View Full Version : Green Lantern Casting Call Reveals Supporting Characters
I love a good casting notice, meaning those that give away hitherto secrets of plot or dramatis personae. While we know that a Green Lantern picture is currently in preproduction, with Ryan Reynolds locked in to take the lead role, we didn’t know which other characters we could expect. I’ll put the info after the break, in case you are particularly sensitive to even the mildest of spoiling, but now we know at least which DC-universe villain - or villains? - it is that he’ll be facing off against, and which other key characters from the comics will be showing up.
The idea of including multiple villains in a comic book movie really seems to rankle some folks, so if you’re one of those, look away now, move along, find another picture to look forward to. According to the casting requirements uncovered by Spoiler TV, Martin Campbell and colleagues are looking to cast a pair of baddies:
[DR. HECTOR HAMMOND]
27-35, Character actor who is austere and impersonal, he is real “scummy.” He is a pathologist and also the son of a Senator.
[SINESTRO]
Mid-30s to Mid-40s, he is smart, tough, intimidating and in great physical shape.
If this is just an origin movie it’s possible that Sinestro won’t mutate from being our hero Hal Jordan’s mentor into the bad sort he quickly became, but I’m prepared to bet that switcheroo is key to the story - see Jeff Bridges’ role in Iron Man, I suppose.

Green Lantern Spoilers From Rob Liefield!
In an exclusive interview with Nukethefridge.com, Liefield(creator of Deadpool) revealed some very interesting things about Martin Campbell's upcoming Green Lantern adaptation...
What does Rob Liefield, the man behind Deadpool, Cable and some of the most lambasted artwork in comic history have to do with the big screen Green Lantern movie? Well, apparently he is very close to the production because he is good friends with the FX supervisors.
When Nukethefridge caught up with him over the weekend at the Frank And Son Collectible Show, Liefield revealed that...
"He has seen most of the storyboards for the Green Lantern film and he claims that it looks fantastic. He said that if they could translate what is on the storyboards to film, the movie would be amazing.Over one-third of the movie is set on OA, the home world of the Green Lanterns. The film will have numerous Green Lanterns, including fan favorite Kilowag/FONT> and Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) mentor turned archenemy, Sinestro."
If this turns out to be accurate, how cool is it that the movie will be set predominantly in space! I was worried that they may try to ground the very Sci Fi orientated GL comics on Earth for the most part. It also means that we will indeed be seeing fan favorite Kilowog:)
Green Lantern Moving To Mexico!?
From Australia to New Orleans, to Mexico, the Green Lantern has already made his international rounds. Where will the movie be filmed?
Green Lantern was set to begin filming this year in November, however the deceit of the Australian government has delayed this film to start shooting early next year. Where you may ask? This from Insidifilm.com:
"Warner Bros is understood to be preparing to shift its Green Lantern production to Mexico from Australia, where the booming currency has blown out costs."
Why did I say deceit? Because the Australian government says to Warner Bros: hey take a trip to the land down under mate. Where filming movies will cost you less to make because of our awesome Government tax breaks we will give you." Then once Warner Bros gets there the first thing that is handed to them is a fat bill noting the inflated currency rate, making the production in Australia no longer profitable and forcing Warner Brothers to scout filming locations elsewhere. Next up Mexico.
First The Green Lantern was filming in Australia, then it was rumored to be filming in Louisiana, and now Mexico? Well, if they are trying to beat the currency exchange rate issue, Mexico would be the place to go. I do know one thing, Green Lantern better get made. Australia is starting to remind me of what the Madden video game does to the star that is on the cover, cripple them. Justice League started in Australia and never got off the ground. No more Australia connections. I want Green Lantern filming now!
Green Lantern Release Date Set
Superhero slug-fest: Green Lantern debuts right between Spider-Man 4 and The First Avenger: Captain America.
DC Comics' highly-anticipated live-action adaptation of its popular Green Lantern comic book is one step closer to becoming a reality with the establishment of a release date for the film. The Emerald Guardian will be soaring into theaters on June 17, 2011, placing it squarely in the heart of the summer movie-going season and directly between the releases of Sony's Spider-Man 4 in May and The First Avenger: Captain America in July.
Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) directs, with Ryan Reynolds (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) starring as the most popular Green Lantern, Hal "Highball" Jordan. There are no other cast announcements as of this time. It is rumored that Sinestro, once a Green Lantern like Hal Jordan, will feature as the prominent villain of the movie, but there is no confirmation of this.
Green Lantern Officially Moves out of Australia
I thought the fact that Martin Campbell’s Green Lantern would not shoot in Australia was more or less understood at this point. All indications have pointed in that direction for a while. Regardless, now we know for certain that the film will shoot elsewhere, as the US dollar has weakened to the point where the location is no longer feasible. Sorry, OZ! At least you can ride the Where the Wild Things Are wave this weekend. See what a strong economy does for you?
THR reports the pullout and says the production will likely move to Mexico (which seems likeliest right now) or Canada. Warner Bros. says that “the current global economic situation, including fluctuations in currency valuation and overall costs” is to blame for the move. Which is just a suit’s parsing of the fact that the Australian dollar hit an almost 30-year high against the US dollar today, and is forecast to possibly exceed the USD’s value by the end of the year.
Superman to make appearance in Green Lantern film?
If so, who should be cast for the role?
Harry over at Ain't It Cool News is reporting that a "reliable" source of his says that there will be a Superman cameo in the upcoming Green Lantern film! Personally, I'm hoping it will be Tom Welling from Smallville to be cast as The Man Of Steel!
Jackie Earle Harley is Sinestro in "Green Lantern" Film?
The actor who brought Rorschach to life in "Watchmen" is rumored to be the front-runner as the villain in the Green Lantern film
According to "Ain't it Cool" news, the actor who fans praised for his performance as Rorschach in Zack Snyder's "Watchmen", is rumored to be the lead in portraying the villain Sinestro in "Green Lantern."
The site also reports that, Superman is potentially making a cameo in the superhero film.
If both of these turn out to be true, DC seems to be taking a page from the Marvel universe by connecting characters from different comic books in feature films.
Supposedly, the rumor was passed down from a reliable source working on the film.
Green Lantern, to be directed by Martin Campbell and starring Ryan Reynolds, is targeting a June 17, 2011 release date.
Whispers68: Sinestro is nearly 6'2 and Jackie is 5'5...hmmm. This will definitely get die hard fans a bit bothered but that's life. I didn't make this up...it's posted on two sites. Two rather well respected sites. I'm not posting to impress my girlfriend, dad or cousins. If the rumor turns out to be untrue, we can cough it up like any other casting rumors that turn out to be incorrect information.
Jackie Earle Haley on Sinestro Rumor
Jackie Earle Haley talks about the rumor and reveals if it is true or not.
Just yesterday AICN learned that Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen, Nightmare on Elm Street) is at the top of the list to play the villain Sinestro in the upcoming "Green Lantern" movie.
Collider caught up with Haley on the red carpet of Spike TV's 2009 Scream Awards and asked if there is any truth to the rumor. "I was very shocked to hear that. I heard about it the same way you did," said Haley, adding that nobody has called him to come in for an audition.
AICN never said that Haley was cast, but simply that the studio is creating their wishlist that has Haley at the top.
Even though Haley denied being cast as Sinestro, he refused to confirm that he will not be in "Green Lantern." "I don't know anything about it yet," he said. "If something comes up, I'll let you know."
Ozy:Well Im kind of glad, he doesnt look like Sinestro at all to me!
Green Lantern Rumors Examined
So here's the lowdown on what's happening with the Emerald Knight.
Here is the recent rumor roundup:
1. No confirmation yet if Haley is up for the role of Sinestro
2. Sinestro is not the main villain in the GL movie, he is Hal's mentor(much like in the comics) though there are hints of his dark nature. I think him being the big bad will be reserved for the sequels.
3. Superman's cameo might not be in costume. Possible *spoiler* The ring in choosing a new wielder passes by the Daily Planet and hesitates on an eyeglass wearing reporter.
4. Another possible *spoiler* the ring then will encircle several times on Guy Gardner(who we all fans know is another Green Lantern in the comics). A suitable actor is being considered because of a possible bigger part on an upcoming sequel
Will Green Lantern Lead to a Justice League Movie?
More news on where the movie may be filmed as well as big news on DC's plans for a Justice League movie!
According to The Times-Picayune, 'Green Lantern' may have moved production and filming to New Orleans, Louisiana. The manager of studio operations at the New Orleans-based Second Line Stages reported that producers for the superhero movie have contacted him about the studio space, and that "'Green Lantern' production offices could be set up in town as early as this week."
However, there was even bigger news hidden within the article as it was revealed that DC may still have big plans for a Justice League movie!
Near the article's end, 'Green Lantern' is mentioned as "the first in a trilogy of films focusing on DC's Justice League heroes—the others being 'The Flash' and 'Wonder Woman'—before uniting all three with fellow League members Batman, Superman, and Aquaman for a Justice League movie."
Director Martin Campbell Talks Green Lantern Special Effects
The director of the Green Lantern movie adaptation said they have their work cut out in bringing the comic book to magical life.
Director Martin Campbell said to Empire:
"It's daunting, Just the process, something like 1,300 visual effects shots, it's mind-blowing, quite honestly. A lot of the special effects shots work will concentrate on the Green Lantern's power ring. It's energized by a battery on the planet of Oa, which taps into the willpower of everyone in the universe. From that ring you can form constructs. So if you got into a fight, you could form a giant fist. Or a fighter plane."
LEEE777 - So they are going to put a heck of a lot of special effects and budget on the Green Lantern ring effects. Well that can only be good news for the project as it's got to look believable and amazing to Joe public. It will be tricky indeed. If they pull it off, it may be the biggest thing since "Star Wars." Fingers crossed, i personally have high hope for this movie and still cant believe it's actually going to be made!
Hal Jordan is confirmed to be played by Ryan Reynolds so far and no other casting news as yet.
Release date is June 17th 2011 of next year from Warner Brothers.
Green Lantern's Director Explains How They'll Make The Magical Rings Realistic
How does one make the flying space cop believable? According to Green Lantern's director it's going to take over 1,300 visual effects shots just to power up that ring.
While Ryan Reynolds gets into shape for his superhero role as Hal Jordan, the film's director explains to Empire Magazine just how much work it's going to take to make this world a reality.
"It's daunting. Just the process, something like 1,300 visual effects shots, it's mind-blowing, quite honestly...It's energised by a battery on the planet of Oa, which taps into the willpower of everyone in the universe..."From that ring you can form constructs. So if you got into a fight, you could form a giant fist. Or a fighter plane."But that's not all that's revealed, apparently the concept art from months back is spot on, and we'll get to see the Green Lantern travel through space.
"He's the only superhero to my knowledge who regularly goes to another planet. Superman and Batman were essentially locked into a particular city. The Lantern isn't so Earthbound."

