Things are very terrifying, creepy, mossy and kind of wet in the first trailer
for DC Universe’s first trailer for Swamp Thing. You can feel the humidity and
marshy air steaming off of this trailer that plays out more like a horror
series rather than something of the superhero — but it comes from James Wan so
would you expect anything less?

Last week, Ian Ziering shared a teaser of the series, but today the DC Universe
gave us an extended first look. Set debut on May 31, Swamp Thing follows Abby
Arcane as she investigates what seems to be a deadly swamp-born virus in a
small town in Louisiana but soon discovers that the swamp holds mystical and
terrifying secrets. And as seen in the trailer, unexplainable and chilling
horrors emerge from the murky marsh and as soon as that happens, everyone’s
safety is in question.

Andy Bean (Power) will star as Alec Holland, the scientist who transforms into
the titular leafy green Swamp Thing. Crystal Reed (Teen Wolf) stars as CDC
researcher Abby Arcane. The series also features Jennifer Beals (The L Word) as
Sheriff Lucilia Cable, Maria Sten (Channel Zero) as part-time reporter Liz
Treymane, Will Patton (Falling Skies) as the scheming Avery Sunderland,
Virginia Madsen as the privileged Maria Sunderland, and Jeryl Prescott (The
Walking Dead) as the mysterious Madame Xanadu.

Wan, Mark Verheiden, Gary Dauberman, Michael Clear and Len Wiseman are
executive producers of Swamp Thing, which is based on the DC Comics character
created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. Rob Hackett is co-producer. The
series is produced by Wan’s Atomic Monster in association with Warner Bros.
Television. Verheiden & Dauberman are writing the first episode, which Wiseman
is set to direct.

A whole post about a trailer, but no trailer.

"Swamp Thing has never looked more like a man in a suit"

The glowing reviews on The YouTube are so obviously written by PR hacks it's
embarrassing.

You and I both know PR hacks are incapable of embarrassment. Its a job
prerequisite!
