Where the Hell is Green Lantern Filming?

Is it just me or does Green Lantern feel like the most “On again, off again” tentpole in recent memory?

Right when a major hurdle (like casting your lead actor) has been overcome, another issue pops up. For awhile now, it’s been on shaky grounds regarding a shooting location. Reports indicated the production would be forced away from originally-intended Sydney, Australia due to rising costs.

“Not so fast!” said director Martin Campbell and his team as rumblings had Hal Jordan flying down to New Orleans as a substitute. So everything is good to go right? “Wrong!” says THR. While confirming that Australia is officially out, they reveal that locations have still yet to be determined. There goes the Big Easy. Citing “industry sources,” the trades have the production now looking towards Canada or Mexico – both have been suggested in the past.

Not to be the cynical bastard (a shock to some of you, good folks!), but I remain in my "I'll believe it when I see it!" attitude towards Green Lantern. I'd like to be proven wrong because I like the Reynolds and Campbell decisions, and feel this could be one Helluva solid film. But...man, it looks like the filmmakers just can't get their shit together here.
