Martin Cambell to Direct Green Lantern?

The Green Lantern movie has managed to pull itself out of mockery and obscurity of having Jack Black take on the power ring turning GL into a laughable zany comedy, to lining up with the rest of the DC properties in hopes of giving us a major blockbuster worthy of the iconic character.

Now it looks like Martin Campbell in talks to direct!

/Film says:

Campbell is probably best known as the director of James Bond films Casino Royale and GoldenEye, but his filmography also includes The Mask of Zorro/Legend of Zorro, Vertical Limit, and the upcoming Mel Gibson film Edge of Darkness. The screenplay was penned by Greg Berlanti (Everwood, Eli Stone), Marc Guggenheim (Law & Order, Eli Stone) and Michael Green (Smallville, Heroes).

Like breeding out genetic imperfections, taking a writing team that is two parts drama, and one part superhero sounds like a good mix to me.

And to get a director familiar with action that is over the top, but still grounded in reality just puts icing on the cake. All we need now are some solid casting rumours (I still quietly hope for David Boreanaz for hal and James Marsters as Sinestro!)

If this comes together I will be excited as hell to see it come about.
