'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' scribe
David Goyer
and 'Contract Killers' writer
Justin Rhodes
will collaborate to write the script for
Warner Bros
and DC's upcoming movie 'Green Lantern Corps'. Goyer will also serve as producer, with DC heads Geoff Johns and Jon Berg exec producing the movie.
Unlike the previous adaptation starring
Ryan Reynolds which focused more on Hal Jordan, the upcoming movie is expected to focus on the Corps itself, the intergalactic police force formed to protect different sectors of the universe.
The story reportedly revolves around the relationship of Hal Jordan and John Stewart, who is an African-American sniper who joins the Corps. There's no word on whether Reynolds will reprise his role as Hal Jordan in the upcoming movie as the actor is now committed to
Marvel
's 'Deadpool'.
The studio will start looking for director right away after they obtain the script.
