The Flash And Green Lantern Corps Are Reportedly Still Priorities At DC

Even if you exclude the movies that are already scheduled for release, Warner Bros has nearly two dozen cinematic DC Comics tales in some form of development. Obviously not all of those will end up being made, but sometimes it’s hard to get a read on what’s being prioritized for the superhero film franchise. Well, according to a new report, The Flash and Green Lantern Corps still finds themselves in the priority category.

Both The Flash and Green Lantern Corps were part of the initial DC Extended Universe film slate that was announced in late 2014, but the DC Films landscape has changed a lot in the last five years, and both movies were ultimately removed from their respective calendar slots. While new release dates haven’t been assigned to either just yet, according to Variety, Warner Bros is still keen on delivering The Flash and Green Lantern Corps to the masses.

After cameoing in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, Flash, a.k.a. Barry Allen, finally made his full DCEU in Justice League. With Ben Affleck retiring from the Batman life, and no clear future for Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ray Fisher’s Cyborg, Ezra Miller’s Flash is the last Justice Leaguer who could join Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa’s Aquaman in having a life beyond the 2017 team-up.

However, just because The Flash is a prioritized DC movie doesn’t mean it takes precedence over the other huge Warner Bros franchise Ezra Miller is part of. The actor won’t tackle The Flash until he’s done with Fantastic Beasts 3, which means that the earliest the Fastest Man Alive’s movie could start shooting is in 2021. Nevertheless, WB and DC are keen on keeping this incarnation of the hero going rather than reboot him.

As for Green Lantern Corps, it was revealed in summer 2018 that Geoff Johns, who wrote a game-changing Green Lantern comic book run that lasted nearly a decade, was tasked with rewriting that project’s script, with David Goyer and Justin Rhodes previously handling writing duties. Variety’s report states that Johns will deliver his Green Lantern Corps script by the end of the year.

Arguably the bigger piece of news is that Green Lantern Corps will be presented to J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot production company (which have a first-look deal with Warner Bros) to see if they’re interested in producing the project. Abrams and Bad Robot are also allegedly mulling over tackling a new Superman movie, so it’ll be interesting to see if the filmmaker and his crew pick either option.

Although a few members of the Green Lantern Corps cameoed in Justice League’s flashback battle, the hero’s cinematic reputation is still tainted by the critically maligned Green Lantern movie that starred Ryan Reynolds. It’s been nearly a decade since that movie was released, so the Emerald Knight is certainly due for some big screen redemption, and the plan is for Green Lantern Corps to star both Hal Jordan and John Stewart.

That said, there’s also a live-action Green Lantern TV series in the works for HBO Max, which Geoff Johns and Greg Berlanti are working on together. So with that and The CW’s The Flash, which is currently airing its sixth season, both heroes are/will be getting the small screen stage to themselves, but Warner Bros also reportedly wants them being spotlighted on the silver screen.

Karate Kid Actor Rob Garrison Has Died At 59

Imahe
8 hours ago Of the many classic ‘80s movies that have transcended their time, 1984’s The Karate Kid certainly stands out. It’s iconic, immensely quotable and lives on over 30 years later after its release with YouTube’s highly-successful Cobra Kai series. It’s a sad day for Karate Kid fans because Robert Garrison, the actor from the Cobra Kai karate crew known as Tommy has passed away at 59. Robert Garrison died Friday morning in a hospital in West Virginia after suffering kidney and liver problems there for over a month. His death was a result of his organs shutting down, Garrison’s sister-in-law Linda told TMZ. Funeral arrangements are currently in the works by his family. Garrison began his Hollywood career as a child actor in the late ‘70s, appearing in films such as Lost and Found and Prom Night, starring scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, before landing his most famous role of Tommy in The Karate Kid at 24. His Cobra Kai character utters the famous line “Get him...

Doctor Sleep: How Different Was The Movie From Stephen King's Book?

Imahe
6 hours ago You might not realize this on the surface, but the new Ewan McGregor film Doctor Sleep is a sequel to Stephen King’s classic novel, The Shining . In addition, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan has made sure that his film connects to – and builds off of – Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film of the same name. When it comes to film adaptations and the works of Stephen King, though, Hollywood has been hit and miss. Sometimes, a director and screenwriter stay incredibly faithful to King’s vision, leading to satisfying horror adaptations such as Misery , Carrie , Gerald’s Game and the recent, two-part It . Other times, the source material of a Stephen King novel or series is completely ignored or reworked to the point that you can’t even recognize the story any more, and we get a movie like The Dark Tower . Yikes. Doctor Sleep falls much closer in spirit to those adaptations that faithfully interpret King’s words. It retains the plot and tone of King’s book, bu...
