On the heels of the recent trailer, DC Universe has released a couple of new promo posters for the upcoming
Swamp Thing live-action series.
Though they were glimpsed very briefly in the teaser, this artwork gives us a first proper look at series leads Abby Arcane (Crystal Reed) and Alec Holland (Andy Bean) in the process of being absorbed by the swamp's mystical vegetation.
We recently
found out that cameras had stopped rolling on
Swamp Thing prematurely, and that the show will only air 10 of its originally scheduled 13 episodes. Despite what appear to be some pretty significant behind-the scenes problems, it is still in track for its May 31st premiere.
Swamp Thing” centers on CDC researcher Abby Arcane (Reed). When she returns to her childhood home of Houma, Louisiana, in order to investigate a deadly swamp-borne virus, she develops a surprising bond with scientist Alec Holland — only to have him tragically taken from her. But as powerful forces descend on Houma, intent on exploiting the swamp’s mysterious properties for their own purposes, Abby will discover that the swamp holds mystical secrets, both horrifying and wondrous — and the potential love of her life may not be dead after all.
Swamp Thing is being developed as a one-hour show, and has Mark Verheiden
(Battlestar Galactica) and Gary Dauberman (
It) on board to write the pilot. They'll also executive produce alongside Michael Clear and James Wan. Len Wiseman will helm the first episode.
