Just remember something to. Even if a movie gets green-lit, it doesn't necessarily mean it will get made. Plenty of films get green-lit and even enter pre-production before they end up getting postponed indefinitely or cancelled altogether.
New Line greenlit a Lost in Space sequel back in 1998 with the entire cast signing on to return (Gary Oldman, William Hurt etc.). Here we are 11 years later and nothing's happened yet.
Marvel was able to get Iron Fist greenlit back in 2000 with Artisan entertainment. Here we are 9 years later and nothing.
Heck Godzilla was greenlit and entered pre-production in 1994 and look what happened. The only reason the film eventually got made 4 years later was because Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich agreed to do it, if they could do it their way. Had they not agreed to do the film, its doubtful Tristars Godzilla would have even seen the light of day.
The only way I'll get "excited" is when this film actually enters production (principal photgraphy).
Untill then I'm not going to sit in the pumpkin patch waiting for The Great Godzilla to show-up.
