Slash Film is reporting that Green Lantern will move from Australia to the USA!!!

This from Slashfilm:

"Update: Not long ago a source mentioned that Green Lantern might be doing some scouting in Louisiana, and I completely spaced it this morning. Same source wrote in just now to say that in fact, the production will shoot in the States next year, likely in or around New Orleans. Does that mean all the work is going to happen here? Not necessarily, but it is a sign that WB at least has a contingency plan."

The WB obviously has a back up plan (they would be ignorant not to)as the budget for this movie is crazy and they view Green Lantern as a major summer tent pole release. What does this mean for the June 17th, 2011 release date? I don't know but stay tuned as I am sure to soon find out.

Yeah it makes sense to do it there if filming in the U.S.
I just surprised that they didn't go to New Mexico.

Both of those states have excellent tax incentives for film productions.

Now this is more like it J-man, good find. I'm glad the money stays here in our country for this. There are quite a few states with good tax incentives.

@ Droopy, do you live in the US? If you do, you SHOULD care where it's made. If it gets made here, we get a few more jobs for our citizens.

Mankind, no one said anything against Australia. Australia and aussies rock.
It's just that the American economy is spiralling rapidly down the crapper. Every little bit helps

Nope, Mankind it is now cheaper to film here. Its nothing personal against you, we love you guys always have. You're Britain's rejects just like us. Me hermano, man! It's just the Australian Dollar is now stronger than the US Dollar.

1 Australian dollar = 0.8353 U.S. dollars

Because of this the budget is automatically 17% gone before they even roll film. Even with Australia's tax breaks they lose 9% profit right off the top because of the exchange rate.

Look at the bright side; it just means your economy is doing better than ours right now. AND!!! Now you can vacation here and get 17% more for your money! That's like a whole pay perview porno added to the room bill is free! Awesome.