Reynolds Says Green Lantern is Not a Labored Origin Story
MTV talked to Ryan Reynolds about starring in the Martin Campbell-directed comic book adaptation Green Lantern. He said that some of the best parts won't be of him in the suit.
"I think you walk away from this first film, and the moments that you remember and the moments that mean so much to you, not unlike 'Iron Man,' are the moments where the guy's not in the suit," he said.
Reynolds added that "It is [an origin story] to a certain degree, but it's not a labored origin story, where the movie [truly] begins in the third act... We find out Hal is the guy fairly early on, and the adventure begins."

Blake Lively Cast as Carol Ferris in Green Lantern
Hal Jordan's boss at Ferris Air, and future Star Sapphire, has been cast in Martin Campbell's Green Lantern
Blake Lively will play Carol Ferris, the female lead opposite Green Lanternplayed by Ryan Reynolds. Ferris runs her an aerospace company that hires the cocky test pilot Hal Jordan, the alter ego of Green Lantern (Reynolds).
Shooting for the big-budget film starts in March, using Louisiana as its location. Film will be released 17 June 2011.
Blake Lively is represented by CAA and Untitled Entertainment
Peter Sarsgaard May Fight Green Lantern
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/peter-sarsgaard.jpg
If you want to take a character like Green Lantern, who in the public eye is decidedly second-string, and make a giant Iron Man-sized success out of him, you’ve got to have a cast that can make the material sing. So far Warner Bros. is doing well by hiring Ryan Reynolds to play Hal Jordan / Green Lantern and Blake Lively to play Carol Ferris, but that doesn’t quite stack up against nabbing Robert Downey, Jr. for Iron Man.
But WB and director Martin Campbell may have made the perfect move here by grabbing Peter Sarsgaard to play the film’s villain. And no, he’s not been cast as Sinestro.
THR’s Heat Vision blog reports that Sarsgaard is in talks to play Dr. Hector Hammond, “the pathologist son of a senator who is seen as a disappointment in his father’s eyes” and eventually develops powers of his own after contact with a meteor. Those powers include mind reading and mind control, depending on the version of Hammond in question. This is sounding like WB is hewing close to the Geoff Johns version of Green Lantern’s origin. Here’s the WikiPedia synopsis of Hammond as he appears in that story (possible spoilers inside):
[Hammond] claims to be Carol Ferris’ boyfriend. However, it is revealed that he is just a private consultant for Ferris Aircraft and that they had gone out to dinner, according to Carol, “on business”. While inspecting Abin Sur’s crashed aircraft, Hammond is affected by the meteorite fragment in its reactor. This leads to his brain growing bigger, and able to read minds, including Carol Ferris and Hal Jordan who Hammond deduces is the Green Lantern. His mental powers keep Hal from using his ring, and is only stopped when Sinestro encases his head in an energy bubble, cutting off his air supply.
With respect to Sarsgaard, this should be fantastic casting. The actor is incredibly versatile and can carry across all the requisite emotions for a great villain. He can be slyly secretive, jealously wounded, righteously angry and far more, all with utter art and the ability to convince. I’m imagining his turn in An Education amped up to superhero levels, and can’t wait to see it.

Contains mostly the same info yes. Quoted from another source just to hit it home for authenticity.
Jackie Earle Haley Still Said to be a Contender for Green Lantern’s Sinestro
The other day when Peter Sarsgaard was cast as Hector Hammond, the primary villain in Green Lantern, a few evidently took this as implicit confirmation that classic Green Lantern baddie Sinestro is not in the film. That isn’t the case, and HitFix has a great rundown on what role the eventually villainous Sinestro plays in the film, and in the series overall should the first film be successful enough to warrant another.
Drew’s piece is good, and kicks off with one point: that while he’s denied doing any screentests, Warner Bros. is keen to cast Jackie Earle Haley as Sinestro. As Drew says, “The groundwork is being laid in the first Lantern for a much larger role for Sinestro later on if this first movie does well, and they like the idea of continuing their relationship with Haley.”
And what of the character? Those familiar with various Green Lantern origin stories know that Sinestro isn’t a bad guy at the outset. He’s another member of the Green Lantern Corps (intergalactic peacekeepers, basically) whose methods are a bit more totalitarian than most. Eventually he becomes an antagonist.
Furthermore, Drew makes the film sound as if it could be packed with characters — “damn near continuity porn for comic fans,” he says. So Hector Hammond (Sarsgaard) is a primary villain, but there’s more. Ryan Reynolds‘ character Hal Jordan becomes Green Lantern after encountering a dying alien named Abin Sur, who was pursued to Earth by a foe named Legion — essentially an insectoid hive mind in a mechanical body. He’s in the film, and Drew hints at “another major villain” as well.
So there’s a lot to do. Which means that we may not see much of Sinestro in the movie, but as things stand now he’s evidently a part of the recipe. Better to set him up now, get the origin out of the way and then be able to go into a full-on Green Lantern / Sinestro conflict in another film.
Green Lantern Director Confirms Sinestro, Kilowog and More!
Not only that, but he names the actor currently in negotiations to play the pink-skinned, mustached baddie. Follow the jump to learn more. . .
It's just been reported that Jackie Earle Haley is in fact NOT being considered for the role of Hal Jordan's mentor-turned-villain Sinestro. The man who has officially debunked the rumor is none other than Green Lantern director Martin Campbell:
"No, that's completely wrong," said Campbell to MTV News. "In fact, we're in negotiations with Mark Strong to play Sinestro. He's not only a wonderful actor, but he looks like Sinestro. If you look up old pictures of Sinestro, he's very like him. The Jackie Earle Haley thing, somebody told me about it this morning; I had never heard it before in my life."ark Strong was most recently seen playing the role of Lord Blackwood in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, for which a sequel is now in the works. If the negotiations pan out, Strong will have two big studio franchises to his name.
Campbell didn't stop there. When asked what other familiar faces we should expect to see in the film, he replied:
"Well, Kilowag will be [there]. Tomar-Re is in it. Sinestro is in it. Abin Sur is in it. All the origin people. Carol [Ferris], of course, who will be played by Blake Lively. All the main characters are there, and it's a complex story. The origin story of Green Lantern is complex, probably one of the most complex, which makes it a challenge to get it right."
Green Lantern, DC's next superhero film, stars Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, with Peter Sarsgaard in negotiations to join the cast. The film is slated release on June 17th, 2011.
Sinestro May Not Be A Villain In Green Lantern
Is it possible that Sinestro will not be revealed as a villain in the first Green Lantern movie?
SuperHeroHype recently talked with Green Lantern director Martin Cambell, who had something very interesting to say about the upcoming Green Lantern movie.
"I think it will stick closely to the origin story, but we all know Sinestro, for an example, is a character who goes over to the dark side, and of course, Carol, played by Blake Lively, in later versions becomes a bad guy as well. I think people will be able to see forward to the characters that in the comic went on to (become bad guys)… but people will be ahead of us on all that I think."
Does this mean we will not see Sinestro convert to the "dark side" in the first movie? Maybe it will adhere to the comics and reserve Sinestro's villainy for a later movie.
Martin Campbell: Green Lantern will have "Flash Gordon Elements"
Martin Cambell speaks briefly about his first superhero movie.
"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight..." Martin Campbellreciting the Green Lantern'soath. Showing off that he has some DC creds.
The Director will start shooting the much anticipated movie in two months. Having his Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds, the love interest in Blake Lively, Hector Hammond the villain for this piece with Peter Sarsgaard, and there are talks to have Mark Strong as Mentor turn Nemesis - Sinestro. They will have their primary location in New Orleans.
"It's a departure for me, I've never done a super hero before," said Campbell.
"What I like about this hero and this story is it's all about will power," Campbell said. "It's also about fear and about courage. It's not just a spandex suit movie. He doesn't just put on the suit and fly off and face evil kryptonite and all that."
Martin Campbell was intrigued on the aspect of the story which is about an intergalactic cop reporting to powerful masters on a distant planet.
"There is a Flash Gordon element to it, this is a superhero who goes to another planet and that's different than the rest," Campbell said. "That opens up a lot of interesting options."

