Director Guillermo Del Toro took a few minutes during Wondercon's "Pacific Rim" panel to give an update on the progress of "Dark Universe." The project, which stars the dark heroes of the DC Universe, was mentioned a little over a month ago, with Del Toro prepping his pitch for the higher ups at Warner Bros. While Del Toro didn't divulge any info on that meeting with Warner Bros., the information he did reveal seems to hint that things are progressing quite nicely.
Del Toro revealed that he has written the story bible for the film and currently has a screenwriter drafting it into a screen play. While the screenwriter's identity is shrouded in mystery, the cast of "Dark Universe" is pretty clear. Swamp Thing will make his return to the big screen after almost a quarter century absence; he'll be joined by Deadman, the Spectre, Zatanna, Etrigan the Demon and John Constantine.
