The movie concept design looks like a cross between the Batman Returns suit and Iron Man.

I'm trying hard not to get too excited about the prospect of a Green Lantern film despite all the news that seems to be leaking out. I'd really like to see one made at last, but, call me a pessimist, but I've a feeling the WB will soon announce back word on all of this again. Hope I'm wrong.
At least the rumours are fairly exciting, I like the fact they're using the Hal Jordan Green Lantern and it means if the initial actor they cast wants to leave after a couple of films they could always bring on Kyle Rayner or John Stewart to replace him in later films. Also Sinestro would kick ass on the big screen.

sorry, i haven't checked this thread in a while. too manyu negative memories.
as far as a brief synopsis...
mine was also an origin story of Hal Jordan, starting with Abin Sur on the run from Sinestro. At the same time, Jordan is testing a new jet and you know the rest of how Sur and Jordan's paths cross.
So, other than the obvious badguy of Sinestro (a disgraced former member of the GLC) there were some secondary villains in the form of Carl Ferris, owner of the aerospace company that Jordan was a test pilot for. His ambitions and greed put Jordan in harm's way, but also helps Hal arrive at his destiny as the GL for Sector 2814.
At one point, Sinestro kidnaps Carol Ferris and presents her with a gift. The Star Saphire. So, she is also added to the list of bad-guys (well, kinda).
All the fan favs are present and accounted for. The Guardians, Oa, The Manhunters, the rest of the GLC, etc.
Oh and all of this is filmed using comic book like transitions and act/chapter frames that look like comic book covers.
And just to add my own flair, I explain the source of the power that the lanterns and rings harness.

This article suggests that David Boreanaz and Carla Gugino could be cast as Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris.
I always thought Boreanaz would make a terrific Batman.

Yeah, not digging the glowing chest... seems odd. Aside from that its not too off.
David Boreanaz voiced Hal Jordan in Justice League: The New Frontier.

Bad call. I loved Angel, and he's not bad in Bones. But I don't think DB has the depth to do a good Hal Jordan.

The writer of that article is basing this casting on who the concept art looks like? That's pretty weak.
I don't think Boreanz would be bad but the other names in the article are more exciting, especially these 2:Nathan Fillion, Ben Browder.

I can easily see Fillion in the role — he even has the Gil Kane Silver-Age style hair!

Green Lantern Eyeing Spring Start
Source:FirstShowing.net September 29, 2008
FirstShowing.net caught up with producer Donald De Line, who says the Greg Berlanti-directed Green Lantern is nearing principal photography:
Earlier today I caught up briefly with producer Donald De Line, who is developing the Green Lantern film, and asked him for an update. He told me that "a new draft of the script came in" and they're "gearing up to start shooting early spring." While it's not confirmed, he added that "it's coming together and I'm excited about it. Hopefully we'll make it to start gate. We're really close - really close."
The Warner Bros. Pictures project is based on the comic that was created in 1940 by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell.

Huh....well he can definitely act. He just doesn't really look like Hal Jordan to me. He would be slightly younger than Hal in theory would be with Bruce running around but not too much....he definitely has grown out of his skinny young Hercules roles but does this say Hal to you?
Although everyone doubted Ledger and look what a phenomenal job he did.

Gosling is a great choice for Hal.

‘Green Lantern’ Co-Writer Marc Guggenheim On Casting Superman’s Cameo And Script Changes
Published by Jennifer Vineyard on Monday, December 1, 2008 at 12:21 pm.
The “Green Lantern” movie is rolling right along, co-screenwriter Marc Guggenheim tells us — even if digressions about other comics characters sometimes distract them from the task at hand.
“This morning, we sat down to talk Green Lantern,” Guggenheim told MTV, “and we ended up riffing for an hour and a half on another, much more obscure character. Sometimes, you just have to roll with it when inspiration strikes, you know? I’m sure the studio wouldn’t be happy about it, but we’re not going to blow the deadline. We’ll get it in.”
Guggenheim said that he and fellow screenwriters Michael Green and Greg Berlanti (who’s also directing the film) are on the third studio draft, and they’ve just been refining the script based on studio notes and locations.
“[The changes are] nothing that’s affecting the storyline, really,” he said. “It’s pretty well set. But sometimes we’ll move a scene to a different location for budget purposes, perhaps in an already established location instead of a new one. It’s a question of, which locations can we live without? It’s a constant process to streamline what you’re going through, even after the film is shot, when you’re cutting things in the edit. That’s what the rewrite process is like, how you sand down the roughness of the a movie to its smoothest.”
Besides scripting, Berlanti is in constant talks with the designers such as Aaron Sims (who recently gave us a peek at his “X-Men Origins: Magneto” character designs).
“I’ll come over and drool [at the designs],” Guggenheim said. “I will say that the design work is truly mindblowing, and it’s hard to pick a favorite. But the shots on Oa are spectacular. What Oa looks like has never been seen on film.”
And while there’s already a lot of speculation over who would play Green Lantern — Ryan Gosling? Matthew Settle? David Boreanaz? — what about Clark Kent, who will make a small cameo? Will the part go to someone already established on film or television to be the Man of Steel, like Brandon Routh or Tom Welling?
“There were rumors that Tom Welling would have a cameo in ‘Batman Begins’ as a young Clark Kent, to meet up with a young Bruce Wayne,” Guggenheim noted. “But you have to be careful when you do things like that, because it sounds great in concept, but when you sit down to watch it, it poses the danger of pulling you out of the film.”
But as a self-proclaimed “sucker for a good Easter egg,” Guggenheim said, “The fanboy in me would love that. Robert Downey, Jr. in ‘The Hulk’ was awesome. I love that stuff in general, and I think the fans would enjoy it. Brandon Routh or even Tom Welling [in 'Green Lantern'] would be awesome. And anything is possible. The beauty part of being the writer, though, is that I don’t actually have to make that judgment call.”
For more on the film, be sure to check out our chat with Guggenheim about the comics that inspired his “Green Lantern” screenplay here on Splash Page, too! Who do you think would be good for parts in “Green Lantern”?

Martin Campbell Has the Willpower for 'Green Lantern'
Warner Bros. has come up with a really good way of hopefully making a Green Lantern movie as action packed as Casino Royale: they're getting the director of Casino Royale to do it. Good idea, Bros. From Variety:
Warner Bros. is negotiating with Martin Campbell to direct "Green Lantern," the live-action film based on the DC Comics hero.
Campbell last directed "Casino Royale" and recently wrapped the Mel Gibson starrer "Edge of Darkness," based on the 1985 BBC miniseries that Campbell helmed.
The emergence of Campbell, who also helmed two "Zorro" films and the 007 film "GoldenEye," puts "Green Lantern" at the top of DC properties being set for movie treatment by WB.
Greg Berlanti wrote the script with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.
This definitely has the potential to be one of the best jewelry-and-lighting-based superhero movies to date.

Casino Royale action-packed? Did I see the same movie. Probably the lightest action-packed Bond ever!Similar threads
