Martin Campbell could be directing Green Lantern!

Casino Royale director Martin Campbell is in talks to direct Green Lantern according to Variety. If the talks go well and Campbell does sign on to direct, this would be a smart move by Warner Bros. Most people agree that Casino Royale was a great movie and one of the main reason for that was Campbell.

The emergence of Campbell, who also helmed two “Zorro” films and the 007 film “GoldenEye,” puts “Green Lantern” at the top of DC properties being set for movie treatment by WB. While the studio is hoping director Chris Nolan will follow its 2008 smash “The Dark Knight” with another Batfilm, DC projects such as Superman and “Justice League” were expected to happen quickly, but have stalled.

Instead, the hot DC titles are “Green Lantern” and “Jonah Hex,” the latter of which has Josh Brolin set to play a disfigured gunslinger in a film that begins production in April, directed by Jimmy Heyward (“Horton Hears a Who”).
