| Topic | The upcoming Swamp Thing television show is aiming for a Hard R rating |
| Bad_Mojo 09/11/18 1:16:49 AM #1: | The DC Universes Swamp Thing series wont be a kids-themed project, according to co-writer Gary Dauberman. Dauberman (best known for IT), who is co-writing alongside Mark Verheiden, told /Film that the live-action series will aim for a hard R-style rating due to the creative freedom they have on the streaming platform. We always set out to make Swamp Thing as hard R as we could and go graphic with the violence, with the adult themes and make it as scary as possible, Dauberman said. Because were doing it through the DC streaming service, they really pushed us, although they didnt have to push hard, for us to go as extreme as we could. We really took our inspiration from the Alan Moore run in Swamp Thing, this landmark I think run. Fans of that series will know it gets pretty weird and extreme and scary. He added, We really wanted to live up to that standard that Moore set up back in the 80s. Then of course it allows us, Swamp Thing himself looks incredible what Justin Raleigh and the guys over at Fractured are doing with the suit. So its going to look amazing and less of the man in suit that youve seen in the movie and the other TV show. The live-action series is still at the pilot stage, and has not yet been ordered to series. Len Wiseman is directing the pilot, with a possible 2019 launch date for the show. --- ...
