Warner Bros Acquires Goyer & Rhodes For 'Green Lantern Corps'

Warner Bros and DC have come to an agreement and are moving forward at a very fast pace for a new screen version of Green Lantern. They have acquired David Goyer to write the script with Justin Rhodes for Green Lantern Corps, with Goyer producing and with DC heads Geoff Johns and Jon Berg executive producing. The story was conceived by Goyer and Johns and as soon as the studio gets a script, they are moving quickly to get a director.

The new version is based on a comic book origin story and will focus on two characters: Hal Jordan and John Stewart. The latter is an African American Marine sniper before he joined the Lantern Corps and the story very much focuses on his relationship with Jordan and the Corps.

No details if the studio will work again with Ryan Reynolds, as he starred in the first disappointing Green Lantern film.
