Warner Brothers has announced this week that they are scheduled to begin filming of the live-action Green Lantern movie this fall. Filming will start in mid-september and will be shot on location in Australia. The film's expected release date is December 17th, 2010.
Directing the picture will be Martin Campbell who has directed such other notable geek films as the James Bond movies Goldeneye and Casino Royale (my two favorite Bond movies ever) and the Mask of Zorro. Unfortunately, he also directed the crappy Zorro sequel The Legend of Zorro. I guess no one is perfect, right?
No casting choices have been announced yet, so we don't know who will be playing the titled hero. Also, no story notes have been released either, so we're not even sure which Lantern we'll be seeing, or who they'll be fighting. It would be stupid though for the WB to make a film about any other Lantern than the classic version of Hal Jordan. Then again, this is Hollywood and dumber things have definitely happened before. They could totally annoy fans everywhere and make a film about the original Green Lantern Alan Scott.
