Swamp Thing support

Well, I think Toxic Avenger is not even B-List , its more C-List on a Hollywood scale.

Could be remade into a box office smash. Possibly have Christopher Walken do the role.

Well anything with Mr. Walken is worth seeing I'll agree.

With the release of his two best known films, Re-Animator (1985) and From Beyond (1986), both of which are blood-soaked low-budget extravaganzas based on the work of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, filmmaker Stuart Gordon gained a cult following as one of his generation's most creative horror directors. Though aficionados can appreciate his facility and willingness to use plenty of gut-wrenchingly gory special effects, it is the perverse humorous twists that he adds to his tales that have made him a favorite among connoisseurs.



The more I think about him, the more I like him as a choice for a Swampy re-make.

Also, I'd luv to see Christopher Walken playing Arcane. That would be priceless.

Would anybody be interested in a Swamp Thing re-write? Preferably someone who is a great fan with knowledge of his origin.

I'm hoping there is still someone out there.

I'm hoping someone catches SWAMP FEVER soon and is interested in a rough draft.

Well a quick few thoughts would be....

Director : Tim Burton

Arcane : Johhny Depp

Dr. Holland : someone low key, up & coming, that can act, 30ish........still thinking...

Michael Keaton for Swamp Thing! :-P

I would rather not see silliness in a Swamp Thing movie. I would rather see serious Sci-Fi. What about Guillermo Del'Toro? And a screen write colaboration between him and Goyer?

Right now, I would sign up to see that.

 

[deathshead2]

Del'Toro would be great with any movie. Man they need a good swamp thing movie.

With only Batman & Superman in their current stable...I would think DC would jump at the chance to get Swamp Thing rolling.

 

[CAH]

I would watch a del Toro ST movie.

CAH

You know who would have been an awesome Arcane ? Anthony Perkins - Mr. Norman Bates himself.

He would of back in his day......who would you cast now?

Hmmm . . . . Good question. Christopher Lloyd? Matt Frewer < Max Headroom, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Dawn of the Dead.

Those are choices, in my opinion, if you want to make a comedy farce of Swamp Thing. I guess my choice for Arcane would be the actor who played the 'young Hannibal' in the latest Hannibal Lecter film.

I'd like to see a new Swamp Thing, but I would actually spin it off of a Constantine sequel...have JC investigating him much like he was in the comics where he frist appeared, then do a spin off origin movie for Swampy afterwards...

Is an interesting angle...never thought of that one.

They don't have to play a comedic take on the character. My choice of those two was based off of Bernie Wrightson's design for Anton. Lloyd just looks the part. But my choice for Frewer was mainly because of his role in Dawn of the Dead. He's got the look and he played a serious role in that movie. I'd go with an older actor becuase of Arcane's quest for longer life and that along with Bernie's art just says old mad scientist to me, ya know? But now that you mention 'Hannibal' what about Anthony Hopkins? I know he'd never do it but ya gotta admitt it does have a measure of appeal.

I would be down with that.

Most definately.

And you would rather not see a comedic campy Swamp Thing movie?

 

[The Shredder]

So anything starring Chris Walken is considered comedic/campy these days?

Have you seen the last few roles he's been in? Do I even have to mention Batman Returns?

He's had other roles in which were more extreme, and he excelled in them as well.

Glad you agree.

You must be in the minority on thinking Walken can't act.

The Dear Hunter, The Dead Zone , Brainstorm, King of New York, True Romance . . . Great actor, great roles!!!! But name a really serious role he's done lately. Most of his roles as of late have been silly and campy and he was only there to be Christopher Walken.
Never said he couldn't act. Really don't apreciate the misquote there!

 

[deathshead2]

I loved Walken in the Rundown.

Ok, I apologize in misquoting you. I thought you hinted at it. But I see your point, yes some of his roles are campy.....but I'm assuming that's how he was told to act. Because we know his dramatic chops are worthy.

Thanks for the apology. And I agree his dramatic chops are worthy, but I just don't want to be so quick to cast someone that gives off the campy. I know I know same could be said about my choices. I guess I'm just a little jaded about his Batman Returns role when he should have played Carmine Falcone . . . I mean how perfect would that have been? It would not have bothered me in the slightest if they brought Walken back to play Falcone. Wilkenson wouldn't have to either because he would have been the perfect Loeb. Just me I guess. But I'm 100% with you on the idea of a serious sci-fi Swamp Thing movie. I love the character and he should get better recognition than hollywood is giving him. I do remember reading a Michael Uslan interview where he stated that wanted to reinvigorate the Swamp Thing franchise.
