> Lanterns is designed as a multi-season show, should they get the opportunity to do more, so more Lantern pop-ins could be in the cards down the line. “I’d be totally bluffing if I said I could tell you the last thing of the endgame,” Mundy adds.
Interesting… I wonder if people like Lindelof would return, since he’s working on his new show now.
Rich Evans owns the rights to “Space Cops” as that’s his planned sequel to “Space Cop”.
Ugh. “Designed as a multi-season show,” is the last thing I want to hear. That means cliffhangers and then cancelled because not enough people were watching to make the big budget worth it. Why can’t people just tell a one season story and then see how it goes?
>“We wanted to tell an on-the-ground story, and that has a couple of different mysteries inside of it,” Mundy explains. “What we have going for us is that it’s a Green Lantern story. They can conjure anything from the ring. **They do go off the planet. There’s all these other powers that they have. We wanna use everything that’s great about the mythology of the Green Lanterns**, but at the same time, we wanted it to feel like an upscale mystery, a very emotionally tangible story about these people that are in it.”
For all the people complaining that they didn’t see green lasers or aliens in the preview. This is sounding like a perfect concept!
“Multiple timelines” always worries me. I feel like so many shows try to make an uninteresting or incomplete story more interesting by telling it out of chronological order. There have been shows that pulled it off (season 1 of Westworld) but I feel like so many others fall short
August is too far away
