Green Lantern News


Word is finally getting out on "Green Lantern" and the DC film is finally being made with Martin Campbell at the helm and set for a release date of Dec. 16, 2010.

Here are the latest bits of news hardened down to bullet points for the straight facts.

* They’re definitely going with the Hal Jordan version of Green Lantern.

* A lot of time will be used to establish the character of Hal Jordan, so that audiences can connect with him prior to acquiring the ring that gives him his superpowers.

* Big stakes and big action, but there will be humor in the film (think a similar tone to Iron Man, rather than The Dark Knight).

* They are in pre-production, they have a production designer and a costume designer and they’re heading to Australia next week to scout locations.

* They are NOT going for a younger Hal Jordan - they’re looking for someone in their late 20’s/early 30’s.

I am really excited to finally see a "Green Lantern" movie being made because that will make it one step closer to a possible "Justice League" movie (just need to get "Flash" and "Wonder Woman" off the ground next).
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
