Producer Joel Silver has reportedly admitted that he wants to remake Swamp Thing .

The original 1982 movie, which was directed by Wes Craven and starred Louis Jordan, focused on a scientist who's transformed into a monster after one of his experiments goes wrong. It was followed by 1989 sequel The Return Of The Swamp Thing , which featured Heather Locklear.

Silver has expressed an interest in reviving the franchise, while utilising 3-D technology.

He told Collider : "I'm developing a picture now that I'd like to do? I'll hopefully do Swamp Thing , which is a movie we've had for a long time."

He added: "We think that would be great to do in 3-D. There are a couple of projects I'm thinking about [for the format] but not everything."

It was reported recently that Silver will produce a new He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe movie, tentatively titled Grayskull .
