The latest on The Green Lantern

All right, so a great number of us know that DC Comics and Warner Bros Pictures’ latest comic book adapted feature The Green Lantern has a couple of people on board already. Martin Campbell, director of Casino Royale, is already set to helm the film with Ryan Reynolds covering the role of Hal Jordan himself. What none of us really know is who else will be casted for the looming release date. SuperHeroHype has more on the ‘stellar’ team that Campbell is putting together for this movie.:

The first movie to be made under Warner Bros.’ new DC Entertainment umbrella will be shot by cinematographer Dion Beebe, who won an Oscar for his work with Rob Marshall on Memoirs of a Geisha (having previously been nominated for Chicago). Even more exciting than that is who Campbell hired to help create the look and vision of the movie, production designer Grant Major and costume designer Ngila Dickson, both of whom won Oscars for their work on Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Major also fulfilled the same capacity on Jackson’s remake of King Kong.

Art director François Audouy may not have won any Oscars, but his resume working in genre movies is impressive, everything from doing concept art for James Cameron’s Avatar and I Am Legend, acting as art director for Watchmen and the first Transformers movie, and working in various art capacities on all three “Spider-Man” movies.

DC Comics, or better known now as DC Entertainment, is looking to step up their game considerably and keep up on the success of possible greatness in comic book adaptations like their 2008 hit The Dark Knight. Once more casting news comes out, hopefully soon, for this feature, we’ll let you all know.
