Production Weekly's current issue has The Green Lantern slated as being in the development stage:
STATUS - Development
PRODUCER: Donald De Line - Andrew Haas WRITER: Greg Berlanti - Marc Guggenheim - Michael J Green
DC COMICS 1700 Broadway New York, NY 10019
WARNER BROS. PICTURES 4000 Warner Blvd. Burbank, CA 91522-0001
Each sector of space is protected by a Green Lantern, possessing a power ring that uses a powerful green energy to do anything within the limits of the user's imagination and will power. When the Green Lantern assigned to this sector of space finds himself dying on planet Earth, he tells the ring to find a suitable successor. The chosen replacement, hot-shot test pilot Hal Jordan, finds himself with a new job he never expected.
Doesn't look like they have a director attached but I thought last year Variety had said that Greg Berlanti would be the director of the project.
Don't know if anything has changed director wise, but it's good news for Green Lantern fans that there seems to be some current movement on this comic book favorite. After the Warner/DC meeting regarding their super hero properties a couple of weeks ago, the signs look positive for DC comic book fans hoping for another hero to hit the big screen besides Batman and Superman.
The description states that this Green Lantern will be the Silver Age's Hal Jordan and not Guy Gardner or Kyle Rayner. If this is old news then my apologies, but it's the first I've heard of actual production movement on the green guy. Thoughts?

YES! This is amazing! DC needs this and WB would be stupid to not capitalize on these characters. Marvel is making them look terrible, luckily they had Dark Knight as a pocket ace.

About time,
Allways thought Green Lantern done right would be a smash both box office and with the audience.
Now get a director that is passionate somebody that knows his stuff and give him the job, Somebody that will treat this as his baby and not mess around i think somebody like Sam Mendes loved Road to Perdition.

Nice to see DC stepping up their game. Love the Green Latern but I dont like Greg Berlanti. He produces and writes some shitty TV shows. So hopefully they can get someone in Nolans caliber. But, if not theres hope it will be atleast Marvel quality atleast their recent outings.

I certainly vote for a black actor to play the green lantern as the character can be ANYBODY honestly and DC hasn't really had a black actor play a character in a film yet.
