In an earlier post I mentioned DC Comic’s restructuring and how they need to start building on their established franchises and start making new ones. Well, yesterday they announced that the final scripts for Green Lantern 2 and The Flash will be done by this winter so the films can go into production next year. The Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds is slated for a June 2011 opening. The movie has been tracking extremely well and director Martin Campbell (Goldeneye, Casino Royale) is finishing up the final edits.
The Flash is a very popular superhero among comic book fans. David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight) was originally slated to write, direct, and produce the film. He even penned a draft of the script. However, Greg Berlanti (No Ordinary Family) is now attached as the director/producer.
The movie has a lot of franchise potential, but choosing the right actor will be key. Some names that are currently being thrown around to play the superfast superhero are Neil Patrick Harris, Adam Brody, and Jerry O’Connell. Personally I think NPH would do a sensational job as Wally West.
Warner Bros will probably release GL2 and The Flash sometime in 2013.
