Hollywood studio bosses are so confident RYAN REYNOLDS' upcoming adaptation of THE GREEN LANTERN comic will be a box office hit, they've begun work on a sequel - a year before the superhero's blockbuster debut.
The movie, starring Reynolds as DC Comics character HAI Jordan (aka The Green Lantern), is currently shooting in New Orleans, Louisiana for a planned summer 2011 release.
But bosses at Warner Bros. are keen to cash in on what they believe will be a soaring success and have already started development on a sequel.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, studio executives have hired original Lantern writers Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, to come up with the second installment.
The Green Lantern cast also includes Blake Lively, Tim Robbins, Peter Sarsgaard and Brit Mark Strong. (JMA/HR/MT)
