Goldenberg lights 'Lantern 2'
Warner signs scribe to pen comic hero sequel



Warner Bros. is moving ahead on a second "Green Lantern," hiring Michael Goldenberg ("Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix") to write the screenplay for the sequel. With the first pic's June 17 release date just under a year away, the move to hire a writer for number two shows a serious commitment to the franchise.
Move comes a few months after the studio tapped the three "Green Lantern" screenwriters -- Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim -- to write a treatment for "Green Lantern 2."

Goldenberg performed a rewrite on the script for "Green Lantern," which just wrapped shooting in Louisiana with Donald De Line producing and Martin Campbell directing. Ryan Reynolds stars as DC Comics superhero who's part of the Green Lantern Corps.

"Green Lantern 2" is one of the first DC Comics properties -- which include Batman, Superman and the Flash -- to move forward at Warner since the studio took control of DC Comics a year ago and rebranded it DC Entertainment, tapping Warner Bros. vet Diane Nelson as president. It brought in a new management team in February.

Warner Bros. announced in late April that "Batman 3" would open on July 20, 2012. David Goyer is working with Christopher Nolan's brother, Jonathan Nolan, on a script for the next Batman installment, based on an idea from Christopher Nolan.

Goldenberg previously adapted "Where the Wild Things Are" and also wrote "Peter Pan" and "Contact."

First Look at Green Lantern’s Kilowog



You can’t have a “Green Lantern” movie without Kilowog. And as it turns out, you won’t. Check out your first look at (an all-CG?) Kilowog, Hal Jordan’s intergalactic GL drill instructor from the upcoming Martin Campbell movie. The film has since wrapped production and will now begin the long process of post-production, which should be a bear given that probably half (if not more) of the film is computer generated ala “Star Wars” and its ilk.

Whoa! Major Green Lantern Villain/Plot Details! SPOILERS

Need I say it? Do not — I repeat: DO NOT — read on unless you absolutely, positively want to know the how’s and why’s of some pretty major plot points from Warner Bros.’ upcoming “Green Lantern”. In fact, I kinda wished I hadn’t read it, but I did, so there you go.

As you probably know by now, “Green Lantern” will have two villains — the human kind, and one of the alien variety. As it turns out — well, I’m not going to spoil it up here. You’ll have to head on down to find that out.

Via CBM, who has had their fingers in the “Green Lantern” pie since the very beginning. Props, comic book geeks.

Greg Berlanti Talks Green Lantern 2, Compares The Flash to The Dark Knight



Once upon a time, Greg Berlanti was supposed to direct the “Green Lantern” movie. He eventually lost the gig to Martin Campbell, but has remained on the franchise, as well as adding Warner Bros.’ “The Flash” to his plate.

While doing press for the comedy “Life as We Know It”, Berlanti spilled on his appraoches to the “Green Lantern” sequel (Warner Bros. is very, very optimistic about the first movie), and the upcoming “Flash” film to the boys at SuperheroHype. As of right now, Berlanti is working on the treatment for the second “Green Lantern” film with writers Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, while at the same time pounding out the script for Barry Allen’s The Flash.

About the tone of the two movies:



Interesting take on Barry Allen’s cop career, though I’m not sure how much of that is just a writer thinking way too much about stuff that will never make it into the movies. I don’t really see how you can make a movie about a dude in a bright red costume who runs super fast and still make it anything remotely like “Seven” or “Silence of the Lambs”.

He goes on:



Great. D.C. practically destroyed themselves with that whole alternate universe stuff, and Berlanti thinks it would be neat to introduce that concept into the movies. Now I’m really convinced Berlanti is just throwing out “writer stuff” here, things that will never make it into the finished scripts.

He goes on to talk about possibility directing “The Flash”, but sounds non-committal. Which probably just means he’s hoping for the gig, but after losing out on “The Green Lantern”, he’s just hedging his bets. Who would turn down a chance to direct “The Flash”?

I think TRON LEGACY should've won that award instead.
