“Swamp Thing” Gets Another Remake

The good news is that it looks like a Swamp Thing movie is finally going to be made that respects the original character. Akiva Goldsman, the screenwriter, describes the movie in terms that would make any comic book fan smile and nod: “We want a film with real Southern, dark horror overtones, a little bit like a classic Universal horror film.” The only problem? He’s the same screenwriter who wrote Batman and Robin and Lost in Space. Just don’t put nipples on his costume, okay?
