To me, it doesn't matter if there's a script in place.
I do think having the right director is very important. I'm not sure who a perfect director would be for Green Lantern, but I do have a short list that I feel can pull it off.You just witnessed the strength of geek knowledge. N.W.A., Nerd With Attitude. Straight out of Vulcan!

Obviously having a great script and building your team around it is ideal, probably a near necessity for a standard one-off drama, but franchises are often announced and made vehicles for celebs before the script. A good movie can still be made from that. Some good writers even cater the script to the director and cast when they know them and can meld them better.

I thought Martin Campbell on GL was fool proof before that movie came out. How could the guy who made the greatest Bond movie of all time mess this up? Turns out he was the wrong guy for the job. In fact, there were a lot of people on the flick who were the wrong guy for the job, not any one person. I hope WB learns from their mistakes this time around.

Anyway, Martin Campbell had also done Legend of Zorro, so it's not like he was Martin Scorcese or something.

Hammer says the Wrap's report was the first he heard of him playing Hal...but he also liked Johns' GLC tweet.

Originally posted by Space Cop View PostIt's true. And that's a clue to his uneven qualities right there. Great reinterpretation of a classic hero and a lousy sequel (though, I still own it on DVD, of course ) both by the same team. CR really isn't my favorite Bond, though. I think it's great, but there are at least three classic Bonds that would rank higher on my list.
I have Mask and Legend too. Talk about going from the penthouse to the shithouse! That first movie was SO good, then the next one...not so much.

After CR and Skyfall, the first 4 Bond flicks are my favorites, Goldfinger, Dr No, FRWL, OHMSS, then Thunderball.

Roger Moore was my first Bond, so Moonraker is my favorite Bond film, which is why I love the Kingsmen so much.
As for the Green Lantern film being like Lethal Weapon, I feel like it's going to end up more Men In Black. I just don't think the script will be clever enough to give a Lethal Weapon vibe.
It will be interesting to see how the villain of the film will be. Will they go Sinestro in this film?
Personally, I would have preferred to have the Green Lantern film have a more Star Wars inspiration that could lead to something like the Jedi vs. Sith, the Sinestro Corps War. However, I suppose that could still happen if Sinestro is the baddie in the upcoming film and they arrest him and imprison him in Qward.You just witnessed the strength of geek knowledge.
