The three-man writing team that did work on the Green Lantern screenplay, Greg Berlanti, Michael Green, and Marc Guggenheim (see “Green Lantern Movie Gets Writers”), has been hired to work on a sequel to Green Lantern and on a movie based on the Flash, according to Hollywood Reporter.  They will produce treatments for the two films, then proceed to write a screenplay for one of the two, according to the report.

Green Lantern is cast and shooting in New Orleans (see “Angela Bassett in Green Lantern”), but it’s very rare for a sequel to be begun before the first film is even completed. 

The Flash movie, which DC Entertainment CCO Geoff Johns is producing (see “Johns to Produce Flash Movie”), is now moving ahead based on Johns’ recent comic work on the character.  It will utilize the Barry Allen version of the character, according to the report.
