When you think about it, The Green Lantern is sort of like The Greatest American Hero. Seriously… a seemingly unassuming but good individual encounters an alien item that bestows god like power on them.
I’m very curious to see how this project turns out. The Green Lantern holds a load of potential to be both terribly cheesy, and insanely awesome at the same time.
Things now appeared to be locked as the studio has announced they’re going into pre-production in July and start the cameras rolling in November… all in Austrailia. Movieweb gives us this:
New South Wales premier Nathan Rees announced that filming would take place at Fox Studios in Sydney, with pre-production to start in July and principal photography to commence in November. “The production is expected to employ 500 people at any given time, including 100 performers, 200 crew and thousands of extras,” Rees said. “Securing this movie will ensure skilled film crews stay in NSW. Films such as this invest heavily in the local economy and (have) flow-on effects for local services such as transport, construction and the hotel industry.”
Put me down as being excited about this one.
