It'll be the Hal Jordan origin story and not the Jack Black comedy that was rumored! Good news!

CHUD spoke with Warner Bros producer Donald De Line and confirmed that plans are still proceeding for a Green Lantern movie and that it will be a serious take on the character. Other than writer Greg Berlanti, who is still working on the script, no other names are attached to the project.

The comics storyline tells of Hal Jordan, a test-pilot who is given a ring of pulsating green power from a dying alien. The ring enables Jordan to do practically anything his mind can conceive--until it needs to be recharged by a green lantern. Donning the ring, Jordan finds himself a member of the intergalactic Green Lantern corps. The Green Lanterns are charged with defending their sector of space from all manner of threats.
