Green Lantern A Trilogy?

Movie blog Celluloid and Cigarette Burns claims Campbell has confirmed a trilogy of movies for Green Lantern.

Green Lantern Director Martin Cambell has confirmed we will be seeing a trilogy. He says that the first film will be filled with the origins of both Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) and The Green Lantern Corps.

Cambell has already hinted that Sinestro (Mark Strong) and Star Sapphire (Blake Lively) could be future villains.

Where they could take the Green Lantern from there is wide open. Could the Black Lanterns be a possibility?





EDITOR NOTE: This "confirmation" comes from a blog with no verifiable quotes from Campbell, so let's just say it's likely that if Green Lantern does well that more movies will follow and leave it at that.

sweet...and where is that pic from???

As cool as they are, I think the Black Lanterns are much to recent an addition to the GL mythos to get movie treatment. A trilogy would be good for a movie of this caliber. There are many stories to be told and they should be done right and over a length of time.
thegreek - 2/26/2010, 4:52 PM
Hell to the YES... GL would def be a trilogy ... Bring it on DC ... Finally bring on the heros...Flash / WW/ Batman / Superman

I expected nothing less!
InTylerWeTrust - 2/26/2010, 5:00 PM
I can see Sinestro or Sapphire as the villain(s) for GL 2-3. I'd also like to see Parallax make an appearance, but preferably for GL 3.
Hawksblueyes - 2/26/2010, 5:04 PM
Dogs: I don't know, I searched for anything talking about it being a trilogy and didn't find anything.
TANKGIRL - 2/26/2010, 5:15 PM

I think with how the big craze is dark cbm. They would love the chance to do Black Lanterns.
LEEE777 - 2/26/2010, 5:27 PM

Good stuff!

TYLER- Parallax..HELL YA! I'm hoping for a "Sinestro
Wars" storyline..but I'm not holding my breath!


ANTI-MONITOR..ANYONE??..Not sure if he would translate
GOOD on the big screen but a FANBOY can dream
luffycapri - 2/26/2010, 5:50 PM
i saw this coming along time ago
Diamond1995 - 2/26/2010, 5:58 PM
Oh this just keeps getting better and better. :)
Diamond1995 - 2/26/2010, 6:01 PM
villains I would like to see in the Green Lantern franchise
1. Sinestro (duh)
2. Star Sapphire (I know you guys would love to see Blake Lively wear the ultra-revealin Star Sapphire costume)
3. Black or red lanterns
4. The Manhunters
Gotbatman - 2/26/2010, 6:20 PM
my guess 1st film is Hector Hammond and Legion
2nd film is Sinestro and maybe Star Saphire
3rd films Sinestro Corps vs. Green Lantern Corps!
juggy4711 - 2/26/2010, 6:38 PM
I'm sure there is an opton for three films but unless it makes enough money don't count on it. So as long as its good we need to go see in theaters a couple times each to insure that we get the sequels we want.
Dmon - 2/26/2010, 6:59 PM
@juggy4711 I would go see a GL movie 20 times.

Also Everyone please check out my Fancast and comment, its my first.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
flames809 - 2/26/2010, 7:34 PM
i think Sinestro will turn a villain at the end of the second movie making him the villain for the third movie. make sense showing him and Hal friend relationship
superotherside - 2/26/2010, 9:56 PM
why just a trilogy? i think they should sign everyone up for 9 or 10 films or maybe more! and make about 8+ films superhero films every year! i don't really care if the flood the market we need some superheros flying around or swinging or telaporting, or what ever! 10+great Superhero films per year=happy comicbook fans! yay!
ThunderCougarFalconBird - 2/27/2010, 2:21 AM
This doesn't shock me. Every movie deal of this ilk has a standard 3 movie contract for the actors and director, you never sign for a single movie in this genre.

As for more than 3 movies, well there will be. They just sign people on for 3 to test the waters, if fans take to it then they will carry on, if someone bombs then they can revise the situation.
HOWLER16 - 2/27/2010, 2:22 AM
YEah i really believe! they need more than 3 movies
i mena they HAVE to introduce the other corps
RED
ORANGE
SINESTO
INDIGO TRIBE
STAR SAPPHIRES
BLACK
BLUE
PARALAX
ION
KYLE RAYNER
GUY GARDNER
JOHN STEWART

YEAH
GREEN LANTERN 1,2,3,4,5,6
IS A MUST!
ChristopherM - 2/27/2010, 4:08 AM
@Hawksblueyes

yeah Campbell has mentioned this stuff in video interviews...I didn't have the links at the time but I could have stuff updated by Monday...He did lots of pointless press for Edge of Darkness so finding the quotes could be hard...I'm shocked you guys didn't already report on this stuff....the point of my article was just to show how epic these films could be once they get the origin out of the way...

personally I don't think Blake Lively would make a very good Star Sapphire...I would expect that Sinestro and the Black/Red Lanterns would be the villains in the sequels..that one is just speculation on my part

Blackest Night would not work since it is a DC main event. Unless they wanna put Superman in it also.
NightAvenger - 2/27/2010, 5:54 AM
New Idea!
1st-Atrocitus/Hector Hammond-John is a supporting character.
2nd-Sinestro/Star Sapphire/Black Hand-John/Guy as GL's.Parallax gets Hal.Sinestro's recruiting
3rd-Corp War-Kyle Rayner,John,and Guy try to get Hal back from the dead.
WeaponX - 2/27/2010, 6:54 AM
I'm thinking they would probably build towards an epic battle with the Yellow and Green Lanterns. But again this will all depend on how good the first Green Lantern film really is.

