[Lootpack]

Didn’t see a thread for it.

The Green Lanterns’ light is officially ready to shine again.

HBO has officially picked up “Lanterns,” the first live-action series created expressly for DC Studios under co-chairmen/co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. The series has been given an eight-episode, straight-to-series order by HBO, with Chris Mundy (“True Detective: Night Country,” “Ozark”) serving as showrunner and exec producer.

Also on board: Damon Lindelof (“Watchmen,” “The Leftovers”) and Tom King (“Mister Miracle,” “Supergirl”), who will serve as executive producers and co-write “Lanterns” with Mundy. Warner Bros. TV is producing with DC Studiosand HBO; the show is based on the DC comic “Green Lantern.”

Per the logline, new recruit Stewart and Lantern legend Jordan are “two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.”

True Detective with superpowers just may be fire

I saw Chris Pine is runner up if Brolin declines. I think Pine is a better choice. Not really interested in hearing Brolin’s voice as a third big name comic character

I'm all for John Stewart being the main Green Lantern but Brolin is too old to be Hal Jordan.

I hope the RDJ Doom casting didn't start a trend of recycling actors.

How'd I not know Glen Powell was the dude in Scream Queens and Expendables 3 He was great in the 1st season of that show. I only knew him as the guy that got ho'd by Bane at the Stock Exchange in The Dark Knight Rise

Yea they should've had him be Hal although IDK if he'd do TV. I'm interested in who they get to play John Stewart.