Isn't Sinestro like the iconic Green Lantern villain?
Isn't Sinestro like the iconic Green Lantern villain?
Yep, but he wasn't always a bad guy, sounds like there will be some evolution in the character to turn him bad
Martin Campbell Says Green Lantern Won't Be A 'Cheesefest'
The director is hard at work to keep a certain amount of realism to the film.
Martin Campbell has been making the rounds on interviews for his new film Edge of Darkness starring Mel Gibson. He has been giving us bits of information on next year's Green Lantern as well. In a recent interview with Sci Fi Wire, the filmmaker relayed his test for a superhero:
"I think the thing to do is keep a sense of reality about it. Any time we talk about it, we sit in meetings, we have a cheese meter. We talk about de-cheesing any scene. So it's quite funny. We've all sort of got a sort of cheese meter where that becomes our sort of yardstick in terms of keeping it, giving it some sense of reality."
"So often in these superhero movies, nobody seems to get hurt. I remember seeing Wolverine, and he picks people up and hurls them 100 yards into a brick wall. These people, apparently unhurt, sort of get up and continue to fight just as strongly as they did before. Well, there's something absurd about that, in my opinion." Campbell was set to film a remake of The Birds originally done by Alfred Hitchcock but opted for Green Lantern instead. He also hinted that a trilogy could be in the works: "Well, it's like Sam Raimi on Spider-Man, isn't it?"
One of the trickiest parts of GL will be showing off the ability of his power ring: "Well, of course it's willpower drives the rings and forms the constructs via the ring." "I think he's the only superhero that does that."
It also appears that Peter Saarsgaard is not completely on board yet. "I think he's contracted," Campbell said. "I'm not sure if negotiations have been complete, but he's absolutely who we want."
UPDATE #1: In a recent interview with Collider.com, Campbell discusses the tone of the film -
“It will be much more in the tone of Iron Man. It’s got to be. Certainly not Batman Begins, which is a pretty dark movie. No, he’s the Hal Jordan character who’s the sort of shoot from the hip, irresponsible kind of cocky test pilot if you will. In fact, the character seems to be the least likely to be chosen as Green Lantern. Well, of course that’s the fun of it. So no, it’ll be much more like Iron Man. So it’ll have one foot in reality if you see what I mean.”
UPDATE #2: More info from Campbell about both Sinestro and Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire's turn to the 'dark side':
"I think it will stick closely to the origin story, but we all know Sinestro, for an example, is a character who goes over to the dark side, and of course, Carol, played by Blake Lively, in later versions becomes a bad guy as well, I think people will be able to see forward to the characters that in the comic went on to [become bad guys] ... but people will be ahead of us on all that I think."
Sinestro Actor Confirmed!!!
It's not Jackie Earle Haley either. Director Martin Campbell tells us who will play The Green Lantern's arch villain!!!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/sinestro.jpg
Director Martin Campbell has recently revealed to IGN that Sinestro will be played by none other then Mark Strong, the main villain in 'Sherlock Holmes'. And I thought that Jackie Earle Haley was a lock? Oh well, guess not.
Martin answered a few Sinestro plot point questions:
"He is very much like in the origin version of the comic," said the director. "Yes, Sinestro is a mentor, but Tomar-Re becomes a mentor in some ways, and Sinestro goes over to the dark side."
Cool, sounds like they are at least trying to stick to the source material. It's to bad that Jackie Earle Haley doesnt get the 'Sinestro' opportunity. I think he looks a tad more like Sinestro then Mark Strong. What are you going to do?
Director Martin Campbell Talks Green Lantern
Directing the film most likely to take the top spot away from Avatar, director Martin Campbell took some time away from promoting Edge of Darkness to talk Green Lantern.
The fine people over at Comic Soon have managed to get a great interview with director Martin Campbell. A lot of the interview is to do with the upcoming movie Edge of Darkness, a movie adapted from a six-hour BBC mini-series that Campbell directed back in 1985. The movie will star Mel Gibson, who will star as Thomas Craven, a Boston police detective.
However we’re interested in Campbell’s next project, the Green Lanternmovie. Make sure to check out the whole interview via the link below, but here’s a little snippet to whet your appetite.
“...he's quite fascinating as a character, given that his powers are psychological, it's to do with will power as you probably know, and his enemy is fear. All that's interesting and he's the only superhero to go to another planet, which is very unusual.”
Campbell is talking the basics, letting us know it’s an origin story about Hal Jordan, one of five human Green Lanterns that have appeared over the past 60 years. Sure, some people may not know, but we do, right?
As for whether the movie will include any leads towards a future Justice League movie?
“No, I think it will stick closely to the origin story, but of course, we all know that Sinestro for example is a character who goes over to the Dark Side, and of course, we have Carol. She'll be played by Blake Lively. I think people will be able to see forward in the characters, that in the comic went on to become... in Sinestro's case, he goes over to the Dark Side and indeed Carol in later versions becomes a bad guy as well.”
So check out the whole interview for more information, including mention of Blackest Night.
Martin Campbell On How Much Of Green Lantern Will Be Set In Space!
It's a certainty that the movie will spend some time amongst the stars, but just how much otherworldly screen time we'll see remains up in the air..
While the Edge of Darkness director didn't have an exact percentage of the balance between space and earthbound events, Martin Campbell told MTV News that fans shouldnt worry as there will be plenty of action spent outside of Earth's orbit.

Possible Green Lantern Concept Art of Kilowog
Is this our first look at the Green Lantern's renown drill instructor?
So there I was, going back and forth via email with an artist I made contact with on LinkedIn. The discussion turned to the upcoming film Green Lantern. After the usual banter (Ryan Reynolds playing every comic character, Blake Lively's hotness, etc.) he mentioned how excited he was that Francois Audouy is working on the project since he met him while working on Avatar. Here's the kicker. . . When I asked if he, personally, has anything to with Green Lantern he said "No" but attached the following pics to the email:

Sony Pictures Imageworks, whose credits include Watchmen, Superman Returns and the Spider-Man films, has signed on as the lead visual effects studio for Martin Campbell's superhero space adventure Green Lantern.
The VFX supervisors for the project are Karen Goulekas (Spider-Man, 10,000 BC) and Kent Houston (Push, Casino Royale). Jim Berney (I Am Legend, Lord of the Rings) will be VFX supervisor for Imageworks. Green Lantern reunites Houston with director Martin Campbell, who worked together on Edge of Darkness.
If Green Lantern is to live up to the expectations director Martin Campbell has set so far, the effects team has their work cut out for them. The film will showcase a vast number of alien races and a large portion is set to take place in outer space. More importantly, the most dynamic visual aspect in the film will be the 'constructs' created by the Green Lanterns' rings. Ifthe effects are not executed flawlessly, the film runs the risk of becoming a big budget cartoon.
More from Director Martin Campbell on Green Lantern
While promoting his new film, Edge of Darkness, director Martin Campbell discussed some of the Green Lantern movie rumors!
Director Martin Campbell has been making headlines on an almost daily basis, and it's not for his new film Edge of Darkness, starring Mel Gibson. Campbell has been speaking quite a bit about one of fandom's most highly-anticipated comic book movies: Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds.
Rebecca Murray of About.com recently caught up with Campbell and asked him about some of the rumored characters and plot details that have been circulating about Green Lantern.
Many believe that there will be two (or more) villains facing off against Hal Jordan/Green Lantern--Hector Hammond and Sinestro--but Campbell said that's not true:
"No, no, no, no, no. Don't listen to that nonsense."
And, when pressed about the plot, Campbell referred back to an earlier statement that he made about the Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn mini-series:
"Well, I'll tell you what. Get the origin story, read that, and you'll be pretty much on target. Well, you know, it varies slightly. But [the movie is] pretty much the origin story of Green Lantern."
Besides Reynolds, the only other Green Lantern cast member confirmed at this time is Blake Lively in the role of Carol Ferris, Hal's boss and love interest. Campbell has said that he is in negotiations with Mark Strong (Lord Blackwood in Sherlock Holmes) for the role of Sinestro, and Peter Sarsgaard is supposedly in talks to play the villainous Dr. Hector Hammond.

For those not familiar with Green Lantern lore, the Guardians of the Universe are the immortal founders and leaders of the Green Lantern Corps. They administrate their duty from their homeworld of Oa, located at the center of the universe. The appear as short, elderly males with blue-skin, large heads and white hair.
Green Lantern Crew Hard at Work in New Orleans
The Green Lantern production crews are gearing up for a mid-March shoot!
This just in from the Nola website, which provides updates on New Orleans movie production status especially where Green Lantern is ready to film, the Green Lantern production crews are building the sets!
"The Green Lantern" producer Lucienne Papon, who's in town gearing up for shooting to start in mid-March on the eagerly awaited superhero, film said her 2-year-old son has of late been sporting a "Who Dat" shirt."
Supposedly they are having quite a blast with the superbowl matchup between the Saints and the Colts.
Mike Scott, who wrote the article on the website went on:
"The D.C. Comics-inspired "Green Lantern" -- backed by Warner Bros. and among the biggest projects to shoot here since "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in late 2006 and early 2007 -- doesn't start shooting until mid-March, with Ryan Reynolds in the title role. But an estimated 200 people are hard at work on pre-production endeavors, such as set construction."
Producer Lucienne Papon revealed that "Monday will definitely be a work day for The Green Lantern. Our work is definitely not canceled Monday. We're five weeks out of shooting -- we're working fast and furious. But I think all of us will be cheering as loudly as possible Sunday night."
So both fans and and the production crew will rejoice as we know that the Green Lantern will be seeing the light of Hollywood in no time and the superbowl will commence.

