Crystal Reed over haar rol als Abby in Swamp Thing

Twee dagen geleden werd bekend dat Swamp Thing al na één aflevering gecancled is. Want verdomd jammer is aangezien deze show verdomd veel potentie heeft omdat het een hele aparte bijna Resident Evil achtige gore vibe heeft en wat ik een redelijk leuke cast vind, mede door de prachtige Crystal Reed die bij het grote publiek bekend is uit diverse teen film en haar rol als Sophia Falcone in de TV serie Gotham. Crystal Reed had voor de fatale bekendmaking een interview met de website Collider waar ze onder andere vertelde over haar voorbereiding op de rol van Abby Arcane. Het eerste seizoen van Swamp Thing zal overigens wel volledig worden uitgezonden en dat zijn in totaal tien afleveringen.


Swamp Thing and the character of Abby Arcane have quite a history, through comics, a live-action show, an animated series and movies. Did you read any of the comics or watch any other versions of this story, prior to doing this?

REED
: I had seen Wes Craven's film, awhile back, and then I re-watched it and thought it was brilliant. For what it was, it was great. Then, I knew that our series was based on Alan Moore's run of the comic. I was in New York when I found out that I got the role, and I went to a bunch of comic book stores, which is really fun. I'd never been, and I just picked up all of the comics. DC sent me a bunch, as well, and I couldn't stop reading them. It's funny, I didn't know how to read a comic, so I actually had to do a Google search for, “How do you read a comic?” It's not like a book. You have to read it a certain way. So, I did and I couldn't put it down. I had those comics with me, in my bag, everywhere that I went in New York, and I was reading them non-stop. That particular run is so dynamic and beautifully illustrated. The language is so rich that it really drew me in, and it make me more excited to play Abby.
