Die nächste Marvel-Comicverfilmung kommt!



Los Angeles, CA, October 23, 2003 – Artisan Entertainment will bring MAN-THING, a collaboration between Marvel Studios and Fierce Entertainment, based on the popular Marvel Comics' character, to theatres nationwide on August 27, 2004.

Adapted to the screen by Hans Rodionoff from the original 1970's Marvel comic book character and directed by Brett Leonard, MAN-THING was produced by Marvel Studios and Fierce Entertainment in association with German equity fund Screenland Movieworld.

Marvel's terrifying creature of the swamp, MAN-THING screams onto our screens in the new horror motion picture that presents a very different kind of character to the usual Marvel superhero. Based on the cult comic book series that was first published in 1971, the MAN-THING is a vengeful creature born from the evil and injustices perpetrated against both man and nature.

Commented Mr. Gunn, ""Uncharacteristic of the typical Marvel characters brought to life on the big screen, MAN-THING brings a chilling component not previously showcased in Marvel comic based films. We feel this film impressively introduces MAN-THING in a manner that will really thrill the viewing public ."

The cast also features newcomers Matt Le Nevez ("Garage Days" diected by Alex Proyas), Rachel Taylor ("Natalie Wood – Hollywood's Last Child" by Peter Bogdanavich), and Steve Bastoni ("The Matrix Reloaded", "Enter The Matrix").

Eigentlich nicht. Es wird ja eine Verfilmung der Man-Thing Comics, die es schon vor Swamp Thing gab. Aber Parallelen sind natürlich vorhanden. Vielleicht hat sich Wes Craven ja auch von den Comics inspierieren lassen.
