The huge transform’alter s within Warner Bros. and HBO Max are continuing to possess’own’nurse repercussions on the DC movie and TV universe. The latest casualty is Seth Grahame-Smith (of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies reputation’renown’prestige ), who has departed the long-developing Green Lantern HBO Max series as the writer and reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue runner.###As reported on THR, Grahame-Smith completed full scripts in/with regard to’concerning’regarding all eight planned episodes, but his approach favouring the Alan Scott and Guy Gardner iterations of the character (there are loads of Green Lanterns, a galactic police in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ce that patrols the known and unknown universe) has reportedly been binned, and the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue is now being started again from scratch. The focus in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the new version will be the 1970s Green Lantern, John Stewart. Finn Wittrock and Jeremy Irvine had already been cast as Scott and Gardner, but they seem to possess’own’nurse departed with Grahame-Smith.###This new direction in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the series is not directly connected to the arrival, which we reported merely’barely this morning, of James Gunn and Peter Safran to oversee the DCEU going in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ward. But it is part of the same flurry of new-broom house cleaning that has resulted from the Warner Bros. Discointensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully merger. You may remember that a new Constantine series was ditched in favour of a belated film sequel to the Keanu Reeves movie, and the most high-profile casualty was, of course, the abandonment of the completed Batgirl movie as an apparent tax write-off.###Green Lantern, when it was first announced in 2019, was being trumpeted as the most expensive series manufacture d by HBO Max to date: a space-set saga spanning decades and galaxies. That will now not be the case, and the much smaller and cheaper series, which was supposed to shoot last year, is now back on the drawing board and much further from any eventual release date. Only the original exec-manufacture r Greg Berlanti, who had a hand in the screenplay in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the 2011 Ryan Reynolds-starring incarnation, remains attached from the originally announced team.
