DC's "Swamp Thing" - The Green New Deal

DC Studios will move forward on a new live-action feature film adaptation of DC Comics' super anti-hero "Swamp Thing", a humanoid-plant elemental creature, created by writer Len Wein and illustrator Bernie Wrightson, with producers promising to adhere to the character's comic book 'horror roots':

"...in a secret facility located in the Louisiana bayous, scientist 'Alec Holland' and his wife 'Linda' invent a bio-restorative formula that can solve any nations' food shortage problems. 

"Two thugs working for 'Nathan Ellery', head of the criminal organization the 'Conclave', barge into Alec's lab, knocks him out and plants a bomb in the facility. 

"Alec wakes up as the bomb explodes. In flames, he runs into the swamp. His body is drenched in the bio-restorative formula, affecting plant life in the swamp, imbuing it with Alec's consciousness and memories.

"....the latest in a long line of 'Earth' elementals created when the 'Green' is in need of protection..."
