Following the announcement that he would co-write and direct the movie version of Green Lantern, Greg Berlanti gave an interview to The Hollywood Reporter in which he shared his enthusiasm regarding the project and why the timing for it couldn't be more perfect. "To me, this was on the last great comic book movie that hasn't been made," said Berlanti. "It was a comic book with a real mythology that you would see in a lot of the space operas and the sci-fi books. The best part about it, anybody can be become one of the Green Lanterns because anyone can end up with that ring."
That ring, actually, and what can be done with it was one of the reasons that it was believed that until now Green Lantern couldn't be brought to life without looking laughable.
"The danger and the fear from a lot of people is that it would be silly," Berlanti admitted to THR. "In these post-Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings days, it's not any more fantastical than that. It's taken movies like that to make it feel as if a Green Lantern film is possible."
