Martin Campbell Gives Green Lantern Update
By
Director Martin Campbell recently talked to ComingSoon.net about his upcoming Green Lantern movie. Here’s an excerpt…
You may or may not know but there are five human Green Lanterns over the period of some 60 years, since 1940, which is when they first wrote it, and ours is Hal Jordan, who happens to be the most popular Green Lantern. He’s the fighter pilot from Ferris Aviation so that origin story is fairly clearly in the comics, and it’s fairly well known so we’re sticking in principle fairly closely to that.
He was then asked if the Green Lantern movie would tie into a future Justice League movie in much the same way that Iron Man and Incredible Hulk did in 2008.
No, I think it will stick closely to the origin story, but of course, we all know that Sinestro for example is a character who goes over to the Dark Side, and of course, we have Carol. She’ll be played by Blake Lively. I think people will be able to see forward in the characters, that in the comic went on to become… in Sinestro’s case, he goes over to the Dark Side and indeed Carol in later versions becomes a bad guy as well. (laughs) But people will be ahead of us on all that I think.
