They hired a man named Greg Berlanti to write and direct the film. Name sound familiar? No, it doesn't. Don't lie to the Internet. Berlanti thus far has directed one movie: The Broken Hearts Club, a romantic comedy about a group of young, hip friends with relationship troubles whose tagline is "The shortest distance between friends isn't always a straight line." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Hearts_Club His previous writing credits include Dawson's Creek and Everwood, two teen dramas that we assume are notorious for their epic super-powered battle scenes. Based on these credentials, expect the new Green Lantern film to imagine up some slightly-larger-than-usual vanilla lattes and tickets to the Plain White T's concert in order to impress his high school sweetheart, Dakota, after which he will most likely imagine an awkward handjob in the back of a Toyota Celica. As long as Greg does better with the effects (and Green Lantern's outfit) then the JLA clip they showed: It might turn out to be as manly as Chuck Norris's thumb and as action pack as the credits to an Arnie flick. However, remember the Hulk: http://www.cracked.com/article_15665_7-least-faithful-comic-book-movies.html I'm sorry, but i tried to make the best of the Hulk movie after seeing it but even my lies turned green, ripping their shirt and beat me senseless. The thing with Hulk is it trys to be emotional like most of the director's movies however we are talking about a green giant that likes to smash shit. The movie needed someone who loves sex and violences like Michael Bay or even (dare i say) Uwe Boll. It wouldn't be a masterpiece, but still it would be awesome none the less because it would mirror the hulk, senseless and destructive. Now with director Greg Berlanti's resume, the GL movie does have potential effects wise (since he never work with effects before, he may experiment and we may see something fresh and new) but he may have a tendency to turn a comic book movie into an emotional quest of self discovery and meaning. I'm not saying the movie shouldn't have that premise however it really shouldn't be the focus of the movie either. And loading the movie up with effects is just a cop out IMO and many movies have turned me off of the silver screen because of it. I have concluded that most comicbook movie have (or always have) gone the road of the videogame movie: Doomed to be craptastic even before they reach the producer's desk, irregardless of who is making it. "Special Pooch 4 da win!!1!" BTW, how the heck do you change a link to text?

you want to make an emotional green lantern? make a movie based on emerald dawn/emerald twilight. I highly doubt it will happen though. moviegoers won't understand starting a movie with hal jordan wiping out the GL core, and comic fans will shit all over kyle rayner being the protagonist instead of hal jordan.

this looks almost doable, except for the fact taht tehy turned lantern into human torch:


this screams of terrible though:


nifty teaser:
