Green Lantern Corps
 
Quote:

The movie previously announced as Green Lantern will instead be Green Lantern Corps, Warner Bros announced at their San Diego Comic-Con 2015 panel Saturday. The film will presumably keep its June 19, 2020 release date, meaning it's still a bit off (and the current final film of WB/DCE's announced schedule).

Along with the film's name change, an image was shown featuring a large group of Green Lanterns, including multiple Earth-bound GLs, something rumors have been pointing to for the last few weeks.

No casting or crew information was released about the film.

Rumors are Chris Pine and Tyrese for the two earth Lanterns.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 07-11-2015 03:55 PM

While I really couldn't care less about Green Lantern, I'm VERY pleased to see that DC and Warner Bros understand EXACTLY how to make up for that terrible atrocity from 2011.

Apparently, one film studio is actually smart enough to learn from its mistakes!!!

Leo656 07-11-2015 06:59 PM

I actually liked the first one but I know what's wrong with it. That said, this sounds like a great way to reboot the thing and make it fit with new DCU.

Guy Gardner or We Riot.

NinjaPug 07-11-2015 07:19 PM

Tyrese as John Stewart? No thanks.

TigerClaw 07-11-2015 07:21 PM

I would like to see Ch'p show up in this movie too, Marvel has Rocket Raccoon. Ch'p kind of looks like a squirrel or chipmunk, and he's one of the members of the Green Lantern Corps.

Might as well riot for Kyle too if they're gonna go ahead and call it Green Lantern Corps.

I would rather they cast Pine for Steve Trevor.

CyberCubed 07-11-2015 08:52 PM

2020 release date? Why on earth would they announce something now so far away? All the actors will be 5 years older by then, how do they even know they'll still be capable of the roles 5 years from now?

Might not happen now. "There's a whole recalibration going on now."

Vegita-San 01-09-2018 06:51 PM

good. i don't need to see depressed batman style green lantern killing criminals.

Autbot_Benz 01-09-2018 07:16 PM

Shame I have always wanted to see a live action Jon Stewart.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 01-09-2018 07:16 PM

I really hope this gets made. It NEEDS to happen.

And I'm not even a Green Lantern fan.

MikeandRaph87 01-09-2018 07:19 PM

I have said before Aquaman and Green Corps are the two projects thst interest me. Sure, the convoluted origin of Green Lantern did not digest well and eas rushed (Parallax presence prime example of both) and Hector Hammond is uninteresting. Yet I am a fan of Hal Jordan and like to see what can be done. The Death Wish in space concept had me sold. Hal deserves a second shot and I welcome John Stewart onboard for the next ride.

Spike Spiegel 01-10-2018 07:40 AM

It could be buddy-cop stories in space with all kinds of alien creatures, ships, etc. Maybe some Guardians of the Galaxy style humor every once in a while.

I don't understand why the studio hasn't run the concept into the ground already.

Andrew NDB 01-10-2018 11:10 AM

What I don't get is, why did WB block GLs from being used in Arrow and Flash... only to be too chickenshit to do anything with GLs (yes, I'm aware of the do-nothing cameo in it) in their Justice League movie? Why on earth would I care about a JL movie with no GL in it?

For sure. What even scared them off in the first place? What happened to "Unite the Seven?"

Autbot_Benz 01-10-2018 12:47 PM

Either Make a GL Movie or let CW or DC Streaming do a Green Lantern show

MikeandRaph87 01-10-2018 01:00 PM

The Green Lantern(2011) film was not that bad and how could it be the fuel to avoid Green Lantern? It is not Batman & Robin level more like Daredevil(2003) level. Let the filmmaker make his/her movie and don't cram too much in or it will all feel wasted. I am still hopeful for a Hal Jordan/John Stewart buddy cop in space film. No convoluted origin, watch the budget and it will be fine. I still don't see why the performance of any movie would bar a character from a group that always includes him if not one of his number. That makes even less sense.

They got chickenshit as soon as they made those posters. "The world isn't ready for more Green Lantern yet!" Please.

