Green Lantern has gone through many stages of development: announced, then "next", then "on-hold" and "not on-hold", and now, "moving ahead". Co-screenwriter Michael Green told SciFiWire that "'Green Lantern' seems to be moving ahead."
Green has previously said that Warner Bros usually "inch" their way to making movies, but says that director Martin Campbell is now officially Green Lantern's director, not just in talks. Said Green:
They have a director attached to it now and seem to be moving forward, they being Warner Brothers. And I hope they do, because, as a fan of [the character and title], I just want to see the movie. I love the material. I was fortunate enough to get to adapt something that I've loved for a long time.
