Adrienne Barbeau Deletes SWAMP THING Tweet; Status in Upcoming TV Series Unknown
In 1982, horror icon Adrienne Barbeau starred in Wes Craven’s Swamp Thing as Alice Cable. Now, there’s a new Swamp Things TV series in the works with James Wan producing for DC’s streaming service. Late last week, Barbeau tweeted that she would be participating in the upcoming series; Wan responded, welcoming her aboard.
Since then, however, Barbeau has deleted her tweet. Without an official statement from DC, many fans have been left to wonder about the scream queen’s status as it relates to the upcoming series. It would be awesome, of course, to see Barbeau return to the swamp, but at this point, I think we all need to take a wait and see approach.
We’ll keep our ears to the ground for Swamp Thing-related news in order to relay all pertinent information. Stay tuned! In the meantime, check out the synopsis and trailer for 1982’s Swamp Thing below.
Synopsis:
On the verge of a breakthrough in his
quest to wipe out world hunger, altruistic botanist Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise)
is placed under the protection of special government agent Alice Cable
(Adrienne Barbeau). Mad outlaw scientist Anton Arcane (Louis Jourdan) wants to
steal Holland’s research for his own nefarious ends, but an unforeseen accident
during the heist turns Holland into the Swamp Thing, an enormous plant-like
creature that fights back against Arcane’s henchmen to save Cable.
