It seems like The Green Lantern — as well as The Green Hornet for that matter — have been in-development for a decade now, with forward progress strictly fueled by rumors and collapsible plans. This is no different today, as the latest news has the Lantern getting a big push-back to accompany it’s latest leading man casting rumor.

The movie is an adaptation of the classic comic book following various men who wield a ring of power. This particular project will follow ring-bearer Hal Jordan, a fighter pilot who was given his ring by a dying alien who had crashed on earth.

The Green Lantern was originally set for a December 17, 2010 release date, but considering not much has officially been taken care of, it has now been re-set for a June 17, 2011 release. This will allow the movie to find its cast, set everything in stone, and take the time to do it right instead of finding themselves in a chaos…hopefully.
