Swamp Thing Blu-Ray

Wes Craven's camp-classic comics adaptation Swamp Thing is headed to Blu-Ray in August, according to Scream Factory, the disc's distributor. While the film has been available on home video and streaming on Netflix for quite a while, this will be its first high-definition release. The 1982 film stars Ray Wise, Adrienne Barbeau and Louis Jourdan as Dr. Alec Holland, his love interest and his nemesis Anton Arcane, respectively. The film will be available in a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack but does not appear to have any special features other than the Hi-Def transfer. The video will reportedly only feature the 91-minute U.S. theatrical cut of the film and not the 93-minute unrated cut due to legal issues. Swamp Thing is expected to appear in Dark Universe, a film being conceived and co-written by Hellboy and Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro and featuring a number of the DC Universe's supernatural characters, including John Constantine and Etrigan the Demon.