Tim Robbins Cast in Green Lantern
Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption, Mystic River, The Player) has been cast in Martin Campbell’s big screen adaptation of the DC Comics superhero Green Lantern.
According to Heat Vision, Robbins will play Senator Hammond, a former astronaut and the disapproving father of the movie’s villain, Dr. Hector Hammond (played by Peter Sarsgaard). The doctor comes in contact with a meteor and becomes infused with psychic powers, genius level intellect, and telekinetic abilities. As far as I can tell, Robbins’ character was not featured in the comic series, and is a creation for the film adaptation (and from what I understand, nbot a large role in the movie). I’m sure one of our comic experts will weigh in. At very least, the character was not a sizable role in the mythology.
The rest of the announced cast thus far includes Ryan Reynolds as the title character, Green Lantern, and Blake Lively as his love interest, Carol Ferris. Green Lantern is set to begin shooting in New Orleans this March, with the film scheduled to hi theaters on June 17th 2011.
Peter Sarsgaard Discusses His Green Lantern Role
The actor talks briefly about working with Tim Robbins and his characters comics and film transition.
SuperHeroHype attended the Cinema Vanguard Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Friday night and talked to both Sarsgaard amd Christoph Waltz about their upcoming roles as the villains in both Green Lantern and Green Hornet..
When they caught up with Sarsgaard they quizzed him about playing villain Dr. Hector Hammond in the Martin Campbell-directed Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Hammond is a pathologist who becomes infused with psychic powers when he discovers a meteor.
Peter Sarsgaard confirmed that Green Lantern shooting will start in March.
When asked if his character will look similar to the Hector Hammond in comics. He action-ed zipping his mouth.
Then said this "I don't know,"but added "[it's]going to be fantastic."
Sarsgaard Reveals More About Green Lantern
The actor set to portray the villainous telepath Hector Hammond briefly discusses his excitement for the upcoming film.
SciFiWire caught up with Peter Sarsgaard at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where they asked how he feels about his first comic movie project:
"It's something completely different for me and something that I've not done before. I imagine that if I'd done 10 of them I wouldn't be as excited as I am, but it's not the kind of thing that I normally do. It feels expansive to me. It feels like shackles being taken off instead of being put on. I just feel like I can do anything with this role."
Hammond was never considered one of Hal Jordan's A-list villains, and many comic fans are still wondering if the character will be center stage in the film. Hammond's most infamous trait is his enlarged head; does Sarsgaard know if that physical aspect will be included in the film?
"I can't really talk much about it, because we have to protect it, but it's a very, very fun role, and I just don't get the opportunity to play a role that is so expansive and delicious—and it really is!"
The actor goes on the say that, though he wasn't familiar with the villain's comic history, he wasn't taken aback when he first saw the original incarnation. "No, I think it's awesome!"
Geoff Johns Tweets Confirmation that Mark Strong Will Be Sinestro
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/strong-sinestro.png
Regular Green Lantern comics scribe Geoff Johns has today tweeted about his trip to “Green Lantern town a.k.a. New Orleans!!”. According to his first tweet “Ryan IS Hal. And Mark Strong is going to be a brilliant Sinestro” and according to his second, “Kilowog, the Guardians, Oa…all breathtaking. The age of Green Lantern is upon us!!”
So, we’ve learned that he’s fond of double exclamation marks, even when operating under a 140 character limit, and that Mark Strong has indeed taken the role of Sinestro. Back on January 15th he was “in talks”.
Sinestro, if you’re not aware, is a Green Lantern corps. instructor turned nemesis of Hal Jordan. the story’s hero. It’s the sort of thing Strong could do in his sleep.
The Green Lantern's official magazine for the Ferris airbase?
ohn Keller of the Military and Aerospace Electronics Blog Magazine has been contacted by the Green Lantern crew to use their magazines for the (Ferris) airbase.
According to John Keller, who wrote the article, he was contacted by the Green Lantern crew to use the Magazine for the Ferris airbase. The magazine may be used to promote the airplanes and other airforce parts for Carol Ferris and her father.
John Keller:
"I know that Military & Aerospace Electronics is read by influential figures in and out of the aerospace and defense industry, but I never realized that our magazine also is the journal of choice for at least one superhero."
"It seems the Green Lantern, a test pilot who is granted a mystical green ring bestowing him with otherworldly powers, as well as membership in an intergalactic squadron tasked with keeping peace within the universe, also is among our subscribers."
"Military & Aerospace Electronics just might have a bit part in the movie."
"Production on the movie has begun, and set designers contacted me the other day asking for issues of the magazine. It's possible -- based on how the final movie is edited -- that issues of Military & Aerospace Electronics will be part of airport scenes in the Green Lantern movie."
Looks like Hal Jordan has been doing some reading. Filming should commence in a few days as March begins tomorrow!
Here is the cover of their magazine:

Green Lantern Begins Test Shooting
Louisiana road closures may hint at the inclusion of a controversial Hal Jordan/DUI scene in the film.
Principal photography is about to begin on Martin Campbell's superhero filmGreen Lantern, though little information has yet to be released. A recent update to NOLA's website points out a location that is being prepped for the movie:
"A section of Lake Road in Madisonville will be closed intermittently on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon, as a film crew prepares to shoot scenes for a movie.
Although filming for 'Green Lantern' has not yet begun, crews from Warner Brothers will be on location to run tests with a stunt car, according to Bill Doyle, supervising location manager.
The closure will be in the vicinity of the high bridge on Lake Road between Louisiana 22 and Lake Pontchartrain, according to news release from the state highway department."
With the information we've been given so far, it's not a stretch to assume where this scene could fit in. Those of you familiar with the series Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn, which the director has already stated is being used for the basis of the film, should remember this important scene: An angry (and drunk) Hal Jordan crashes his car while speeding on the highway; which
causes his best friend to become paralyzed.
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/ponyboyzero/scan0001.jpg
As apposed to all the other Green Lantern origin story arcs, Emerald Dawn showcases an extremely fallible Hal Jordan. He is depicted as a depressed and border-line cowardly person; who covers up his mistakes with excuses, anger and alcohol. It is a very realistic approach to the origins of a character that is usually shown as only haughty and brash.
What do you think? Is this test run proof that Campbell will attempt to bring one of the most controversial parts of Emerald Dawn to the big screen?
Taika Waititi and Temuera Morrison Cast in Green Lantern
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/lanternwaicasting.jpg
Green Lantern will begin filming on Monday (March 15th) in New Orleans (according to CBM they “will be shooting a bar scene at the Old Point Bar, 545 Patterson Drive, New Orleans during the day”). And as production begins to gear up, we have some last minute casting news from Heat Vision: Taika Waititi and Temuera Morrison have officially joined the cast.
Waititi is a comedian/actor/filmmaker, probably best known for directing Eagle vs. Shark, but he also was nominated for an Academy Award for his short film Two Cars, One Night. Morrison is best known as the actor who played Jango Fett in the Star Wars prequels.
Morrison is playing Abin Sur, a member of the Green Lantern Corps who crash lands on Earth, and recruits test pilot Hal Jordan to be the Green Lantern. Waititi will play Hal Jordan’s best friend Thomas Kalmuka, who in the comics was a young Inuit engineer at Ferris Aircraft (also the employer of Jordan) who was one of the few people who knew Hal Jordan’s secret, and kept a journal of Green Lantern’s adventures. According to Wikipedia, he served a similar role to Jimmy Olsen in the Superman comics, a non-costumed hero who in several stories he either assisted the hero, or required rescuing.
FIRST LOOK: Ryan Reynolds on the Set of the Green Lantern Movie!
CBM scooper "kenny" has snagged some photos from the first day of shooting the Green Lantern movie.
Here are some more pics from today. I heard they filmed only two bar scenes. Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Jay O. Sanders. Not many people showed up to watch. At the most there were 10 people at once. If I hear of any other locations, I will try to get on top of it.
And see what CBM editor MultiPurposePoni pointed out on the first pic!

Who is Nick Jones?
Exclusive Set Photo Update! And why is he in New Orleans on the set of Green Lantern? Follow the jump to see what I've found...
It is time, yet again, for some good old ComicBookMovie.com investigative work; or as I call it, Operation: Speculation. Let’s get the facts straight first:
- Martin Campbell’s Green Lantern began principal photography yesterday at a bar in New Orleans. Thanks to our own CBM scooper Kenny, we’ve seen the first set pictures of Ryan Reynolds /Hal Jordan possibly wearing his Green Lantern ring.
- There are only two bars referenced in Hal Jordan’s origin stories. One, in Emerald Dawn, shows Ferris Aircraft employee Hal sitting with coworkers having a few drinks. The second (and most recent), in Secret Origins, shows Air Force pilot Hal having a confrontation with a Marine by the name of John Stewart.
Now, on to the fun part. Nick Jones is a former Marine who is currently an actor and model. He has a yet to be disclosed role in the Green Lantern film. I’ve followed him on Twitter over the past few days, but only today made contact with him. Here are the relevant tweets for your viewing pleasure (read it bottom to top for chronological order):
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/ponyboyzero/nickjones.jpg
Can you see where I’m heading with this yet? Maybe I can make the association a bit clearer. . .
My educated guess is that Nick Jones' small role in Green Lantern is the Jon Stewart cameo fans have asked for.
John Stewart, an architect and Marine before joining the Green Lantern Corps, has been a fan favorite Lantern for many years and has been featured in several DC animated cartoons.
I now pose the question to you all; could Nick Jones be our feature film John Stewart? And if so, do you see Stewart having a larger role in the Green Lantern sequel? You know the drill, Confirm or Debunk below!

New Green Lantern Shooting Location & Hal Jordan Photo
If you live in the New Orleans area you won't want to miss this chance to scope out the latest Green Lantern hot spot; Plus, check out a badly beaten Ryan Reynolds photo op.
The cast and crew of DC's latest superhero film are moving indoors for their next shoot. Thanks to OnLocationLacations we now know that you can find them at New Orleans newest independent film studio Second Line Stages.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/9293L.JPG
The studio is located at 800 Richard Street, New Orleans, LA 70130. There's no word yet which (if not all) of the sound stages will be used exclusively for Green Lantern, but we do know the production will be there for most of the day on Monday, March 22nd.
Here's a look at the newly constructed facility, which spreads out over 37,000 square feet, courtesy of Second Line's website:
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/9292L.jpg
Thanks to a Ava Axen, we get a brief look at the film's star Ryan Reynolds in between takes. She also included this blurb with her photo:
"I was in New Orleans at Lucy’s Retired Surfer Bar on Tchoupitoulas and Girod, a couple of men were in there. One came over to ask us what to do on Saint Paddy’s Day and he had on a badge for The Green Lantern, he was an executive something another. I didn’t want to stare at his badge. LOL. They closed the bar down early because it was the bar manager’s birthday. So at about 1 AM we stumbled out of the bar and headed back down towards our hotel on Tchoupitoulas Street and we looked over to the right and there was the movie set. We stood outside with about five other people and in between re-setting the set for the action scene Ryan would come out and sign autographs and take pictures. It was definitely a great moment. He was super nice and laughed at a man who only had a 50.00 bill for him to sign. He laughed at that guy. We watched filming for about ten minutes before heading home because there was a light rain at the time."
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/9294L.jpg
As we reported the other day, the reason behind Ryan/Hal's badly beaten face can be attributed to an altercation between Hal Jordan and a group of bar patrons. Hal was out to dinner with Carol Ferris (Blake Lively) when he goes outside and is assaulted by several men. The skirmish activates his ring which knocks one of the assailants into a parked car with a giant fist construct.
The Green Lantern Movie Logo - What do you think of it?
As is always the case, Hollywood has felt it necessary to change the traditional comics version of the Green Lantern logo for a new movie version. Here's your chance to weigh in.

