WB Moves Green Lantern out 6 months - Blu-ray Forum

GreenScar · 05-07-2009, 04:23 AM

With no lead officially cast in Martin (Casino Royale) Campbell's take on the DC Comics superhero Green Lantern, Warner Bros. has decided to push the Emerald Knight's big screen debut back six months to June 17, 2011 from its original scheduled date of December 17, 2010. No word whether this will affect the plans to start shooting in Australia in September or whether the move is to give Campbell more time for post-production and special FX.

Or maybe they have found an actor but he may not be available because of commitment to another movie. I guess we will see. I personally thought December was a great time for it. Oh well...we shall see.

Well also moving the movie out 6 months probably also defers the costs out that much as well. They probably won't have to start shooting the movie until early next year.

This will probably be pushed to 2012 (that's the current rumor/rumbling)

WyldeMan45 · 05-10-2009, 10:56 PM

Please let this work out!! He is a WAY better choice than the horrible Bradley Cooper!

[quote]With Bradley Cooper now rumoured to be the leading contender to don the emerald undies, one would assume previous oft-rumoured “Green Lantern” contender Sam Worthington would no longer be under consideration (if he ever was). But the “Terminator Salvation” star tells Moviehole that he has had contact from Warner Bros about leading their superhero pic, set to lens soon in Australia, and there’s a possibility he may don the tights.

‘’I’ve been talking to (director) Martin Campbell about it’’, Worthington says. ‘’It’s one of those things where they’re still doing the script. I said, “Give me a script. Let me have a look at it.” I like Martin a lot. I met him on the Bond stuff, and I like his work, but the second step is, “Is it a movie that I’d go and see?” ‘’

The ‘Bond Stuff’ Worthington is referring to is, of course, “Casino Royale”. Worthington was short-listed for the role of James Bond, before Daniel Craig.
