Actor-Director Cuyle Carvin Talks The Walking Dead, Swamp Thing And His Film Dolls

Actor turned director Cuyle Carvin has been a busy man lately between his roles on DC Universe’s “Swamp Thing”, “The Walking Dead”, and directing his haunted doll film, simply titled Dolls, which Cuyle sat down with me to discuss. In Dolls, a struggling children’s book author and his rebellious teenage daughter move into a house they’ve inherited and find mysterious dolls in the attic. They soon learn that the dolls have a sinister — and deadly — past. Thomas Downey, Trinity Simpson and genre icon Dee Wallace star in Dolls, written by Justin Hawkins and Josh Hawkins, with Jeff Miller (Ouija House, The Toybox) also contributing to the story. Horror Fuel: “Do you mind if I ask about your role of The Walking Dead? And playing a Savior?” Cuyle Carvin: “It’s my favorite show. Half of my career, especially at the start, I played a lot of bad guys. Bad guys are more fun I think. Most actors will probably

“Swamp Thing” Emerges From The Muck In First Teaser

Earlier today we reported that “Swamp Thing” was in jeopardy as is the streaming network DC Universe. The series, originally set to feature 13 episodes has been cut down to 10 with rewrites ordered. The studio suddenly halted production before the last 3 episodes could be filmed. Within the past few hours, DC Universe has released a teaser trailer for “Swamp Thing” which I imagine was to boost fans’ interest along with giving fans confidence. The first teaser gives us our first look at Swamp Thing, played by Derek Mears (Friday the 13th (2009), Men in Black II), and he looks a lot like the comic book character he was based on by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. Jennifer Beals, Virginia Madsen, Ian Ziering, Will Patton, Andy Bean, Crystal Reed, Kevin Durand, Henderson Wade, Jeryl Prescott, and Maria Sten also star. “Ash vs. Evil Dead” writer Mark Verheiden and IT co-writer Gary Dauberman penned the series’ script.

Is “Swamp Thing” And DC Universe Dead?

The last time we reported on DC Universe’s “Swamp Thing” was set to premiere in May. Now, troubling news is being reported by Star New Online. According to the outlet, production on the James Wan-produced series has been shut down early, leaving the series’ future hanging in the balance. Star reports, “The currently in-production project is being shut down earlier than expected as its producer, Warner Bros., evaluates the future of its DC Universe streaming service, on which the series was scheduled to premiere on May 31, according to several sources within the local industry.” They went on to say, “Local crew members were notified of the unexplained development Tuesday night, and were told the project would wrap production on episode 10 then halt as writers and producers rewrite an ending. Initially, the show was scheduled to film 13 episodes through May.” Cutting the season short? Rewrites? That doesn’t sound good for “Swamp Thing” and its stars, Jennifer Beals, Virginia
