Martin Campbell Has the Willpower for 'Green Lantern'


From iwatchstuff, Warner Bros. has come up with a really good way of hopefully making a Green Lantern movie as action packed as Casino Royale: they're getting the director of Casino Royale to do it. Good idea, Bros. From Variety:

Warner Bros. is negotiating with Martin Campbell to direct "Green Lantern," the live-action film based on the DC Comics hero.

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.

Greg Berlanti wrote the script with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.


This definitely has the potential to be one of the best jewelry-and-lighting-based superhero movies to date.
