The Worlds Finest was able to talk to Alan Burnett, writer of the Green Lantern: First Flight animated feature, for a statement on the feature’s nomination
“I was very grateful for everyone’s work on the film and how it turned out,” says Burnett. “Lauren Montgomery and her team visualized a whole new and quite extensive universe, which is no small feat considering the constraints of DVD production.”
When asked if he would consider writing a follow-up for Green Lantern: First Flight, Burnett seemed fond of the idea.
“Of course I would love to return to Oa,” exclaims Burnett. “These days it seems to be the happenin’ place.”
