Director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) has pulled in some very high caliber talent for his upcoming film The Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds.

The first movie to be made under Warner Bros.’ new DC Entertainment umbrella will be shot by cinematographer Dion Beebe, who won an Oscar for his work with Rob Marshall on Memoirs of a Geisha(having previously been nominated for Chicago). Even more exciting than that is who Campbell hired to help create the look and vision of the movie, production designer Grant Major and costume designer Ngila Dickson, both of whom won Oscars for their work on Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Major also fulfilled the same capacity on Jackson’s remake of King Kong.

Art director François Audouy may not have won any Oscars, but his resume working in genre movies is impressive, everything from doing concept art for James Cameron’s Avatar and I Am Legend, acting as art director for Watchmen and the first Transformers movie, and working in various art capacities on all three “Spider-Man” movies.

I have to say my hopes for this movie are growing with each new piece of information. These are some talented people he’s pulling in for the ever-so-important visuals on this picture. We should start hearing about further casting soon!