I think, for the most part, he's getting ahead of himself.
jjmeylar - 2/27/2010, 6:58 AM
This was, pretty much, expected. I mean, more than likely, "Green Lantern" is going to rock the box office. So, they'd need to make more.
I just hope that Ryan is still able to do "Deadpool". I know that he wants to do the character the right way, and I know that I want him to, as well.

@SolidSnake: It would make an epic animated film, though.
jazzman - 2/27/2010, 7:09 AM
@WeaponX

this did not come from Campbell but a blog site Hawksblueyes gave a update on the article
Hawksblueyes - 2/27/2010, 7:28 AM
ChristopherM : Thanks for the report. I check out your site pretty regularly.
dailycomicsfix - 2/27/2010, 7:35 AM
One can only hope this will be a trilogy!

It would be cool have more than a trilogy most CBMS are trilogies, I think it would be great for these movies to be more. In my opinion, they are the only films that deserve it. There are so many stories. I think it would be great if Batman had three or four more films. Six is a good number. The trick is to keep the core actors and keep great writers and directors. Of course in Hollywood that can be the most difficult thing to do.
biggcess - 2/27/2010, 7:49 AM
this movie is gonna suck.

Blake lively..... really ?!!??!
WeaponX - 2/27/2010, 8:28 AM
@jazzman - Oh, OK. Thanks for pointing that out.
LEEE777 - 2/27/2010, 9:29 AM
Citizen9602 @ WTF dude??????????

Do you read GL????

KYLE RAYNER can't be in the first movie, its years before he turns up and if he was, they'd be no reason for HAL?

GUY GARDNER is an important part of the origin of GL, ive said that from day one, also i said EMERALD DAWN was and look their using it!!

GUY GARDNER all the way!!!!

GL 2 = STEWART

GL 3 = RAYNER

GL PREQUEL and/or a JSA big screen movie = ALAN SCOTT!

LuckyKyd - 2/27/2010, 9:35 AM
Why make it a trilogy when you can make it a double trilogy? eh? :D

With the emotional spectrum, different power rings, corps, Plus the many already mentioned cool villains, why stop at 3? There is a whole mythology in the likes of Star Wars, why not follow suit and make 6 movies? GL could be the Star Wars of this decade and possibly the next...

Here is me hoping! :D Cheers everybody and have a nice saturday. I know I'm going to... ;)
LEEE777 - 2/27/2010, 9:37 AM
LuckyKid90 @ They say trilogy, but if it carries on making the big bucks, were talking a continuing franchise like TERMINATOR, 007, BATMAN, TREK, etc.
LuckyKyd - 2/27/2010, 9:40 AM
@LEEE: Yeah I know. And a continuing franchise is just what I want. GL could, as I just rewrote in my comment above, be the next Star Wars or Bond, Terminator, Batman, etc...

I really hope it makes enough money for just some of these dreams to come true! :)
rsalas - 2/27/2010, 9:44 AM
If they do plan on doing a blackest night it's gonna take another three movies.
Joe6Pack74 - 2/27/2010, 10:27 AM
I just hope they don't jump the shark or X-OW it. But I can't wait to see the lanterns.
ChristopherM - 2/27/2010, 11:20 AM
@Hwkblueyes no problem! I'm a big fan of CBM

here are my favorites to play future Lanterns



Anthony Mackie (Hurt Locker, Million Dollar Baby) as John Stewart



Sharlto Copley (District 9, A-Team) as Guy Gardner



Henry Cavill (War of The Gods) as Kyle Rayner
brnxnatural - 2/27/2010, 12:09 PM
I hope the first Green Lantern is good though. They should be focus on their first film. Then carry on from there. But lets hope Green Lantern is good so there can be a trilogy cause I would really love that. I think Green Lantern has the potential to be as good as the Spider-Man franchise.
marvel72 - 2/27/2010, 1:12 PM
green lantern trilogy i think should be.
1.hal jordan origin & sinestro fall from grace.
2.hal jordan vs sinetro.introduce guy gardner
3.green lantern corps vs sinestro corps.
or
1.hal jordan vs sinestro.
2.hal jordan(paralax)vs guy gardner & maybe show sinestro recruiting members for his corps.
3.green lantern corps vs sinastro corps.
if there is another two films.
4.red lanterns & agent orange.
5.the black lanterns(maybe this would involve to many charactors.)
running time for each film 2hrs plus.
48and2 - 2/27/2010, 1:22 PM
this is like duh - I bet there won't even be a second movie if it doesn't make back its budget lol...

This is fun for stoking the fires, but isn't it pretty much a given with such an iconic character, and rich source material that if the first movie makes a profit, they will make more. Which with WB/Martin Campbel/RR/and now Mark Strong, it probably will.

Teabag just said everything I did with one line of sarcasm lol...

Blake Lively is young and has potential - I liked her on SNL and all the interviews I've seen.

And with the Black Lanterns, yeah it's early even for talk of them, but again they're definitely trending towards the darker cbm's.

Why a trilogy - because three's the magic number, that's why. lol

LEEE - Howabout Bradley Cooper for Hal Jordan? ;-)
