>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 African American. 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.

The real question here (assuming this thing actually happens, which is never a given) is what's getting shitcanned to make room for it.

I'm going to go ahead and say Batman solo isn't happening, and they're just going to use Affleck for group shots until his contract is up.
>>
> origin story

WHY.
>>
>>89086292
>Hal and John
Would have preferred Kyle or Simon to John.
Make it more Veteran and Rookie.

Watch they scrap Shazam. JLD is already dead

>>89086382
>what's getting shitcanned to make room for it
Nothing. Why would something else be canceled? The movie is scheduled for 2020 along with Cyborg, there's no need to cancel anything else.
>>
>>89086332
Yeah it sells.

>>89086366
>>89086373
Because he's got a lot of experience with superhero movies and has been doing this a long, long time now. Sure he's made some shitty ones, but they often still made money.

Would you rather have Goyer and Bay?
>>
>>89086332

I assume so people go "oh, so the black lantern from the tv show?"
>>
>>89086414
>Watch they scrap Shazam
The producer for Shazam, The Rock and Johns had a meeting about Shazam yesterday (I believe) and they all seemed excited afterwards, there's no way it gets scraped.

Nothing is getting shitcanned, where the hell has that come from?
>>
>>89086466
It kinda depends on the movie, it can be just a name or it can be someone fairly involved in the development.
Given Johns is now more involved with the movies, including contributing to scripts, he might have a say in the development.
>>
>>89086466
Make sure the thing sells.
>>
What are the chances Mark Strong will return as Sinestro? Considering he was the one good thing about the first film.

Pretty much zero, given it's a complete reboot.

It's a shame, I loved the casting of all the lanterns, especially him.

Obviously Cyborg

What are the chances of J K Simmons reprising his role as JJJ in the MCU?
>>
>>89086561

Yeah, but those are two different companies.

>>89086555

It's just that I find it a shame that his one DC role was wasted in a bad film. He was a great Sinestro, but his chances of being anything else are 0. (he would have been an amazing Luthor, even with the weird angle BvS gave the character, for example).
>>
>>89086423
Goyer's definitely not the weak link in his films. He's pretty Laisse-faire in collaboration. Listen to the Blade commentary.

It's only a matter of time before a DC movie ends up in the single digits.

Its going to be a mess because they need to tell an origin story but they also want to hit that diversity quota with John and neither characters origins mesh well together.
Asking Goyer to do the impossible is just making this all the more of a mess

Fuck David Goyer. This movie is already going to suck.

I'm so fucking tired of the same bland Marvel movies twice a year, and even more tired of awful DC movies.
Life as a DC fan is suffering.

What angers me the most about the DCEU is that it somehow found a way to become the Batwank universe this time too.

All the public cares about anymore is the Batman solo movie and Harley Quinn. I have no hope that WW will change that.

Can anyone explain what's with the hate for Goyer ?

What did he do ? Did he cancel the animated series or was he involved in the last horrible liveaction movie ?
>>
>>89090192
>What did he do
He was involved in the creation of Blade Trinity, Ghost Rider, The Unborn, Man of Steel, and Batman v Superman, all of which are complete shit.

All I know is that he's some green alien whose clothes are apparently a part of him.

He pissed off a bunch of Martian Manhunter and She-Hulk fans and generally seems to have a disdain for super heroes, which is odd considering how many super hero movies he has had a hand in writing.

It's a reference to something Goyer said at a panel. He asked the audience to raise their hands if they know who Martian Manhunter is, and then of those who had their hands raise how many were virgins.

Plenty of D-List characters were on the JLA.

Nothing. The movie was already tentatively slated for 2020. This is just confirmation that they're moving forward with a writing team and a story idea.
>>
>>89090576

He would still be under contract depending on the agreement. However I very much doubt he signed a one film deal so as long as no clauses were broken he would be obligated to return
