Earlier this week we got our first look at two more legendary heroes from the DC universe. James Gunn shared a new image from the set of Lanterns as film on the series gets underway. But following our first look at Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler on set, the series showrunner has now spoken about bringing John Stewart and Hal Jordan to the screen.
The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.
Chris Mundy, serving on Lanterns as executive producer and showrunner, says of the series: “From the start, our driving force has been to deliver a layered drama – rooted in nuanced storytelling and rich world building – that balances tension and mystery with honest, authentic emotion. The goal is to create something that feels timeless and grounded without sacrificing the magic of the source material.”
The Lanterns pilot is co-written by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and Tom King. The first two episodes are directed by James Hawes, with Stephen Williams, Geeta Vasant Patel and Alik Sakharov also tapped to direct. The series is executive produced by Mundy, Lindelof, James Gunn, Peter Safran, King, Ron Schmidt, and Hawes. Based on the DC comic “Green Lantern.”
Starring alongside Chandler and Pierre are Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, and Ulrich Thomsen.
