‘Ninja Assassin’ producer talks ‘Swamp Thing’, ‘Lobo’, ‘Sgt. Rock’
Joel Silver talks Lobo and Swamp Thing movies
Die Hard and The Matrix producer Joel Silver is promising that Swamp Thing 3D will arrive in theaters but not until after Halloween 2010.
“It’s happening so we’ll see what happens,” says Silver. “I mean, it’s something I’m excited about doing and I want to hopefully pull that off, so we’re working on that now.”
While talking about his Swamp Thing project, Silver also updated fans on the progress of the Lobo and Sgt. Rock graphic novel adaptations.
When asked if it would be released in time for Halloween next year, Silver said he “didn’t think” it would be ready that soon.
Silver, sadly admitted that he was uncertain about the current state of the Lobo project: “It’s up to the studio to make the decision what they want to do. So, I’m waiting to see if they want to make that movie,” he said.
When asked about the planned Sgt. Rock film, Silver said that director Francis Lawrence “has got a real vision of this thing, and if we can pull it off it’ll be a great movie”.
Joel Silver’s latest project, Ninja Assassin, is currently playing in theaters.
