The Green Lantern doesn't need official outlets like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, just Production Weekly and Twitter. Following Tweeted reports that production offices were being set up in Melbourne, Australia for a September shoot, Dark Horizons contacted producer Donald DeLine to find out whether or not they were true.
They are, and the film has a director: Martin Campbell. Says DeLine: "We are leaving for Australia Wednesday night with Martin Campbell, our director, to go scout in Sydney and Melbourne. We plan on starting to shoot mid-September in Australia."
DeLine confirms that not a single actor has been cast, and didn't confirm any rumor as to anyone screen testing. He merely repeated that this will be the origin story of Hal Jordan.
It's difficult to get too wound up without a lead actor in place, but hey ... now you've got a director who did a pretty nice job on a little film called Casino Royale. You're definitely getting a Green Lantern movie. It has a release date of December 17, 2010. Are you starting to get a little excited

The weekend may have belonged to Watchmen, but a few geek tidbits managed to make their way online for Monday. The best comes by way of ComingSoon.net, who caught up with The Green Lantern producer Donald De Line. He denied they were casting Hal Jordan as young as those Anton Yelchin rumors suggested. Jordan will be in his "late '20s, early '30s."
In the category of "eye candy" comes these two new photos of Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince of Persia, courtesy of The Huffington Post and residing now in the gallery. These aren't no paparazzi shots, these are the real candlelit deal:
SuperheroHype.com also has a new photo of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, and the official X-Men Origins: Wolverine site has been updated with new character bios and downloadables. The best part? When you go there, Wolverine says his catchphrase. My heart jumped in my chest a little. I won't deny it.
Meanwhile, Michael Bay was revealed to be a big fat liar. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen cowriter Robert Orci confirmed on TFW2005 that Megatron returns. Hugo Weaving double-confirmed it to Adelaide Now, and hinted how the character might return: "I think in the last one, doesn't Optimus Prime pick up a little bit of, a little shard of the cube, or the thing that's left, and he takes it with him. Maybe there's something there... but I don't know." Bay was then forced to confess on his official website: "Okay cat is out of the bag. Megatron is back -- but you will only get to see him from the long lost past. We go way back in time as this movie explains the mythology of the Primes. He is not a tank like everyone suggests, but an alien vehicle. But sadly he does not has much screen time." Should you believe him? That's up to you.

Finally, some good news for all those DC fans! Producer Donald DeLine talked to the boys of CHUD about the long languishing Green Lantern film. While nothing has kicked into high-gear yet, the future is bright for Hal Jordan.DeLine confirmed that Jack Black is no longer attached to the lead role, which should make all fans sigh with relief. And it is no longer being touted as a comedic movie. Isn't it nice when Hollywood wakes up and realizes they've wasted time on a really dumb idea?
They are currently awaiting the first draft of a script by Greg Berlanti, which DeLine was hopeful would be on his desk very soon. They are looking to make it a sensible origin story of Hal Jordan, with all the heroics and aliens the story requires. Okay, I'm guessing on the alien part, but I don't really see them changing that.
Nor has the death of Justice League Mortal affected this Green Lantern movie -- as seems to be the case with all the Justice League characters, since they were operating on completely different wavelengths.
