Green Lantern Movie

While promoting his latest movie, Safe House, Ryan Reynolds mentions the Green Lantern movie and its possible sequel.

When questioned by MTV News in regards to how Green Lantern was received by fans and critics, Reynolds offers up that you can't get totally invested in a movie.

What about the possibility of Green Lantern 2? The actor states he really has no idea.

Check out the video for yourself:

Last we heard about a new Fantastic Four movie was in early December from Fox Executive Tom Rothman who stated the movie was in development.

Now, Variety has word that a director is being looked at, and that would be Josh Trank of the upcoming "superhero" movie, Chronicle.

Trank is said to be the current frontrunner to direct the FF reboot, and even said to have attended a few meetings. However, Variety states Fox is waiting to see how Chronicle fares, which debuts Superbowl weekend.

We even learn that a script is in development from Michael Green (Green Lantern movie), of which the Studio is waiting on as well.

Regarding Chronicle, it's filmed similar to The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, and described as: "Three high school students make an incredible discovery, leading to their developing uncanny powers beyond their understanding. As they learn to control their abilities and use them to their advantage, their lives start to spin out of control, and their darker sides begin to take over."

Cosmic Book News will be sure to update when more on the Fantastic Four movie becomes available.

I'm gonna say it - the Green Lantern movie sucked!

I was really disappointed in this one. From beginning to end it was just a complete failure. The editing was terrible, the overall feel and progression of the story was bad.

And really - Parallax? 

Meh!

The movie should have been epic, but what it was - was an epic failure!

Anway, some unused concept art images of Parallax have surfaced from the artist that created the big baddie, Peter Rubin.

I think they all look better than what we got. Check 'em out:

As we get closer and closer to the busiest shopping day of the year, more and more stores are releasing their Black Friday deals.

Earlier Wal-Mart listed some good deals with PS3 and XBox under $200, as well as Wii for under $100.

Now we see Best Buy also has a PS3 for under $200. 

In addition, they have a plethora of popular games for under $30 including Batman: Arkham City.

The latest to come to you from Cosmic Book News is news on the Justice League movie.

You can check out the latest we have on The Dark Knight Rises and Superman: Man of Steel as well.

Again, bear in mind we can't confirm the information.

As we have previously heard, Warner Bros. wants a Justice League movie. WB Studio President Jeff Robinov has said so himself, and even stated a 2013 release date.

It has even been said that Christopher Nolan will be brought on to produce, that there will be a new Batman, possibly even a new Superman and Green Lantern (as Ryan Reynolds has denied anything JL related).

However, it appears there has been some recent discussion at Warner Bros. in regards to the direction of the movie.

Read on!

Plans are being put together for Justice League movie for either a 2015 or 2016 release.

DC Entertainment will be spearheading the film, and it will be distributed by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.

Geoff Johns, DC Comics Chief Creative Officer and Co-Producer on the Green Lantern movie, will be on the Justice League movie as an Executive Producer, and will be doing the initial treatment for the film before a writer is brought on to pen the screenplay.

David Goyer (screenwriter on Man of Steel) is said to be the initial favorite for the screenplay.

As Johns hasn't started work on the treatment yet, story details will not be made known, just production details within the next few months as to what it will hold.

The reason for the later release date is to get the movie right and do it proper.

They want Christopher Nolan and wife, Emma Thomas, to be involved in the film in some capacity, most likely as producers. Don't expect Christian Bale as Batman; it will be a new actor in the role.

I think every time something comes out of the various news outlets hinting there might be a sequel to the Green Lantern movie, within hour or days another outlet has something that contradicts that.

We finally get some confirmation about a potential sequel to the, shall we say, less than stellar debut of Green Lantern, which saw a $53 million opening.

Despite lackluster ticket sales and poor reviews, Warner Bros.

Green Lantern seems to have tanked and been a flop with not only a majority of reviewers, but regular audience members, as well.

Just why was this?
