September 1, 1999 - Green Lantern
Scooped on Sunday, October 12, 2008
True to our word, we gave the offices of View Askew a shout to see if we could get that confirmation or denial that Kevin Smith would be writing the Green Lantern movie shortly as yesterday's scooper reported to us. Unfotunately our call wasn't returned before the close of business, but we'll try and get that official word from The Kevin if we can.
But we're siding that Kevin is not penning a new script for any proposed Green Lantern movie. We know that Smith is gung ho about writing some Green Arrow comics, and as soon as we read yesterday's e-mail that Smith would be writing a GL movie, we immediately thought some wires may have been crossed in that Toronto auditorium. That's why were hoping for an official confirm/denial from Smith himself, but for the moment we have the comments of someone else who attended the same Toronto panel:
"I too was at the comic con on the weekend and Kevin Smith did not say what Thanatos reports. He said Warner had approached him about it, but he passed on it. What he said was that he was going to be writing Green Arrow the comic book for DC and that he was going to get started on THAT sometime in the next few months. Tell that guy to check his hearing." [Anonymous.]
That's why we believe that our Thanatos scooper may have misheard what Smith said at the con; we're feeling pretty confident that if Smith said he was writing the script for Green Lantern all the various Kevin Smith shrine sites would be all over the story. After a quick check around some of the major sites tonight we can report that the story isn't being repeated anywhere else...except in postings from curious Smith fans who read about it here and want to know if it's true or not. As we said, we're working on getting that official word, but for the moment assume that Smith is not writing the script for GL.
