The long in-development Green Lantern movie will soon start shooting, according to producer Donald De Line. This comes from FirstShowing.net, who caught up with the producer who is developing the film.

“A new draft of the script came in,” he had revealed. “[We’re] gearing up to start shooting early spring."

The DC Comics project at Warner Bros. is expected to be out sometime late 2009 or 2010. It is based on the popular comic series created back in the ‘40s by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell.

The Green Lantern franchise is one that is yet to be translated into a big-screen or adapted in live-adaptation. While the project was announced almost a year back, with Greg Barlanti directing and Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green penning the scripts, no updates were made until today.

Guggenheim spoke to ComicCon.com, revealing that he has been working his “ass off” for the project, adding that the film will feature an “incredibly faithful rendition of [Hal Jordan’s] character.”

“It honors everything everyone loves about the hero. We approach it from a fan’s perspective. Every step of the way, we ask ourselves what we want to see and what the fans will want to see. I think we have a script that will actually satisfy on those levels.”