Angela Bassett Joins the Cast of Green Lantern
Follow the link the find out which mainstream DC Comics character she'll be playing.
Angela Bassett joins the cast of Warner Bros.' "Green Lantern" opposite Ryan Reynolds, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong. She will play Dr. Amanda Waller, a scientist who's a staple of the DC Comics series.

RUMOR: Has Green Lantern Found Their Guy Gardner?
Probably not, but according to IMDb an actor is already linked to the role. Follow the jump to see who it is.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/9681L.jpg
IMDb, the only movie site out there with more user submitted fan castings than CBM, has updated their Green Lantern movie page with a surprising addition.
Actor Eric Johnson is listed as being a rumored candidate to portray fan favorite Green Lantern Guy Gardner in the live action film. Johnson is most known for his role of Flash Gordon on the SyFy channel.
In comics mythology, Guy Gardner was one of three candidates selected to protect Space Sector 2814 in the Green Lantern Corps when Abin Sur crash landed on Earth and sent his ring to seek out a successor. Though just as worthy as Hal Jordan to wield the ring, he was further from Sur's crash site and therefore not chosen.

Jay O. Sanders is Carl Ferris in Green Lantern
Another cast member for Warner Bros. Green Lantern has been revealed to be the head of Ferris Air, and Hal Jordan's boss
Steven Roush, a journalist for Examiner.com, recently posted an article which discussed the impact Green Lantern has had on the Louisiana film industry.
In the following excerpt, he revealed what character Jay O. Sanders has been portraying in the film:
"I was honored to be used as a stand in for Jay O Sanders who is playing the role of Carl Ferris, owner of Ferris Air where Hal, Ryan Reynolds character and Blake Lively’s character, Carol Ferris are test pilots. I was very impressed with the studio but even more impressed with the dedication Ryan Reynolds has put into the character of Hal, aka. The Green Lantern. When I heard I was going to be on the set with Ryan Reynolds I was ecstatic to have the opportunity to watch the out takes we see on television first hand. Sadly their was no such thing, no funny business at all. Too bad for me, but excellent news for D.C. Comic Green Lantern fans. His dedication to the character will be well appreciated by the viewers. Living in Louisiana provides a chance that I will be able to see some out takes in person someday."
Sanders has over 30 years of Hollywood experience, including roles in JFK, The Day After Tomorrow and Revolutionary Road.
Carl Ferris is very closely connected to Hal Jordan's life in Green Lantern mythology. He was one of Hal's father Martin Jordan's closest friends in the Air Force; and later became his boss at Ferris Air where Martin Jordan wasa test pilot until his death. Carl is also Carol Ferris' father.
This set picture, posted on CBM several weeks ago, shows Sanders standing outside of the Broome's Bar set during the first day of filming. Ryan Reynolds (Hal Jordan) was also involved in the scene:
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/9144L.jpg
Though the film is only entering it's four week of production in New Orleans, LA, information has slowly been trickling in from both studio sources and on-set fans. The latest tidbit comes from DC's newest executive Geoff Johns, who spoke at length about his position with the comics conglomerate and the direction of his latest series.
Regarding the Green Lantern movie, Geoff Johns has has no qualms about letting eager fans in on several studio confirmations such as Mark Strong landing the role of Sinestro and the inclusion of the alien Lantern Salaak.
The veteran author was tight-lipped when asked about future DC movie properties like Flash, Wonder Woman and Justice League, but he did convey his satisfaction with the progress of Green Lantern:
“Ryan Reynolds is hilarious,” Johns told fans in attendance. “Mark Strong is going to be a totally bad-ass Sinestro."
"We’ve got Kilowog, we’ve got Tomar-Re, we’ve got Salaak, eight Green Lantern aliens, Oa’s there, the Guardians… It’s going to be cool."
Eight alien Lanterns? Once you account for Abin, Kilowog, Tomar, Sinestro and Salaak, that leaves three that have yet to be revealed. Knowing Johns, though, it won't be long before we find out exactly which ones were picked to ring sling alongside Hal Jordan.
Mark Strong Talks About Green Lantern's Sinestro
Follow the jump to see what Strong thinks about Sinestro's similarity to a cult classic icon, his role in the film and a special costume fitting that recently took place.
rian Truitt of USA Today recently caught up with veteran movie baddie Mark Strong at the Who's News event. Strong, who stars in the upcoming movies KICK-ASS, Robin Hood and John Carter of Mars will be heading to the New Orleans filming location of Martin Campbell's Green Lantern sometime in June after he wraps on the Carter set.
"For anybody who’s familiar with the Green Lantern and the origin story, the film closely follows the early comics. Sinestro starts out as Hal Jordan’s mentor, slightly suspicious and not sure of him because obviously Hal is the first human being who’s made into a Green Lantern. He’s certainly very strict and certainly unsure of the wisdom of Hal becoming a Green Lantern," explained Strong.
"He is a military guy but isn’t immediately bad. It’s the kind of person he is that lends himself to becoming bad over the course of the comics being written, but initially he’s quite a heroic figure."
Strong commented on Sinestro iconic look, which will closely resemble the character’s early DC Comics days,"That widow’s peak and thin mustache was for some reason originally based on David Niven, and Hal Jordan was based on Errol Flynn. In the ‘30s and ‘40s, [Niven and Flynn] shared an apartment together in Hollywood when they were making movies and they were great friends. Obviously at the time, whoever was doing the original comics must have looked at them as guys doing very well in the film industry, and based those characters on them. So I would like to do justice to the Sinestro that was conceived for the comic books."
Comic purists should he happy to know that the filmmakers are worried about even the most minute detail when it comes to putting these characters on the big screen. Strong was recently fitted for special Sinestro contact lenses that he will wear for the film.
Green Lantern is currently filming around New Orleans, LA; check out the latest location, which may feature a pivotal scene with Hal Jordan and Abin Sur,

