Green Lantern Gets The Green Light Superhero flick to shoot next spring Source: First Showing
In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape his sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware his power... Green Lantern's got the green light!
For comic book fans who were beginning to worry that DC was flagging behind Marvel in the movie adaptation stakes, news reaches us from First Showing that the long mooted Green Lantern flick is finally scheduled to start shooting in Spring 2009.
Producer Donald De Line, has revealed that a new draft of The Green Lantern has been turned in, and while nothing is “confirmed” they’re “gearing up to start shooting early spring.”
Now that's quite an acceleration in production, particularly with no stars or director yet attached, but DC is riding high from the success of The Dark Knight and can surely pull out any number of big guns to make this revelation a reality.
For those of you not versed in the DC 'verse, the Green Lantern corps are a universe-protecting force granted power rings which gives them greater control over the physical world (as long as their will power remains strong). The comic book canon has seen a number of Green Lanterns come and go and come back again so which character will make it to the big screen is anyone's guess.
We'll obviously give you all the latest info as we get it but in the meantime, which Green Lantern incarnation would you like to see hitting the big screen and who should play them?
Hal Jordan is the definitive Green Lantern and Jake Gyllenhal would be the perfect choice for the flyboy turned intergallactic policeman. Jeremy Irons or John Malchovitch would make a truly sinester Sinestro. Prison Break's Stacey Keach could provide the vocals for a CGI Killowog.
The Green Lantern mythos is epic and was probably an influence on a certain George Lucas( Jedi Knights - Green Lanterns, Abin Sur even sounds like a Jedi name, fear leading to darkness etc...). Handled corre... Read More

Hal Jordan is the obvious choice. If this film does well then his story arc is probably the best, with the whole parallax thing. As long as it's not Guy Gardner or John Stewart. I personally like Kyle Rayner the best but cinematically it's gotta be Hal. I don't think they should tackle the corps until a sequel tho, but the Guardians have to be mentioned. I really hope that this film turns out great, I love GL

In the animated film justice league new frontier, David boreanaz did the voice of hal jordan and he did a real good job, and he aint a bad actor either. Personally I think he would fit the bill perfectly.
For those of you that are saying this is dc's b list characters your wrong, some of these characters like the green lantern , flash and green arrow are way more interesing than superman or wonder women. How wonder women is classed in the top 3 of dc heroes I dont know. For me... Read More

Space Opera and Superheroics while staying true to its comic book origins?
Sounds like it could do well if it has a good director with some experience of how to do special effects.
