While promoting his two upcoming comedies I Love You, Man and Observe and Report, producer Donald De Line also answered Coming Soon's questions about where Green Lantern is at. He dismissed earlier reports that the film's makers were looking to cast someone in the Lantern's shoes in their early 20's and instead specifically indicated that the age range for the actor that they would eventually hire would be "late 20s, early 30s."

On who the central character is in the Green Lantern movie: "Our story is the Hal Jordan origin story, but creating the character of Hal Jordan that is a real character that will resonate with the fanbase is what we need to do. You have to make him credible and somebody to care about and tell a good story, and I think if we do that, we'll be okay."

On the movie's tone: "It's going to be a series of big stakes and big action, but it absolutely has a sense of humor...I think people accept real life, even with really serious situations, with humor as part of that situation, as we experience in life, you have to have that. That's how people cope, so they've done it so well in these other movies. I think that people are absolutely ready. It doesn't have to fall on one side of the fence vs. the other."