Green Lantern Set Photo: Abin Sir’s Spaceship?
CBM has gotten their hands on a photo that appears to be from the Madisonville, LA set of Green Lantern.
The photo features a spaceship and some rubble. This could be our first look at Abin Sir’s spaceship that crash lands on earth. Fans of the comic book series know that Abin Sur is a member of the Green Lantern Corps who crash lands on Earth, and recruits test pilot Hal Jordan to be the Green Lantern. The role will be played by Temuera Morrison in the film adaptation.Of course, this is all just speculation at this point.
I have put the photo after the jump for those of you who would like to avoid such things. However, I’m 99% sure that the ship will be shown in the eventual trailer, as it is part of Green Lantern’s origin story.
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/zz76c80641.jpg
UPDATE April 7th, 1700: Mark Strong talks more about portraying Sinestro with Cinematical.com -
"Sinestro, yeah, he is a fascinating character. I love the fact that there is all of this source material. But really you have to just concentrate on what is in this particular film, and he is very well-drawn in this film and I know exactly what I want to do with him. I think they have an intention to make more than one, which is amazing because then you get to follow the trajectory that Sinestro has through the comics, and that I would really look forward to as well. But in the first one, he is a very powerful presence, and I think his whole thing, Sinestro, is that he's very confident and very convinced in his own rightness and so kind of almost militaristic in his precision about how things should be that he has this single-minded way of the way the world should be, and that's what I need to bring to the film.
Will Green Lantern’s Costume Look Like This?
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/zz2cf136ca-550x687.jpg
Exclusive: Green Lantern’s Suit Will Be Almost Entirely CG
Everyone is curious to see what Ryan Reynolds will look like in costume in the big screen adaptation of DC Comics’ Green Lantern. Production started earlier this month in New Orleans, and while the first set photos have begun to hit the web — don’t expect to see Reynolds in the green suit. Not today, not next week, not next month, not ever. So don’t expect to see any leaked shots of Reynolds in the actual suit until Warner Bros makes the official full reveal.
Why not?
Well, because there isn’t a suit.
No suit?
That’s right. No suit. When I was first told this info, I didn’t believe it. I actually didn’t even consider it as a real possibility. But the information I’m about to reveal has since been backed up by two other independent sources. I stand by this information 150% — this is legit. I risk my reputation on it. Ready for it? Okay…
The suit that Ryan wears on set is a grey tracking motion/performance capture suit with led lights. I’ve heard that Ryan Reynolds has been joking on set that Warner Bros is going to make him into a Na’vi when the final cut is released. His joke, not mine. The Green Lantern suit you will see in the final film will be almost entirely created using computers.
That’s right — Green Lantern’s suit will be mostly CG!
Wait, stop…
I said STOP. Comic book fanatics should not freak out just yet…
My source within Warner Bros assures me that the suit will look cool. Don’t let the words “Computer generated” scare you.
I must first remind you that Ngila Dickson, the costumer designer on the film has won an Academy Award for a little film called The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Maybe you’ve seen it before? Don’t let her Xena: Warrior Princess roots scare you, she worked on the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Last Samurai (another film which earned her an Oscar nomination), The Illusionist, Blood Diamond and The International. She has an impressive IMDB page, for sure.
Ngila was tasked with trying to find a way to do something that stands apart from all of the other superheroes spandex suit designs we’ve seen in the past. Honestly, isn’t the look becoming overused?
Remember, the Green Lantern suit is something that should look alien — it needs to seem other worldly. It encompasses any creature that wears the ring, and Hal Jordan is the first human to ever wear the suit. This was a chance for Dickson to do something different. You also have to consider that Hal changes into the suit multiple times in mid scene, and the cg also allows him to do this.
I’ve heard that when the cg is complete, the suit will look like a manifestation of his power. And while I couldn’t confirm this, I’ve heard that DC’s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns has seen the designs and given them his blessing.
The suit is lined with white LEDs, which I initially thought might be used to give a practical glow (kind of like how Billy Crudup wore blue LEDs to give the actors around Dr. Manhattan a blue glow in Watchmen), but I’ve since been told might just be for mo-cap tracking purposes.
Here is some other information I’ve learned about the production:
That leaked set photo of the silver ship is indeed Abin Sur’s crashed spaceship
Temura Morrison looks legit as Abin Sur, although his head isn’t as elongated as in the concept art photos leaked awhile back.
Peter Sarsgaard’s makeup tests with the enlarged head look cool. He has wild hair, kind of like Jason Lee in “My Name is Earl” and, of course, the kind of traditional Hector Hammond stache.
I’m told that Reynolds is awesome in the part. He’s knocking it out of the park so far.
The screenplay that leaked online is a very old draft. I’ve been told that the villains have changed a bit and that the rewritten script is supposedly way better in the end.
Geoff Johns Talks About Green Lantern's Abin Sur & Hal Jordan
The creative top dog at DC Entertainment has already seen footage of a famous scene for Martin Campbell's Green Lantern. Hint: It involves a spaceship crash and a ring on a mission...
During today's bi-monthly visit between Comic Book Resources and superstar writer Geoff Johns, the future of DC's cinematic universe was inevitably brought up. When asked how quickly he was planning on putting together a slate/time line of comic movies (in an effort to take the limelight away from Marvel, no less), Johns said,
"I can't get into the exact DC slate right now, but we're all working heavily on what that is with Warner Bros. and there will be news forthcoming. But, you can bet there is going to be a lot more than there is right now."
The Green Lantern movie, currently filming in New Orleans, LA, was the next topic briefly touched upon. Since Johns has already made a few set visits, he was asked what he thought of the overall progress of the film and his impression of Ryan Reynoldsas Hal Jordan:
"The movie looks fantastic. I'm heading back down to New Orleans in a few weeks, but I just watched the Abin Sur/Hal Jordan dailies, and it's amazing seeing that ring passed to Hal in live action. Abin Sur looks kick-ass."
[The first image of Abin Sur's ship was revealed here last week. The filming took place in Madisonville, LA between Monday, April 4th, and Thursday, April 8th.]
"They did such a great job. They've got Grant [Major] as a production designer. He's from 'Lord of the Rings,' and the visuals on this film are nothing like you could imagine. It's definitely a Green Lantern fan's dream. For me, it's kind of insane to see this stuff come to life.
"And Ryan Reynolds is a perfect Hal Jordan. He brings a lot of humor to it, but he also has the humanity that Hal has. And a little bit of the arrogance, so it's a great match. "
If Johns likes how the dallies are coming along, it may not be too far of a stretch to expect a teaser trailer put together exclusively for this year's San Diego Comic Con at the end of July.

Has More Green Lantern Concept Art Been Leaked Online?
Could these recently posted images be our first look at conceptual designs of the Green Lantern suit, the film's opening title and the ring constructs?
Months ago, the first Green Lantern concept art images showcasing aliens Kilowog, Abin Sur and Tomar-Re were leaked online. A week later, another image surfaced; this time of the Guardians of the Universe.
The Movie Insider, a subsidiary of CraveOnline.com, recently posted images on their Green Lantern movie page titled "Production Works." Though the images seem to be rather rudimentary when compared to the confirmed concept art listed above, they could very well be our first look at the Green Lantern movie title, the Lantern uniform and ring manifested constructs:

EXCLUSIVE: Green Lantern's Experimental Jet
Here's another look at the fighter jet Martin Jordan will pilot in DC's upcoming space adventure film Green Lantern
Several weeks ago, we brought you an exclusive first look at the YF-32 Experimental Jet plane that is being used for Martin Campbell's Green Lantern movie. The jet will be piloted by our hero's father, Martin Jordan (portrayed by Jon Tenney in the film), and will not only be the cause of his demise but the catalyst of Hal Jordan's lifelong struggle to concur fear.
It appears to be based off of the X-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and is roughly 2/3 scale. According to CBM scooper Dave, the jet was taken out of its hanger at New Orleans Lakefront Airport, which is being used as the Ferris Aircraft airfield set, for screen testing today:

Mark Strong Heading to Green Lantern Movie Set
Though his role in John Carter of Mars hasn't wrapped yet, the villainous actor is taking another break to prep for his role as Sinestro.
Production on Martin Campbell's Green Lantern hasn't slowed down since day one. The majority of the film's main cast, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Temuera Morrison, have been spotted filming scenes throughout the New Orleans, LA, area.
A few weeks ago, we learned that veteran comic book movie actor Mark Strong will head to the New Orleans set of Green Lantern this June to begin filming his scenes. Strong has been cast to portray Hal Jordan's Lantern Corps teammate and mentor Sinestro in the comic adaptation.
We also learned Sinestro will indeed have his famous widow’s peak and thin mustache in the film; also, Strong has already been fitted for "special Sinestro contact lenses."
Today, Londan based voice agency Another Tongue, which represents Mark Strong for voice casting, revealed that he will be taking a break from the John Carter set sooner than expected:
"MARK STRONG is heading over to New Orleans this month to do make-up tests for his role in "Green Lantern" as Sinestro."
There has been no word yet from the studio if Strong is the only actor being called down for make-up tests. Temuera Morrison who portrays Abin Sur, the alien predecessor to Hal Jordan, filmed his scene for the movie last month in Madisonville, LA. Hopefully, fans will soon get the information they've been waiting for: final casting decisions for the film's other Lanterns Kilowog, Tomar-Re and Salaak.

While out promoting the 30th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back at Walt Disney World, the actor shared info on his next iconic role.
If you are not already familiar; Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett from Star Wars) will be playing the role of Abin Sur who gives his ring (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/TheDogPound/news/?a=18448#) to Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) becoming the next Green Lantern. Speculation is that the powerful scene will be the one shown at this year's Comic-Conhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/TheDogPound/news/?a=18448#) in San Diego. Latino Review recently caught up with actor and got to ask a few questions. His first response was “Yeah I’m done filming” which only helps strengthen that theory.
http://ramascreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Temuera-Morrison-Abin-Sur.JPG
http://www.latinoreview.com/images/stories/conceptartabinsur.jpg
Temuera was gracious enough to show the reporter his Abin Sur character fully done from his cell phone. LR says it looks exactly like the concept art as shown here.
“That took about 4-5 hours to put on, it was all prosthetic.”
On working with Ryan Reynoldshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/TheDogPound/news/?a=18448#):
“We did the whole scene together were I give him the ring, our suits are CGI so we had these grey suits with things on them so it was cool...”
It also sounds like Abin Sur's back story will be part of the planned sequels as well:
“You know there are making sequels right?” Morrison said. “They want me to come back in the sequel. They want to show you my backend story for the next movie. They want to show you how I become part of Green Lantern Corps.”
DogsOfWar-I find it very good news that they are going with prosthetics for the facial features and not full blown CGI like the costumes.
EXCLUSIVE: Official Green Lantern Movie Synopsis Revealed
An online rumor about the film has been confirmed by ComicBookMovie; follow to jump to read the revamped plot for Warner Bros' superhero space adventure...
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/9221L.jpg
Rumors began circulating a few days ago that the official description of Martin Campbell's comic book adaptation, Green Lantern, had been released to several internet news outlets. The alleged source of this information was Allied Integrated Marketing (http://www.alliedim.com/), a company which handles promotions, publicity and advertising for many major movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18593#) studios; one of whom happen to be Warner Bros.
For various reasons, I was hesitant to relay this information until confirmation of it's validity could be ensured. Today, I was contacted by a member of Allied I.M. who not only forwarded me a copy of said press release, but was kind enough to confirm it's origin: "The following one-page was created and disseminated by our office on behalf of Time Warner."
Without further ado, here is the official synopsis for Green Lantern, which is scheduled to hit theaters on June 17th, 2011:
Green Lantern
'Bringing the enduringly popular superhero to the big screen for the first time, “Green Lantern” stars Ryan Reynolds (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, under the direction of Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”).
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/11613L.jpg In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
Campbell directs “Green Lantern” from a screenplay by Greg Berlanti & Michael Green & Marc Guggenheim and Michael Goldenberg, story by Greg Berlanti & Michael Green & Marc Guggenheim, based upon characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics.
The film also stars Blake Lively (upcoming “The Town,” TV’s “Gossip Girl”) as the spirited Carol Ferris, a test pilot and the heir apparent to her father’s aviation company; Peter Sarsgaard (“An Education,” “Flightplan”) as scientist Dr. Hector Hammond; Mark Strong (“Sherlock Holmes”) as Sinestro, Jordan’s powerful mentor in the Green Lantern Corps; Jay O. Sanders (“Revolutionary Road”) as Carl Ferris, Carol’s aircraft designer dad; Temuera Morrison (“Star Wars” Episodes II and III) as Abin Sur, Jordan’s alien predecessor; Taika Waititi (TV’s “The Flight of the Conchords”) as flight navigator Tom Kalmaku, Hal’s good friend and confidante; Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett (“What’s Love Got to Do with It”) as enigmatic government scientist Amanda Waller; and Academy Award® winner Tim Robbins (“Mystic River”) as Hector’s influential father, Senator Robert Hammond.
The film is being produced by Donald De Line (“The Italian Job”) and Greg Berlanti (upcoming “Life As We Know It”). Herbert W. Gains and Andrew Haas serve as executive producers. Geoff Johns and Lucienne Papon are co-producing.
The film’s behind-the-scenes creative team is led by a number of Academy Award® winners, including director of photography Dion Beebe (“Memoirs of a Geisha”), production designer Grant Major (“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”), and costume designer Ngila Dickson (“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”), as well as Oscar®-nominated editor and longtime Campbell collaborator, Stuart Baird (“Gorillas in the Mist,” “Superman”). The film’s visual effects are being overseen by Oscar®-nominee Kent Houston (“The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen,” “Casino Royale”).
The film is currently scheduled for release in 3D and 2D on June 17, 2011. “Green Lantern” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. '

Batman: The Brave and the Bold, DC Super Friends and Young Justice Round Out DC Super Hero Line-Up
BURBANK, Calif., Jun 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) announced today a landmark year ahead for DC Comics and master toy licensee Mattel, led by programs in support of summer (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/04/official-green-lantern-movie-logo-revealed/#) 2011’s Green Lantern from Warner Bros.

