Green Lantern Moving To Mexico!?

From Australia to New Orleans to Mexico, the Green Lantern has already made his international rounds. Where will the movie be filmed?

Green Lantern was set to begin filming this year in November. However the deceit of the Australian government has delayed this film's shooting early next year. Where you may ask? This is from Insidifilm.com:

"Warner Bros is understood to be preparing to shift its Green Lantern production to Mexico from Australia, where the booming currency has blown out costs."

Why did I say deceit? Because the Australian government says to Warner Bros: hey take a trip to the land down under, mate, where filming movies will cost you less to make because of our awesome government tax breaks we will give you." Once Warner Bros gets there, the first thing that is handed to them is a fat bill noting the inflated currency rate, making the production in Australia no longer profitable and forcing Warner Brothers to scout filming locations elsewhere. Next up Mexico.

First "The Green Lantern" was filming in Australia, then it was rumored to be filming in Louisiana, and now Mexico? Well, if they are trying to beat the currency exchange rate issue, Mexico would be the place to go. I do know one thing, "Green Lantern" better get made. Australia is starting to remind me of what the Madden video game does to the star that is on the cover, cripple them. "Justice League" started in Australia and never got off the ground. No more Australia connections. I want Green Lantern filming now!

	Are you saying Warner Bros. didn't know that the exchange rate would inflate cost? Or did the government renege on the tax breaks? marvelguy - 9/30/2009, 12:09 PM
	multi@ hah, fantastic. that guys such a jackass superdog - 9/30/2009, 12:20 PM

	lmao at the Kanye pics. What a complete and utter moron! After the fish dicks South Park ep he really should have realized how much of a c#nt the world sees him as..then he goes and does that!! Rorschach01 - 9/30/2009, 1:52 PM
	Well look at it this way, Mexico really does work. Only 1/3 of the movie takes place on Earth, 1/3 on Oa, and a final 1/3 takes place in space. The origin of Hal takes place near Ferris Air which is located in the desert, and Coast city which is surrounded by an arid area, so filming in Mexico wouldn't really detract from the overall look of the film the other 2/3 will need sets, CGI, and unusual environments Mexico can provide all that as well. nerosday - 9/30/2009, 1:58 PM
	@bullsize Glad you liked them, they were fun to make! Just goes to show what you're capable of doing with a couple hours of boredom and a few random pictures :) MultiPurposePoni - 9/30/2009, 2:21 PM
	LMAO! You guys never seem to amaze me with your funny photos, especially Tea@ and Sirprize@! Tea & Sirprize, hmmm sounds like somebody got sumthin' unexpected in their afternoon tea-break! :D :D :D DDD - 9/30/2009, 3:18 PM

	Mexico is a great place, nobody lives there. They all jumped the border and moved to Florida. I have illegals living on both sides of me. Number21 - 9/30/2009, 4:04 PM
	@teabag @Shaman @DDD @SirPrize @nerosday @LEEE777 @Tyler Check out flame809's article "this is a character that im writing a story on" in Fan Fic. He's looking for some opinions, maybe you all can help him out :) MultiPurposePoni - 9/30/2009, 5:18 PM
	Atleast they are still doing the movie... lets just be happy about that... Thank god thegreek - 9/30/2009, 9:42 PM
	The reason it became so expensive in Australia was largely due to something you might have heard of, called a global financial crisis. Australia handled the crisis a lot better than most countries, so yes, our dollar went up while the American dollar went down. Superdog @ no Australia isnt a socialist country.
