When news of a new series based on the Green Lantern comicbooks emerged, there was cause for concern as two the writers of the much-maligned 2011 movie were credited among the team bringing it to life.
Unlike the DC shows the pair has worked on for US network The CW, this is based at HBO Max, with a much bigger budget and an even wider scope in its concept.
The team, which also includes Seth Grahame-Smith, is close to announcing the casting choice for Scott, and deals are being made for the other main roles, with filming expected this year.