Under the terms of their ongoing strategic alliance, Mattel is granted unprecedented access to the complete breadth and scope of the DC Comics vault of characters, including Green Lantern and thousands of world-famous heroes and villains, such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Joker and The Riddler. Mattel will also continue its successful lines based on Batman: The Brave and the Bold and DC Super Friends, and is in the process of developing an all-new line to support Young Justice.
“The sheer volume of the DC Comics property portfolio lends itself to an incredible array of consumer offerings,” said Brad Globe, president, Warner Bros.

Green Lantern is set to light up movie screens around the world in summer 2011.

Each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers, but when a new enemy threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate, and the fate of Earth, lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
“The Green Lantern film has an incredibly wide merchandise appeal,” said Donald De Line, Producer, Green Lantern. “The potential is there for amazing toys and merchandise because Green Lantern’s ring can create anything the imagination can conjure.

Was the Green Lantern Ring Design Changed for the Upcoming Movie?

Images circulating the net have many fans wondering why Hal Jordan's ring doesn't look like the comic book version; was this design changed solely for the film?
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12203L.jpg
Over the past several months, we've seen images that allude to a change in the ring design being used for Martin Capbell's Green Lantern film. The first being the revamped Lantern logo, which has a bejeweled center with a textured, metallic surrounding. The second being the newly revealed promotional artwork from Warner Bros. Consumer Products (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18769) division; a homage to the popular Green Lantern comic cover pose.
This design has divided fans evenly. There are those who like the movie version of the ring and feel it will translate well to film; while others consider it a design failure that doesn't respect the source material, pointing out it's similarity to Green Lantern Kyle Rayner's ring or the Corps Honor Guard as apposed to the rounded-ring Hal Jordan wears in the modern comics. Though the ring may be "new" to some fans' eyes, it most definitely is not new to Green Lantern comics. As a matter of fact, that design is over 20 years old!
Below you'll find images, courtesy of SHH poster Mondragon, that reveal the origin of the movie ring. It appears the production designers dug into the archives to use the Neal Adams/Mike Grell comics run from the mid-1970s as a basis for Hal Jordan's intergalactic weapon:

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12206L.jpg
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12204L.jpg
Now that we know the ring is in fact actually based on Green Lantern mythology, and not some designer's unique experiment, fans should have a bit more hope that the studio has done their research.
The Flash Movie and Green Lantern Sequel Officially in Development
Warner Bros has signed three familiar writers to pen the superhero projects; even though the first Green Lantern film has yet to hit theaters.
DC Comics fans will be happy to hear that Warner Bros was serious in their promise to continue bringing new superhero properties to the big screen. Heat Vision has just reported that Hollywood screenwriters Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, who all had a hand in developing the the first Green Lantern screenplay, have been officially contracted to create scripts for The Flash and a Green Lantern sequel. The site goes on to say:
"Under the deal, they would then go on to write the screenplay for one of the two projects, though which one has not been determined."
The Flash script will apparently be based off of the recent run by DC's Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, and will feature Barry Allen as the first film incarnation of the Scarlett Speedster.
Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and Mark Strong, is currently filming in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Security surrounding Martin Campbell'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18999#) Green Lantern set has increased tremendously over the past month; more than likely due to the amount of leaked set pictures and details that had surfaced since filing began.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12433L.jpg
Today, courtesy of CBM Scooper Kate, we've learned that the production has moved back to the University of New Orleans (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=16839) to shoot an action-heavy scene involving a constructed stunt set-up.
Pictured here --------------->
Specifically, the crew is set up on Franklin Avenue in the East Campus section of the college. The University of New Orleans Science Building was first used as the setting for Green Lanternhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18999#) villain Hector Hammond, portrayed by Peter Sarsgaard. No word yet whether either Sarsgaard or the film's (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18999#) star Ryan Reynolds are on location for the scene.
Once filming at UNO is completed, the production will move back to Lakeshore Airport; which has been set up as the faux headquarters for the fictional Ferris Air company (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=17822).

Green Lantern Set Pictures and 'Unofficial' Scene Description
Another eager fan took a stroll around the Green Lanternairport set and managed to provide us with a few pictures and details of his day as a movie extra.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12078L.jpg
It is fairly well known by now that Warner Bros (http://www.kcsr.org/#) has been using New Orleans Lakeshore Airport (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=17822) as the set of the fictitious Ferris Air for Martin Campbell's (http://www.kcsr.org/#) Green Lantern. It appears that an eager fan (Cyber Bishop) has followed in my footsteps (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=17053) by offering an unofficial report of the day's filming.
Here is his description of the scene he worked on as an extra for Green Lantern:
"We got to the set around 4:45 am (call time was 5:00am due to wardrobe fittings for 25+ extras). First thing I had to sign a confidentiality waver (ans yet I am posting this here.. LOL) I had to give my phone to my friend Ryan too. I got there and was assigned with my friend Paul to be a aircraft fueler. They gave us bright yellow safety vests, glasses and gloves. When we got to the set they actually made us Ferris Air badges with our real names on them (my friend Ryan is going to try and get mine from the prop dept for me).
We headed towards the set and put our stuff in a hangar where they had huge Ferris and American flags hanging, and an experimental prop plane in the center with ropes around it. We went out to the tarmac and were positioned near a fuel truck (my friend Ryan the military prop consultant) wanted to make sure that we would be in the shot (I did not care, it is a paycheck and a chance to say I was in the movie). Anyway the shot begins with two Ferris personnel carts bringing senator Hammond and some other business men around the plane (marked United States Air Force) to their destination (the hangar with the experimental plane). Paul and I were to stretch the fuel line to the plane and act as if we were pumping fuel.
It was HOT.. I hate southern Louisiana summers... Thank God I am in shape because that fuel line weighed a ton dragging it to the plane and lifting it to the fuel spout under the wing.. We shot the scene from two different angles about 10 times each (to ensure proper lighting, continuity, etc..).
I did see Tim Robbins (Senator Hammond), Jay O. Sanders (Carl Ferris) and Deke Anderson (4 Star General) as they were all in the carts getting transported to the other hangar.
The shot ended around 11:30 and that was all they needed of us for the time being (short shoot for us but a fill day's pay.. can't beat that).
Ryan and Peter Sarsgaard were scheduled to be there around 2 or so so I missed him but I am not going to complain... I was in the movie.
Oh and to the guy that was rude to me about Ryan being a military consultant I can tell you this, for a lowly consultant they relied on him for every shot. I found out that they took a liking to him and are keeping him around so they have that military expertise to make things look authentic (you would be surprised at the people that nit pick and rip movies apart on their realism).
If I could have kept my phone I could have gone on the plane during the setups and took pix of the entrance of the building (the one that was posted on CBM (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=17822))"
When we got back I did manage to go behind the wardrobe rack nearest to me and snap a shot of a Ferris air logo on a jumpsuit [and airport exit]:

