For a while now it's been rumored that the rising Australian dollar was pushing the production of Green Lantern to New Orleans, or possibly Mexico. Apparently there was more than a grain of truth to those rumors, as the Times-Picayune reports that "the rumors are correct" and a New Orleans studio has been contacted to begin production in March.
The Times-Picayune also claims that Green Lantern is the first of three DC movies that will set up a Justice League movie, with The Flash and Wonder Woman being the other two. This comes as a surprise since, last we heard, The Flash script was "moving forward," but Wonder Woman was being "called back."
It makes sense that DC Entertainment would want to rival Marvel's slate of Avengers, and Justice League director George Miller has admitted that the movie would be made "eventually."
