‘Swamp Factor’ Director James Mangold Reveals New Particulars About DC Universe Horror Film
The DC Universe retains getting scarier! James Mangold reveals new particulars about his upcoming Swamp Factor movie.
Out of all of the movies introduced for the preliminary slate of the DC Universe, Swamp Factor is the one which had followers most perplexed. Whereas he wasn’t essentially the most obscure character to land a venture (that honor would go to The Authority), the character simply had a cult-hit streaming sequence that was cancelled after a single season. The movie’s director was additionally introduced to be James Mangold, who was barreling towards a profession low with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Future.
But issues are wanting up for Swamp Factor. In an interview with MovieWeb to advertise his latest Bob Dylan biopic A Full Unknown, James Mangold revealed a couple of particulars concerning the upcoming movie. Particularly, that he views the venture as a horror movie that stands by itself within the DC Universe, no matter how the brass on the high take into account the venture for his or her broader franchise.
“With Bob [Dylan] you’ve recognized portions, sure, however there are methods to interpret them. With different kinds of IP, it will get to a spiritual stage. Swamp Factor at DC, it’s only a matter of – will we discover a method on the web page to say one thing authentic? Whereas I’m positive DC views Swamp Factor as a franchise, I’d be viewing it as a quite simple, clear, Gothic horror film about this man/monster. Simply doing my very own factor with this, only a standalone.”
Will Swamp Factor Be Too Related To Clayface?
James Mangold’s description might have some followers worrying that Swamp Factor might edge too near the tone of Mike Flanagan’s Clayface film set to movie later this yr. Nevertheless, regardless of being two horror movies set within the DC Universe, the tasks have been described very in another way. Flanagan has described Clayface as just like the body-horror traditional The Fly, whereas Mangold has beforehand described Swamp Factor as being just like Frankenstein.
Followers shouldn’t get too excited, although. It’ll doubtless be some time earlier than Swamp Factor finds his solution to the DC Universe. With James Mangold wrapping manufacturing on A Full Unknown, he plans to place his full consideration into his Star Wars movie exploring the Daybreak of the Jedi. Assuming the director takes no different tasks between that and Swamp Factor, it’ll doubtless be a minimal of six years earlier than the venture hits screens.
