A while ago there were rumors that Warner Brothers had went ahead and gave the green light to pursue a sequel to its Summer movie,
Green Lantern. Almost as quickly as those rumors surfaced they were debunked. Jeff Robinov, film group president for WB, chatted recently with
The LA Times in an article they did about the possibility of hero fatigue dooming superhero movies financially where he said the sequel has not gotten the go ahead, but they do have an outline for the film. Robinov also said he would like to see the film be a little more darker and edgier with more emphasis on action.
From The LA Times:
"I don't believe there is superhero fatigue," said Jeff Robinov, film group president for Warner Bros., the studio behind Green Lantern. "Every year there are half a dozen or more horror films and comedies. Superheroes have become a genre of their own and if you deliver, there's an audience."
Indeed, despite the weak box-office performance of Lantern in the U.S. and in a limited overseas launch, Warner Bros. has not scrapped the idea of a sequel. With an outline already in hand, studio executives are mulling over what changes would be needed to make a follow-up work. Robinov said he would like to see it be "a little darker and edgier with more emphasis on action."
As stated Warner Brothers are taking a harder look to see what changes need to be made in order to make the film better. With
Green Lantern yet to open in some countries it seems as if they will wait until it is released everywhere before they make their decision. What kind of changes would you guys make for the sequel?
