Two films that I am really looking forward to are now being delayed.
"Green Lantern," the story of how Hal Jordan became a galactic enforcer and super hero on Earth, and "Sucker Punch," Zack Snyder's story about girls in a psych ward who dream of escape, are both being delayed to 2011.
According to Screen Rant, "A few weeks back, Screen Rant reported on the hefty $150 million budget that was being allocated by Warner Brothers for the production of 'Green Lantern.' In that article, Screen Rant writer Kofi discussed the strange December release date for the Green Lantern movie that was set to open in December of 2010 and hoped that we wouldn’t get close to that date and see it mysteriously get pushed back to the following summer (a la Harry Potter 6).
Well, three weeks later it happened and now Green Lantern is scheduled to open June 17, 2011. It will share the summer with several Marvel superheroes from upcoming 'Thor' and 'Captain America' movies as well as Sony’s 'Spider-Man 4.'
As for Zack Snyder’s 'Sucker Punch,' much of the news we’ve been hearing lately has to do with some lead actresses dropping out of the movie. Perhaps that has something to do with the delay as now, instead of an October 8, 2010 release, 'Sucker Punch' will hit theaters March 25, 2011.'"
Hopefully this will give more time to the filmmakers to make the film that we all want to see. Snyder has a film with another March release and "Green Lantern" goes up against a host of Marvel movies.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
