According to the good folks at Variety, Warner Bros. is talking with Martin Campbell to direct a Green Lantern movie.
Campbell last directed “Casino Royale” and recently wrapped the Mel Gibson starrer “Edge of Darkness,” based on the 1985 BBC miniseries that Campbell helmed.
The emergence of Campbell, who also helmed two “Zorro” films and the 007 film “GoldenEye,” puts “Green Lantern” at the top of DC properties being set for movie treatment by WB.
Directing Casino Royale alone is enough reason for me to love Martin Campbell. But Marty has his work cut out for him with a Green Lantern movie. Instead of dealing with a swashbuckling Spanish Robin Hood or a charismatic, badass British secret agent, he has the Green Lantern. Freaking Green Lantern.
For those of your who don’t know the Green Lantern is a superhero from DC comics with a ring of power and a weakness for yellow. Yes you read that correctly. His weakness is the color yellow. He can be stopped with a highlighter, most road signs, bananas, etc. Get the idea now? So really what the hell? How do you take that seriously? Freakin’ yellow!
Oh yeah I almost forgot. The Green Lantern is also a racist.
