While promoting I Love You, Man to the press, producer Donald De Line was asked by Collider.com's Steve Weintraub about the live-action Green Lantern film, beginning with whether or not the film would be a more "straight-up" superhero film. "It is absolutely a big action/adventure piece and fantasy, obviously, as we go into space with the Green Lantern. And it's Hal Jordan. It will absolutely have a sense of humor as well, [but] character-based humor. So it's not dark in that regard. I would say the tone absolutely wants to live in that kind of a world [like Iron Man]."
Then, when asked whether this film was a definite go, De Line said, "It is definitely going as much as anything is in the movie business right now. We're in pre-production. We have Martin Campbell directing it. We have our production designer and costume designer. We're heading off to Australia to scout next week. It's on the release calendar. I feel like we'd have to do something really wrong to stop it from happening. But I think we're absolutely going to keep it on track."
