The LA Times Blog have run a fascinating article on Akiva Goldsman, writer on a handful of Ron Howard's most esteemed films such as A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man and The Da Vinci Code, as well as Will Smith's I Am Legend and (uh-hem) Batman & Robin. He stepped behind the camera to direct a few episodes of Fringe, but is most currently attached to produce several comic book properties for the big screen.

This is a childhood classic. Can't wait to see where they go with it. (I say classic knowing full well how lame it was but hey...I was a kid)

Hopefully they do the DC comics character some justice, and possibly a cameo by the titular brat-prince, John Constantine. That would be a refreshing twist!

i like what direction he said he would like to take it, a southern dark horror overtone and like universal monster movies. i would love to see a creature from the black lagoon remake. they need to get swamp thing and creature from the lagoon remake on the fast track.

being a HUGE swamp thing fan, i could only see Guillermo del Toro really being able to do this any justice. those alan moore stories are pretty deep and trippy. it would take someone with a real passion and understanding of the characters to really make me happy with any movie version.

Wes Craven's SWAMP THING is a classic. I loved that film as a kid and still like it. Sure the suit looked kinda hokey but that was because it was designed with some other than **** Durrock in mind. But when that person backed out it was too late to fix the suit to fit Durrock's thinner frame.
I really would love to see a Guillermo Del Toro interpretation of Swamp Thing. Loved his Hellboy and think he'd be the perfect man to do the character justice. I'd stick more with the original Wein/Wrightson interpretation though. Really couldn't stand the Alan Moore era Swamp Thing.
