Green Lantern lands 007 director

Now this is exciting…

Martin Campbell, director of 007 origin-tale “Casino Royale”, is in talks to retell the history of DC superhero Green Lantern.

According to Variety, Warner Bros had had hoped to have new “Batman” and “Superman” movies up before “Lantern”, but with Campbell signing to direct the latter, and both new instalments of “Batman” and “Superman” still in the early stages of development, it hasn’t turned out that way.

“Green Lantern”, written by Greg Berlanti (“Everwood”), Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green, is yet to target an actor but Ryan Gosling’s been oft-rumoured for the part.
