haha, its not a fake.

"Warner Bros. are planning a live-action adaptation of DC Comics' Green Lantern and have hired Greg Berlanti to co-write and direct, according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter.

The Green Lantern is one of DC Comics' most enduring and popular characters. Created in 1940, the story revolves around test pilot Hal Jordan, who is charged with defending a section of the universe after he finds a powerful ring that gives him infinite powers, including flight and invisibility.

So who is Greg Berlanti? His only previous directing credit was the 2000 rom-com The Broken Hearts Club, although since then he's worked regularly in TV, writing and executive-producing the likes of Dawson's Creek, Everwood and Brothers and Sisters.

Co-writing the script will be Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green, who between them have written for the Superman/Batman, Amazing Spiderman, Wolverine and Blade comics.

Rumours surrounding a Green Lantern adaptation have been circulating for years, with Jack Black at one stage attached to a comedy version of the title.

However, according to reports, Berlanti met with DC execs last year and successfully lobbied to direct the project. His pitch included 30 images of key scenes drawn up by a concept artist, as well as ideas for a franchise, with the first instalment being an origin movie detailing how Jordan became a member of the Green Lantern corps.

"To me this is the last great comic book movie that hasn't been made," Berlanti told THR. "It was a comic book with a real mythology that you would see in a lot of the space operas and sci-fi books. The best part about it, anybody can become one of the Green Lanterns because anyone can end up with that ring."

The Green Lantern character is already set to make a big screen appearance in the forthcoming Justice League movie, although that will feature the John Stewart iteration of the character - who took over from Jordan in the 1970s."
