A Movie with Deadman, Swamp Thing and John Constantine? Directed By Guillermo Del Toro? Yeah, Right.
This bit of comic-related movie news hit the nerdwebs this month:
Our friends over at Latino-Review have just broken one hell of a story. According to the site, Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pacific Rim) will soon begin work on a DC Comics adaptation for Warner Bros. called Heaven Sent, and it will bring together some of the most well-known supernatural characters from that comic book universe, including:
• Deadman
• The Spectre
• Swamp Thing
• John Constantine
• Phantom Stranger
• Zatanna
• Zatara
• Sargon
• Etrigan the Demon
[…] Warner’s lawyers are currently hard at work on making sure they have the rights to bring each of these characters to the big screen…
Del Toro has said he’d “love to” do the movie, but there have so far been no reports of actual contract negotitations or scripts being written. Never mind that Warner Bros has only recently announced the release date of the “Justice League” movie (you know, the one with the only DC characters most people have actually heard of). In short, putting Heaven Sent together anytime soon would be quite a trick. Ha ha.
