Green Lantern Game to Accompany Film in 2011

by Nick Breckon, Jul 13, 2009 3:09pm PDT

A videogame based on the upcoming film adaptation of the classic comic Green Lantern is in development at Double Helix, according to Venture Beat.

The film, to be directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye), is scheduled for a June 17, 2011 release.

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the Double Helix game are in the works. No other details on the game were mentioned.

Double Helix is comprised of former studios Shiny Entertainment and The Collective. The studio released its debut title, Silent Hill: Homecoming, in 2008. Helix will release G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra and Front Mission Evolved later this year.

This might be good as a project natal game since it's coming out so far in the future. Just imagine pretending you're wearing one of those rings and it's all like...doing different stuff depending on how you hold your hand or something.

I keep hearing Green Lantern is a good comic now but it seems like Nova and the Nova Corps+Rainbow Coalition. Every color has a ring now, even Black got on in the newest issue.

Green Lantern is to played by Ryan Reynolds (who also played Deadpool). Of course he's recently incited internet nerd rage by saying "I don’t really play video games. Is there a way to waste more f—ing time?"

I'm very much not of the comic scene, but for what I do know green lantern sounds like it would translate fairly easy into a game form as far as common mechanics go. I am somewhat worried about it being an accompaniment to a film though as film games have an observable record of poor performance and that comic fans wouldn't get the game they deserve.
