Berlanti Brings Green Lantern to Light

Greg Berlanti, powerhouse TV producer (Dirty Sexy Money, Brothers & Sisters) and sometime feature director (The Broken Hearts Club) has taken on helming duties for the upcoming Green Lantern feature.

And who's the Green Lantern?

In comic-book-land, he's Hal Jordan, test pilot, a brave man selected by alien forces to be a superhero.

His mandate is to protect and guard Earth against evil interlopers from all over the galaxy, using his power ring to help right triumph over wrong, and all while wearing green tights - in other words, this is another lucrative comic book film franchise in the making now that other, more established superheroes enter sequels-of-sequels territory.

No word on casting yet, but expect lots of big names in the hopper of summer blockbuster hopefuls.
