Been following Production Weekly's Twitter feed? You should be, as it's a veritable buffet of regular film news. Recently they dropped like a ton of bricks the news that production on the Ryan Reynolds starring Green Lantern film might be delayed due to the recent gains made by the Australian dollar. Damn roo lovin' freaks! From an article in the Australian website, Inside Film...
"While most offshore productions lock in finance when a project is green-lit, it is understood that ongoing work on the Green Lantern script delayed that move. Pre-production on the film was originally scheduled for July and filming for November,"
The only reason I bother posting this is because..well, Green Lantern is the superhero movie I'm probably most excited about. And a delay of this sort could force them to switch locations, hire an entirely new crew, and could push this thing back months if not longer. Warner Bros. has their entire slate lined up pretty neatly right now, and Green Lantern is the lynchpin of the entire strategy. If something like this derails it, it could be a disaster.
