'Splice' director eyes 'Swamp Thing'?

Splice director Vincenzo Natali has said that he would like to revive Swamp Thing on the silver screen.

According to MTV, Natali expressed his interest in a film based on the DC Comics character at the recent WonderCon in San Francisco.

"There are two incarnations of Swamp Thing - both of them are quite wonderful," Natali said.

He added: "[Comic book writer] Alan Moore reinvented the character in the early '80s, and that's actually the version that's a little more interesting to me."

It has been said that Matrix producer Joel Silver was interested in bringing the character back to film, but nothing has been confirmed.
