Warner Bros Sets David Goyer, Justin Rhodes For ‘Green Lantern Corps’

EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros and DC are moving aggressively on a new screen version of Green Lantern. They’ve set David Goyer to write the script with Justin Rhodes for Green Lantern Corps, with Goyer producing and with DC heads Geoff Johns and Jon Berg exec producing. The new version is described as Lethal Weapon in space, and it’s based on a comic book origin story. The focus will be on two characters: Hal Jordan and John Stewart. The latter is an African American Marine sniper before he joined the Lantern Corps and the story very much focuses on his relationship with Jordan and the Corps. The story was conceived by Goyer and Johns.

It’s unclear whether the studio would reengage with Ryan Reynolds, who starred in the disappointing first film and is soaring with Deadpool and working on its sequel. They will get a script and move quickly to get a director, so this project now has a beating heart.

Beyond his pedigree as scripter of superhero series that includes the Dark Knight series and most recently Batman V Superman, Goyer recently signed on to script a virtual reality project based on Star Wars. He is repped by WME.

Rhodes, whose script work includes the upcoming Guillermo del Toro-directed Fantastic Voyage remake (on which Goyer is exec producer), is repped by WME and Madhouse.

Goyer again? Flippin heck...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt The Flash still minus a director? You'd think they'd be putting in order then productions already in line rather than adding to the list of pie in the sky bullsh*t

Ah great, David "He can’t be $%#ing called the Martian Manhunter because that’s goofy" Goyer writing a movie about Green Lanterns, with the first thing they're comparing to being Lethal Weapon.

*sigh* Oh Warner Bros....

the baby bull elephant

The Goyer news isn't the best thing ever but if one man does know Green Lantern it's Johns. I imagine he will push for a big involvement and hopefully he get it. I really hope it can be successful enough that we get to see Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz on screen at some stage.

Goyer? Will they ever learn?
