SWAMP-THING: James Wan And Deran Sarafian Sign On To Direct Pilot Episode For DC Universe Streaming Service
There are a number of TV shows in the works for Warner Bros.' planned DC Universe streaming service and it's now been revealed that Aquaman helmer James Wan will co-direct the planned pilot episode...
Warner Bros. has found a great deal of success with its TV shows and while DC Entertainment continues to struggle with its big screen endeavours, the studio is definitely beating Marvel Studios on the small screen. That looks set to continue with the DC Universe streaming service, a platform which will feature a number of TV shows, including Titans, Doom Patrol, Metropolis, and Swamp-Thing.
Now, That Hashtag Show has revealed that Aquaman director James Wan will co-direct the latter's pilot alongside Deran Sarafian. Wan was named as an executive producer last month and so it makes sense that he'll take on a larger role in proceedings, especially as his name being connected to it will generate interest. Sarafian, meanwhile, has over two decades of TV experience so he definitely knows his stuff.
His credits include shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, House, and Fringe. A pilot episode is massively important because it not only sets the stage for what comes next but has to hook viewers and get them to tune into the rest of the series. Now that Swamp-Thing has a set of directors, we'll hopefully start hearing some casting news soon especially as character breakdowns have already surfaced online.
