Yes, because a movie about a guy with a magic ring that creates force-fields and allows him to fly through space and hang with aliens is precisely the movie that demands gritty realism.

Heat Vision reports that the writing trio of Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, who penned the script for the first film have been tasked to write a treatment for Green Lantern 2. Apparently the studio likes what they're seeing on the current film, directed by Martin Campbell and starring Ryan Reynolds.

The trio have also been tapped to write a treatment for The Flash. That bit of news is somewhat surprising as the studio had invested some capital in a script from DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and screenwriter Dan Mazeau, and the rumor from late May was that the studio was going to be moving fast on a speedster pic. The fact that Berlanti, Green and Guggenheim are going back to the treatment stage suggests the Johns/Mazeau work will largely be discarded.

Past rumors have also indicated that Berlanti is being considered for the job directing the Flash.

Angela Bassett? They couldn't have hired a fat chick to actually LOOK like Waller? What about CCH Pounder, who did her voice in the JL cartoon?

I see a Jonah Hex II coming with this. It's going to suck donkey balls. Is he going to be urban and gritty so that they can try and mimic DK?

If I were to characterize the WB's handling of the DCU in movies, I'd compare it to Thanos in Infinity Gauntlet. If Thanos were a mentally-retarded seven-year-old with a fetish for fingering his own asshole with a metal rake, that is...

I don't think they're trying to rip off DK. They're trying to rip off Iron Man... hence the sassy black person as a government liason who will probably show up in other shared universe movies.

I still think it could be cool, though!

Yes, they should have gotten Pounder but this is hardly the sort of thing (casting someone in a supporting role that doesn't look exactly like their comic book counterpart) that's going to ruin a franchise. For example, Michael Caine looks nothing like the comic book Alfred but no one seems to care.

  • (Director Martin Campbell:)In most superhero movies, they never are hurt. What you see in those movies is someone getting blasted a hundred yards into a brick wall and then they turn and shake their head and just go right back into the action. None of them ever seem to suffer because of it. That’s something where, I hope with The Green Lantern we’ll be able to make it slightly more real than it’s possibly been in some of the other superhero movies.

I'm also sure there are a lot of old school Iron Man fans asking why a black guy is playing Nick Fury as well.
Doubt it stopped anyone enjoying the films.

There has been instances of main characters not looking anything like their comic book counterparts, just as there have been supporting characters or villains that look nothing like them, but its rarely down to that if a film fails or not.

Was the Catwoman film a failure cause they cast a black woman in the role?
Was Daredevil less than successful because the Kingpin was black?
Did Batman 1989 lose any viewers because Harvey Dent was Lando Calrission?
Was X-Men weakened at all because they didnt pick a younger woman to play Jean Grey?

You misunderstood my jump in thought. I wasn't saying this movie was going to suck donkey balls because they didn't cast Amanda Waller with someone who looks like her. I was merely mentioning it, along with the horrible casting and the WB's corporate ignorance, as a symptom of what could possibly be another Jonah Hex (i.e. a flop). Now, realistically do I think it's going to super-bomb? No. It's the first time GL's been given living breath. There are fans that love GL because they think Geoff Johns is a good writer. So, right there the sheep are already accounted for. It will make a decent profit. And I agree with whoever said they are wanting to match Iron Man. However, the difference is...if this movie is anything like I predict...Iron Man took care in finding the balance between respecting the source material, and creating its own identity.

I think this may be something that will look better on screen in motion. Realistically every superhero looks a bit silly in "real life."

 Quote:
From the bars of New Orleans, where Green Lantern is currently being filmed, comes this little gossipy nugget from certain bragging production staff. Do bear in mind that they may have been using their connection to the film to hit on people…

Nevertheless, the word is that shooting on Green Lantern 2 is scheduled to begin before the first movie is even released.

So confident of a smash are Warner Bros, that they already making big plans to use current shooting location New Orleans as a stand-in for DC’s Coast City in the sequel, which will be announced for either a Summer or Christmas 2012 release, depending on where the Flash movie fits in.

And if the first film does the megabucks they are expecting, then Warners will greenlight a third Green Lantern movie to be shot back to back with the second, for release in 2013.

Such a schedule may also put a damper onplans for a Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool movie. Or maybe just push them back a year?
