Green Lantern writer Marc Guggenheim talks Green Lantern 2 and The Flash
"I think where that came out of was, when Greg Berlanti originally pitched the movie to Warner Bros., he pitched three movies. So there's always been, and he's said this publicly, that there's always been enough story for a trilogy. The scope of the character and the character's world requires that. But we're really just focusing on the treatment for Green Lantern 2."
We reported back in June that Marc Guggenheim, Greg Berlanti and Michael Green were hired to write the treatments for both Green Lantern 2 and The Flash. Marc Guggenheim revealed to the site that their treatment for The Flash was recently completed, although they haven't started work on the actual script yet:
"I think it's very hard to talk about these characters in a closed-ended, sort of non-sequel way, especially characters like The Flash and Green Lantern, which have such rich, long histories. You can't help but talk about the characters and go, 'Oh, I really want to do the movie where we get to this moment, or that moment.' So you're always talking in terms of sequels, but no, nothing's planned. We haven't even written the script yet for The Flash. It's very much one step at a time for The Flash.
Marc Guggenheim also talked about his visit to the Green Lantern set in New Orleans:
"I went down to New Orleans two months ago to see some of the Green Lantern filming, and I got to see a whole bunch of things in connection with the movie. In all honesty, I was completely blown away. I don't think it dawned on me how huge this movie would be until I went down to New Orleans and really saw everything that I saw. It was incredibly eye-opening. I was really rendered speechless. There's just no way for me to put it to words, just how huge this movie is going to be."
We'll continue to keep you posted with any further details on Green Lantern, Green Lantern 2 and The Flash as soon as we have more information.

I think Rosenbaum would be a great Flash, but I doubt DC will give him a chance, considering that he is not a household name(unless you're a Smallville fan). I do agree with Fallen about Rosenbaum as Luthor, especially if Welling is given the opportunity to take his version of Clark Kent to the big screen. It would be weird to see Rosenbaum antagonizing another actor in this role.

The Narrator: The Better Man
I always thought Micheal Rosenbaum would be good Barry Allen, and I know he's a fan of The Flash, but I am still holding out for him to star as Lex in the superman reboot. He is the quintessential Lex (celluloid wise).
As for GL, I hope that last paragraph holds true. I really want this film to work. *fingers crossed*

@Ridgl Possibly, but who knows. They must be incredibly confident this will be a success, planning that far ahead.

Whoa! GL2 already? They're THAT confident people will like the first one? - and on top of that, it's a planned trilogy from the get go? That's how you make good movies! Plan ahead, don't rely on success before deciding 'the first made money - let's make another!' :P
