Reynolds: 'Lantern' will film in four months'

Ryan Reynolds has revealed that Green Lantern is to film at the beginning of next year.

The 32-year-old was cast as the superhero alter-ego of Hal Jordan in July. Production on the project is reportedly to move from Australia to the US, after the value of the Australian dollar climbed more than 16% in the past four months.

The X-Men Origins: Wolverine actor told chatshow host Jimmy Fallon that the movie will begin shooting in the upcoming months. He also admitted that he has been instructed not to divulge information about the film, MTV News reports.

"I'm four to five months away from beginning shooting," he said on the broadcast. "It's crazy, it's the only job I've ever had that I'm not allowed to really talk about.

"I think there's like a representative from Warner Brothers who I'm sure is following me around ready to blow-dart me if I say a single word. I probably have a chip in me somewhere, like if I start talking about it, I'll just pass away."

He added: "A lot of [the film] is sort of like a space epic and some of it is on planet Earth. [Green Lantern] has this ring and he's been chosen to have this power and the ring can kind of create anything that his will or his imagination can conjure up."

It was reported earlier that Reynolds would also reprise his Deadpool character from Wolverine in a spinoff film.
