Martin Campbell is Directing Green Lantern

[Octoberist]

is Legendary Pictures working on this?

 

[protocida]

Isn't it?

 

[mclay18]

Well, when the GL page on IMDB was IMDB-Pro only, it was indicated that Legendary was a co-producer then. Besides, having them co-finance and co-produce GL makes it easier on WB, since they won't have to invest as much money and P&A on an untested property. (WB reduced their losses on Watchmen considerably when Legendary and Paramount co-funded it too.)

And since the success of TDK, Warners would be foolish not to have Legendary on another potentially big DC comic-book pic. It's a fresh new idea, it has some pop culture awareness, and if done right, could be WB/DC's answer to IM.

Yea i think its a given any up and coming DC slate films will be co financed by legendary pictures.

 

[protocida]

I believe so also.

 

[Webhead2006]

Wb wants to spilt production values and all that right. So they dont have to shove so much money out. Right its all about money for them.

 

[protocida]

All the studios, actually.

Trailer looks good, but man is mel gibson old now lol

 

[Webhead2006]

yea it does look pretty interesting film. But mel is like what 50s/60s right so yea he is getting old. But its nice to see his career is back on track after all that crazyness of a few years back.

 

[Doctor Jones]

How long has it been since his last film? Was it Signs?

 

[Webhead2006]

hmmm i dont recall myself, after that whole crazy stuff that happened with him and other problems. So its nice to see things are good for him now. He is a decent actor.

 

[cerealkiller182]

as the lead, Signs was his last

but he had a decent enough sized role in The Singing Detective

 

[Webhead2006]

never heard of it.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Ok movie. Going back and forth between a writers real life and the life of his best character. Robert Downey Jr., Robin Wright Penn, MEl Gibson, Adrian Brody.

 

[Octoberist]

yeah, i've never seen it but i heard it was 'okay' at best.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Robert Downey Jr. is in it. That's enough for me.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Happy Birthday, Mr. Campbell.

 

[Octoberist]

is he really 69 years old? on wikipedia it states he was born in 1944 not 1940..

 

[Doctor Jones]

I didn't think he was that old. But happy birthday.

It's funny that him and Reynolds have birthdays very close to eachother. A sign perhaps?

 

[Webhead2006]

maybe they partied together along with friends/family.

 

[Changeling]

What kind of sign would that be if they have close birthdays.....?

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm one of those guys who believes in those sort of things.

 

[Changeling]

Hah alright I feel you
