This comes from Bleeding Cool, who appear to ahve been scmoozing with some of the movie's production crew around the New Orleans bars, where they heard this little gem of info..
...the word is that shooting on Green Lantern 2 is scheduled to begin before the first movie is even released.
So confident of a smash are Warner Bros, that they already making big plans to use current shooting location New Orleans as a stand-in for DC’s Coast City in the sequel, which will be announced for either a Summer or Christmas 2012 release, depending on where the Flash movie fits in.
And if the first film does the megabucks they are expecting, then Warners will greenlight a third Green Lantern movie to be shot back to back with the second, for release in 2013.
Pretty much a
Lord Of The Rings type deal then. If this is accurate, expect cross overs. I just can't imagine they would film 3 movies in succession, with
The Flash and another
Superman coming out, without fitting one of em in somewhere. Also, providing this is on the level, this could seriously put a crimp in any plans for Ryan Reynolds to star as
Deadpool in the proposed solo movie. As far as I know, he hasn't officially signed on for that yet!
