Taika Waititi has joined the cast of Green Lantern. Waititi’s casting means he will not be in Auckland to attend the New Zealand premiere of his feature film Boy on Wednesday 24th March.
Green Lantern is directed by ex-Hastings boy Martin Campbell (Edge of Darkness, Casino Royale, Vertical Limit). Before he left to start his new job, Waititi said, “I really wanted to be in Auckland for the NZ premiere, but to be offered this role is a great opportunity to pretend I’m an actor and pursue my dream of becoming the next Cliff Curtis.
