Screenwriter Marc Guggenheim Talks Green Lantern
Earlier this month, Newsarama snagged an interview with writer Marc Guggenheim, who, among other projects, (currently writing Amazing Spider-Man) was tapped last year as the writer of the Green Lantern movie. Check out these tidbits.
NRAMA: Can you tell us why you think the reaction will be positive?MG: Because, it's not only a respectful approach to the character, but it's a loving approach to the entire mythos. So while there is this desire to be quiet and secretive and let the movie speak for itself, it's hard for me, because I feel like I know -- as a comic book fan -- I know what I want to see in a comic book movie.
NRAMA: You said it's the whole mythos. Can you tell us what characters might be included in that? We've been told it's about Hal Jordan.MG: I can confirm that it's Hal Jordan, but I can't really talk about anything else. I really wish I could, because there's lots of stuff I want to brag about.
Green Lantern is a great, great character, and Greg and I are always talking at every step of the process about what makes Green Lantern great. We want to be focused on that. We always start all our meetings and story discussions and all of our scene discussions with, OK, what's cool about Green Lantern? Why Green Lantern? And we always come from that place, which is an incredibly useful thing to do because you don't want Green Lantern to be a generic superhero movie.
As a Green Lantern fanboy I'm always excited to hear about the movie. And for the love of god Kilowog better be in it. (he's my favorite).
