An Update On WB And Geoff Johns' Live-Action GREEN LANTERN Projects Could Be Coming Soon

In an interview looking back at his epic Doomsday Clock limited series, writer Geoff Johns revealed that updates on the HBO Max Green Lantern TV series and WB's GL Corps. movie could be forthcoming.

In addition to closing out a two-year long run on Doomsday Clock, Geoff Johns has spent the better part of 2019 working on 2 Green Lantern projects - a live-action film for Warner Bros. and  a live-action television series for HBO Max. 

In November, Variety reported that Johns had a deadline to turn in his script for the Green Lantern Corps. movie by the end of the year, and that the project remained a priority for WB despite the recent announcement of HBO Max's GL television series from Johns and Greg Berlanti. 

"It’s a really exciting year to have Doomsday Clock finished up. I’m doing more comics. Stargirl trailer’s out. [Wonder Woman 1984] is on its way. And a lot of work with Green Lantern outside comics that hopefully you’ll hear about soon. I feel very, very lucky I work on the characters I do with the people I do. I couldn’t be more fortunate, and it’s been a time-intensive and challenging year, but a good one."

Going by the above statement, it sounds as if Johns has turned in his script to WB and news on whether the project moves forward or goes back for more re-writes should be revealed soon. 

HBO Max is set to launch May 2020, just 5 months from now!  Rest assured WB will hype up all of its upcoming DC adaptations (Green Lantern, DC Super Hero High, Strange Adventures)  for the streaming platform in a similar fashion to how Marvel promoted its upcoming shows for Disney+.

Why is Geoff Johns writing this, lol. He's never written a screenplay and he's not even that good of a writer. Should have gotten an actual screen-writer.
Also that HBO Max GL show sounds like a mistake. HBO and HBO Max are two separate entities with separate levels of quality control and budget allocation. Berlanti producing doesn't exactly give me hope for good television either.

HOW DARE YOU SIR!!!!…………..is what I would say if it was still 2007.

@soberchimera - For real though, writing a comic and writing a movie are two vastly different things and he's never written a film script by himself before. The TV show he just show-ran looks really bad, don't know why they're giving him the keys to something this big.

With Green being a very popular color you just hope they are able to capitalize on the visual delights with a script that essentuates quality storytelling.

Make Jessica Cruz the main character of the film and then we're talking.

I really wish Green Lantern was coming to the big screen, still and not just on HBO Max.

It does sound like HBO Max will have some good shows, if the rumored DC shows turn out to be true. It is nice to see WB and DC stepping their game up. Now they just need to find a way to bring Flash to the big screen and have a new actor play Barry Allen too.

Plus I wouldn't say no to having Guillermo del Toro bring out Justice League Dark. So if WB can do all that, I'll be thrilled.

@BlackIceJoe - WeGotThisCovered has been proven to exclusively make up stories. It's as legitimate as the Onion.
As for Max, we don't even know what the quality of one of their shows looks like since it's run by different people from HBO.

@tmp3 - I understand they have been known to make up stuff, but recently they have been better and hopefully it will turn out to be true.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - I'm surprised a new season hasn't been made for the DC Universe. Young Justice has been a hit on the network and I can see that being a hit there too. I do think it would become a 2d show instead of 3d, because I remember Bruce Timm saying the CGI cost more than hand drawn animation, but I'd be fine with that.
