Variety is reporting that James Bond veteran Martin Campbell is very close to signing to helm the Green Lantern movie for Warner Bros.
Campbell directed Pierece Brosnan’s first Bond film, “Goldeneye,” as well as Daniel Craig’s debut film, “Casino Royle.” Having Campbell take on this project gets things going- Warner Bros. is now thinking “Lantern” will be one of their tentpole movies in 2010 or 2011.
Campbell just wrapped “Edge of Darkness,” a thriller staring Mel Gibson, as he tries to rehab his image. -Sam
