy.com and on-demand. On top of all that, McFarlane shared the first trailer for the docu.
Directed by David Oster, Todd McFarlane: Like Hell I Won’t follows the titular rebel who, at the beginning of his career, was turned away by numerous comic publications. He decided that since no one was recognizing his talent, he would take matters in his own hands. McFarlane eventually became the CEO of McFarlane Toys and President of Image Comics and Legendary Artist. The docu provides an in-depth view behind the mastermind that brought us Spawn and some of Marvel Comic’s most well-known artwork. It paints a portrait of his struggles to navigate and upend the status quo in the comic and toy industries.
