Of all the coming flood of comic book heroes who are going to hit the screen, the Green Lantern is the one we're not hearing much about. There were tons of rumors about the character's role in the now-doomed Justice League of America movie, but now that that one's cancelld indefinitely, it's just the solo project directed by Greg Berlanti, and that one's staying pretty well under the radar.
But that doesn't mean t here's nothing happening. Comics2Film.com picked up on some concept art that illustrator Brian Murray created for Berlanti, some of which were used to get Berlanti the directing gig to begin with. Though casting rumors for the JLA version of the Green Lantern indicated that the character would be reimagined as African-American, these illustrations show a square-jawed white man-- pretty much your typical image of a superhero.
The images are fairly gorgeous, and show a lot of imagination that would be a worthwhile challenge to translate to film. There's no telling if Berlanti's the guy to do it-- he's only made one feature before-- but when this project truly gets of the ground, they'll be starting from a strong place.
Check out two of the images below, and go to Comics2Film to see the whole gorgeous gallery.
