Los Angeles [US], May 26 (ANI): Damon Lindelof and Chris Mundy have come on board for DC’s upcoming Green Lantern series as writers.
Taking to Instagram, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn confirmed the update, writing, “Yes, it’s true. The ‘Lanterns’ DCU series is putting together a crack team of writers, based on a wonderful pilot script and bible by Chris Mundy, Tom King and Damon Lindelof.”
Lindelof is known as the co-creator and showrunner of the sci-fi series ‘Lost’ which ran from 2004 to 2010 on ABC, and the 2019 HBO limited series ‘Watchmen’. He also co-created and served as showrunner on the HBO supernatural series ‘The Leftovers’, as per Variety.
Mundy served as showrunner on the Netflix series “Ozark” from 2017 to 2022. He executive produced such series as “Criminal Minds,” “Cold Case,” “Bloodline” and “True Detective” Season 4.
In January of last year, Gunn and DC Studios co-head Peter Safran announced the Green Lantern series, titled “Lanterns,” as one of the first 10 film and TV titles within the rebooted DC Universe. At the time, Safran described the series as “a huge HBO-quality event” that is “very much in the vein of ‘True Detective.'”
The project will focus on two of the best known members of the Green Lantern corps.: Hal Jordan (the test pilot first played on screen by Ryan Reynolds in 2011’s “Green Lantern”) and John Stewart (an ex-marine and one of DC’s first Black superheroes), who investigate a mystery that Safran said “plays a really big role leading us into the main story that we’re telling across our film and television.” (ANI)
