yup, it's true...

The Green Lantern movie has finally been given a green light...

While no casting on George Miller's Justice League movie has been confirmed, names seemingly are pouring in for the projected spin-off movies starring the various members of DC Comics' greatest superteam.

According to Variety, the latest name to be thrown into the ring to direct a Green Lantern movie for Warner Bros. is Greg Berlanti, a television writer and executive producer who is responsible for shows like "Dirty Sexy Money," "Brothers & Sisters," "Everwood," "Jack and Bobby," and "Dawson's Creek."

Berlanti, who directed the 2000 feature The Broken Hearts Club, will co-write the script with "Brothers & Sisters" co-writer Marc Guggenheim, who has a good amount of comic book writing experience, and Michael Green, the co-executive-producer of NBC's hit show "Heroes."

Warner Bros. has set Greg Berlanti to direct "Green Lantern," a live-action take on the DC Comics superhero.

Berlanti will write the script with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green. Donald De Line will produce; Andrew Haas is exec producer.

"Green Lantern" was hatched in 1940. Hal Jordan, a second-generation test pilot, is an ordinary man who has been charged with defending a sector of the universe.

Warner Bros. and DC Comics assigned the project to De Line, who is currently in Morocco shooting "Body of Lies," the Ridley Scott-directed WB drama that stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe.

Guggenheim, who works with Berlanti as a writer-producer on "Brothers & Sisters," wrote the Marvel comicbooks "Amazing Spider-Man," "Wolverine" and "Blade." Green, the "Heroes" co-exec producer who worked with Berlanti on "Everwood" and "Jack & Bobby," wrote the Marvel Comics title "Superman/Batman" and was a writer-producer on "Smallville."

as long as they spend a decent amount of money on the SFX, and have an amazing score for it, i think it could be bigger than X-Men / Spiderman movies combined

its the SFX that have me worried, how are they going to do them and make them look better than the JLA movie that came out?

acewasp23 says:

if they have someone doing it who has a good imagination, then i can see it being amazing

M

I hope Weta Digital does it...

Sure, thats my patriotic duty as a Kiwi (New Zealand) but I still get blown away by their work

I think Top Gun era Tom Cruise would have made a good Hal. Too bad he's older and crazy now...

it could but how do you make green energy look good in a live action movie?

How about Jonathan Rhys? He's from Bend It Like Beckham, the one who played the coach? Or maybe Ryan Gosling? I think Hugh Jackman would play a good GL because he's got the body but his face is too wrinkly now.

acewasp23 says:

as long as they get the right SFX department to do it...

it could be fking amazing to see

M

this is what i dont want to see though. lol

i think this is what is could be like...