I thought it had more to do with them eliminating part 2 of Snyder's JL plan. I remember reading rumors that the end in the original script was going to have GL come to Earth after the JL defeated Steppenwolf to let them know Darkseid was coming.

You think GL was in Snyder's "Justice League: Part 1"? It's possible... though you think we'd have seen something of it behind the scenes by now. Or hear about the guy(s) who played GL and had his scene(s) cut.

There was that flashback scene where we saw a Green Lantern.

I already mentioned that. Doesn't count.

Only in a small scene at the very end to tease Part 2 and Darkseid. Not sure if that rumor was true or not.

If they scrapped Part II before he even began filming JL then there wouldn't be any role for GL in his original cut.

Autbot_Benz 01-10-2018 07:42 PM

Looks like the Lanterns could show up in the Krypton show

Warner Bros is eyeing Christopher McQuarrie to direct the Green Lantern Corps movie. And here's the synopsis for it.

That's exactly what I predicted would happen.

MikeandRaph87 03-05-2018 06:17 PM

Usual Suspects? Cool. Mission Impossible films too. Is it still Death Wish in space?

So long as Hal Jordan gets a fair chance. Sure Reynolds did what he could with what he is given so I mean creatively.

Andrew NDB 06-05-2018 02:51 PM

Looks like new GLs Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz, an Earth woman and Muslim male, respectively, may be the main characters of the "Green Lantern Corps" movie -- not Hal and not John, or even Kyle or Guy. Mostly the moving will be "Finding Hal," with Simon and Jessica scouring the universe to locate him, who has been missing since the events of Justice League.

https://www.comicbookmovie.com/green...d-more-a161083

IF it's true. And it probably is. The creator of them gets a huge paycheck when they are used in a movie... the chief creative officer decides which characters get used in a movie...

It's the same guy. It's...

http://www.thegreenlanterncorps.com/godfather.jpg

What a real piece of sh**.

Vegita-San 06-05-2018 03:03 PM

sounds like crap.

and it's a shame. The Green Lantern universe could be a way to have lots of diverse characters (true, mostly alien in nature, but still diverse!).

They could have done the same movie with john stewart and guy gardner. make it a good guy, bad guy buddy cop movie.

Autbot_Benz 06-05-2018 04:57 PM

Hope this isn't true. You also have to make this movie accessible for the general movie public IE Kletus and Jane besides Hardcore DC Fans. General People know Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart. Most people have no idea who Simon Baz or Jessica Cruz is.

And most fans who do know who they are actively dislike them.

Autbot_Benz 06-05-2018 06:01 PM

I grew up with Jon Stewart as my green lantern from the Cartoons so I wanna see him on the big screen instead of those 2 newbies.

So what, is Muslim a new, non-Earth planet now?

I feel like most general audiences don't even know Jon Stewart that well. I mean he was in the cartoons years ago, but I feel like the Lantern Corps as a whole are mostly only remembered by Deadpool making jokes about the 2011 movie.

Outside of established DC fans, more people than you think have no idea who any of these characters are, so I don't really think it matters which members they choose to lead. Or maybe that's just the people I talk to. Might be different in your circles.

Allio 06-06-2018 05:33 PM

well if Power Rangers has taught us anything that aliens do infact have cultures that are very close to that of Earth...mostly Japan

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 06-11-2018 11:47 AM

Welp, Andrew ain't gonna like this...

https://batman-news.com/2018/06/11/g...lantern-corps/

Geoff Johns is launching his own production company, leaving his current position at Warner Brothers, and will write and produce Green Lantern Corps.

I dunno... sounds like the beginning of the end of him to me. And his exit as WB CCO, just days after the WB president stepped down? Hm...

Maybe, but it also seems to lend more credence to the rumor that the movie will be focused on Jessica and Simon, rather than any of the originals.

Seems like a mistake to me. But what do I know, I'm not a GL fan...

It seemed like Hal Jordan would be invovled if Geoff is involved. Hal is Geoff's favorite character to write.

I will not see a Green Lantern movie if Hal is not involved especially these two jonny-come-lately's from Green Lanterns title.

Well, the rumor says Hal IS involved... that is who Simon and Jessica are searching for. Presumably they find him at some point.
