Aw yeah, love for Prop Store of London. I mentioned that I'm binge watching Tested/Adam Savage videos, and PSOL features a lot in the prop and wardrobe builds.

They misspelled Jimmy Buffett's name in the credits.

“Swamp Thing” To Be A Hard R And Practical

Lagging behind, but still very much on the way, is the new series adaptation of “Swamp Thing” which is still in the midst of casting ahead of filming beginning in the Fall. Writer Gary Dauberman (“The Nun,” “IT”) is working on the series alongside filmmakers James Wan (“The Conjuring”) and Len Wiseman (“Live Free or Die Hard”) and spoke with Slashfilm this week about their aims for the series.

First up, the creature itself which he confirms is a physical costume and says: “it’s going to look amazing and less of the ‘man in suit’ that you’ve seen in the movie and the other TV show”. That suggests a blend of practical and CG enhancement. He’s also made it very clear that Swamp Thing would have a hard R rating:

“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. Because we’re doing it through the DC streaming service, they really pushed us, although they didn’t 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.”

I'd still love to see Alex Garland do this as you can already see his annihilation work as a setting for swamp thing, but everything about the above sounds good (maybe not Len Wiseman, but I think it'll still be ok if he's just doing the pilot and won't be the show runner). The Alan Moore comics genuinely f*cked with my head, so if done well, this should be awesome

[NTP66]

To be honest, the only thing I know about Swamp Thing was from The Return of Swamp Thing in the late 80s. I loved it as a kid.

[eddy]

Yes, I loved that movie. Wes craven swamp thing movie is pretty rad too.

Is Solo: A Star Wars Story worth watching for somebody who has thought the last few SW movies were just okay?

[Freddy Rumsen]

I liked it.

[Silentom]

I enjoyed it a good bit, and the end reveal is awesome.

[NTP66]

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

Despite concurring with Freddy's recco, don't pay any attention to his opinions on SW movies. Just sort of omit them from your reckoning.

Solo is a fun mashup of western, heist, and sort of buddy cop pictures. There's one scene in particular that could have been badly overplayed, but they skirted the high wire just fine. It's not going to blow anyone's skirt up, but it's a fun movie. And that's what I want from Star Wars.

[Freddy Rumsen]

Touche, tifo

Solo would be much better remembered if it came out in December.

[nocera]

Solo is a fun heist/action movie that I would've liked a lot more had it not been called Solo. I still maintain that of all the original characters, Han is the last one who needed a backstory.

Olivia Munn is quite the annoying NTP66 isn't she?

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Yeah but she's hot so it doesn't matter.

[shafnutz05]

Olivia Munn is quite the annoying NTP66 isn't she?

She had to stand near a convicted sex offender for a while and say some lines! You can't imagine what that's like!

[eddy]

Sounds like the new Halloween movie is awesome

I was lucky to get into a screening.

It's amazing. Best since the original hands down. You will not be disappointed.

All news about the new predator movie is about this. I don't think this is what they had in mind when promoting the movie the last 2 weeks. Wonder how much of an effect it's going to have