Minor Cast Members Revealed for Green Lantern
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/19095.jpg http://b.scorecardresearch.com/b?C1=8&C2=6035047&C3=445.9429&C4=ad20487b&C5=22&C6=15t7ju11a4k9nq&C7=http%3A//comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/%3Fa%3D19095&C8=Minor%20Cast%20Members%20Revealed%20for%20Green %20Lantern&C9=http%3A//comicbookmovie.com/&C10=1366x768&rn=32549404 http://ans.giantrealm.com/img/gr.comicbookmovie/ros;tile=2;sz=300x250;ord=1234567890 (http://ans.giantrealm.com/click/gr.comicbookmovie/ros;tile=2;sz=300x250;ord=1234567890)
Several additions to the Green Lantern movie cast may help fans consolidate plot details...
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12078L.jpg
Filming for Martin Campbell'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19095#) comic adaptation Green Lantern has been relentless since mid-March; with the movie's (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19095#) cast and crew monopolizing many areas of New Orleans, Louisiana. With the exception of several of the alien Green Lantern Corps members, the film's (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19095#) cast is major roles have all been set in stone. In fact, most of the key actors involved in the production have already had time in front of the cameras.
Minor roles in an enormous project such as this are plentiful, with new characters and extras added almost daily. Here are several updates to the cast, as well as where they most likely fit into the film:
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12589L.JPG
Mindy Caraccioli - Mr. Hammond's student
The 'mister' in question is Dr. Hector Hammond, portrayed in the film by Peter Sarsgaardhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19095#). Hammond's role in Green Lantern appears to differ slightly from the DC comicshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19095#) it is based off of, where he was a government contracted scientist before turning villainous.
For this movie, fans have been speculating that Hammond is instead a college professor, due to several scenes filmed at the University of New Orleans Science Building. This addition to the cast, and the title associated with it, seems to validate that assumption.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12587L.JPG
Deke Anderson - 4-Star General
A recent, unofficial set report made by on of the Green Lantern movie extras confirms Mr. Anderson's military role for the film. He was seen alongside Tim Robbinshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19095#) (Senator Hammond) and Jay O. Sanders (Carl Ferris) as they were being transported to an aircraft hangar for a scene involving the debut of an experimental airplane. For film purposes the hanger resides on the fictitious Ferris Air, a private aircraft testing company contracted to the government.
The movie's leading man, Ryan Reynoldshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19095#), was set to appear in the scene as the adult Hal Jordan, which proves this particular part of the film takes place in 'modern times' as opposed to being a flashback.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12590L.JPG
Griff Furst - UCAV Pilot
The X-45 UCAV is a real-world Unmanned Combat Air System, created by Boeing, that will be slightly modified for use in Green Lantern. It is the plane that Ferris Air CEO Carl Ferris (Jay O. Saunders) unveils to Senator Hammond (Tim Robbins) and the above named 4-Star General.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12591L.jpg
According to the early drafts of the Green Lantern script, the UCAV scene is a pivotal part of the film, especially for it's hero, Hal Jordan.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12588L.png
Joseph Cintron - DEO Agent #3
In DC Comics mythology, the DEO (or Department of Extranormal Operations) is a covert government agency which monitors those with metahuman and supernatural powers, in an effort to prevent any threat to the general public. We've already learned that actor Armando Leduc, had previously landed a role as another DEO agent (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=17353) for the film.
It is rumored that Angela Basset's character, Dr. Amanda Waller, may be involved with the DEO and not be the head of the clandestine agency Checkmate for the film.
Other additions to the cast include a dozen or so "party-goer" extras who spend several weeks filming an, obvious, party scene on the rooftop of a New Orleans high-rise. Also, popular Hollywood stuntman Jeff Wolfe has been assigned a name for his role in the film: Bob Banks. The extent or size of his role has yet to be revealed.
Green Lantern will continue filming through late August, 2010; and is scheduled for theatrical release June 17th, 2011.
Geoff Johns Shares His Thoughts On Mark Strong As Sinestro!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/19121.JPG The comic book writer talks about seeing a test of Mark Stong as Green Lantern (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/) villain Sinestro and goes into detail about his performance...
Over on DC's The Source blog (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=19121#), the critically acclaimed Green Lantern writer has described a recent visit to the set of the upcoming movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=19121#) adaptation and revealed what he think of Mark Strong'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=19121#) performance as the villainous Sinestro! And judging by what he said, it looks like it's going to be pretty damned good...
http://i50.tinypic.com/24gw2df.jpg (http://tinypic.com/)
"I just returned from New Orleans, where Green Lantern is deep in production set for release in June 2011. Green Lantern has an unreal crew and cast. Grant Major – the Production Designer on Lord Of The Rings. Martin Campbell – the director of Casino Royale. And Mark Strong from Sherlock Holmes and Kick-Ass as Sinestro. And while I was there, there was a test on Sinestro. How he looks. How he moves. An amazing test."
"Unfortunately, that test is top secret."
"I can say with confidence, however, if you like Sinestro you’re going to love Mark Strong as Sinestro. Powerful, regal, intimidating. Mark clearly has done his research and embraced every aspect of what makes Sinestro one of the greatest, most complex characters within the vast, epic universe of the Green Lantern Corps. I think you’ll be as psyched as I am when you finally see him."
Green Lantern Adds Another Cast Member
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/19493.jpg
TV actor Mike Doyle has landed the role of Ryan Reynold's brother in Martin Campbell's DC superhero adaptation; which is currently filming in New Orleans, Louisiana.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12078L.jpg
Filming for Martin Campbell's comic adaptation Green Lantern has been relentless since mid-March; with the movie's (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19493#) cast and crew monopolizing many areas of New Orleans, Louisiana. With the exception of several of the alien Green Lantern Corps members, the film's (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19493#) cast is major roles have all been set in stone. In fact, most of the key actors involved in the production have already had time in front of the cameras.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/13051L.jpgThe Hollywood Reporter recently revealed that actor Mike Doyle has been cast for the role of Jack Jordan, the older brother of Hal Jordan (portrayed in the film by Ryan Reynolds). In Green Lanternhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19493#) comics mythology, Jack is not only Hal's oldest brother, but his strongest opposition in the family. In later stories (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19493#), Jack became the District Attorney of Coast City, where the Jordan family had grown up.
Mike Doyle is an American actor, screenwriter, director (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19493#) and producer (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19493#). His most notable roles to date have been a six-year run as Forensics Tech Ryan O'Halloran on Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit and Adam Guenzel in the prison series OZ.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/13052L.jpg
Here is an excerpt from the detailed Green Lantern movie synopsis, which was revealed here at CBM exclusively (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18593): 'In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.'
Green Lantern will continue filming through late August, 2010; and is scheduled for theatrical release June 17th, 2011.

The cast and crew of DC Entertainment's latest superhero film are still hard at work filming in New Orleans, Louisiana; Find out what they're up to after the jump...
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12078L.jpg
As many fans are already aware, production of Martin Campbell'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19580#) Green Lantern has taken place throughout the New Orleans, Louisiana, area since mid March. Lakeside Airport, the University of New Orleans and the Riverfront Convention areas are only a handful of the locations that have been used to date. Over the past few days, the production crew have revisited the Seabrook Bridge to film a large-scale stunt scene. Thanks to CBM Scooper Mark, we have a peak of the stunt crew setting up for the shoot under the bridge. I've been told that the crane rig mounted on the vehicle is known as the "Ultimate Arm," and is made so the camera car can operate at speeds up to 90 miles per hour:
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/13135L.jpg
Supposedly, the secretive scene involves an altercation between the film's ring slinging protagonist Hal Jordan (portrayed by Ryan Reynoldshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19580#)) and one of the film's villains. The Seabrook Bridge, also known as the Senator Ted Hickey Bridge, is a four-lane roadway which carries one of the city's main, waterfront thoroughfares, Lakeshore Drive, and connects Leon C. Simon Drive on the upper side with Hayne Boulevard on the lower.
Green Lantern will continue filming in the New Orleans area through August, 2010. The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Mark Stronghttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19580#), Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaardhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19580#), Temuera Morrison and Tim Robbins. It is scheduled for theatrical release June 17th, 2011.
Angela Bassett Wraps on Green Lantern

The critically acclaimed actress has concluded her filming as the mysterious Dr. Amanda Waller on the DC' superhero movie set.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12078L.jpg
Martin Campbell'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19592#) comic adaptation, Green Lantern, is rapidly approaching the end of principal photography; which is scheduled to culminate around mid-August. The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i1776da49f71375633112817e1e64c356) has released word that Bassett concluded her time on the Green Lantern movie set, where she is portraying the character of Dr. Amanda Waller. Bassett is the third actress to represent the character in recent media, behind CCH Pounderhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19592#) (DC Animated Universe) and Pam Grierhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19592#) (Smallville). In DC Comicshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19592#) mythology, Waller is the head of the clandestine, investigative organization Checkmate; though that relation has yet to be confirmed for the movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19592#). Waller could possibly be involved with the Department of Extranormal Operations, since two movie cast members have been identified as agents for that specific agency.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/13134L.jpg
Highlight Below for Spoilers:
Green Lantern fans who have managed to get their hands on Greg Berlanti's first draft script have surmised that Bassett/Waller's role in the film replaced the character of "Pipe." In this script, Pipe works for a government agency that is investigating the supernatural occurrences taking place throughout the film. Pipe is actually Alan Scott, the first DC Comics hero to bear the superhero name Green Lantern. Also in the script, Scott's ring is not magical in origin but a lost Green Lantern Corp ring that he found in his youth.
Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynoldshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19592#) as the title character, Mark Strong, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaardhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19592#), Temuera Morrison and Tim Robbins. It is scheduled for theatrical release June 17th, 2011.

Updates From WB Panel For Green Lantern At Comic-Con
Here are the latest updates from Hall H!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/12078L.jpg
Updates from Poni_Boy (http://twitter.com/Poni_Boy) on twitter (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/TheDogPound/news/?a=20523#) and email. Also, some live blog (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/TheDogPound/news/?a=20523#) messages from G4
Geoff Johns just hit the stage to announce the footage!
Footage starts out, a voice talks to us and welcomes us as "Inhabitants of Sector 2814"
Ryan/Hal recites the Oath during the clip! First look at Tomar Re
Reynolds nails three bad guys with a huge green fist
Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Stong, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds hit the stage
Martin Campbell, "The costume is always a work in progress. We have the black and green, and we lost the white gloves. We felt it looked cooler and far more interesting without them. There are certain lines on the costume, and it's more like a skin on GL than a costume. The lines are all lines of musculature, which our designer came up with. It is a work in progress. It will eventually look incredibly cool."
Kilowag, Tomar Re, Boodika, Mojo, The Green Man and Bzzd will be in the movie.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14285L.jpg
Geoff Johns is telling a story about how they tried to make a Green Lantern 10 years ago, and the first thing the studio exec asked was "Can we make the movie without the ring?" That's when he thought there would never be a Green Lantern film.
3 weeks left to shoot in New Orleans.
Sarsgaard is talking about his character, and how he becomes an expression of what he keeps inside. "He's the kid that licked the battery... or went on the roof during a thunderstorm with a coat hanger."
Geoff Johns can't talk about future DC films...yet
Freaky twins asked Mark Strong if he will 'kick ass' in the film. Creepy
Reynolds: "I saw this guy who is arrogant and cocky in the film who is given this amazing gift, and that becomes humbling for him. I thought that was a great arc for a character in a superhero film."
Ryan Reynolds looks massive! He may be as big as Chris Hemsworth
Johns on possibility of Justice League movie: "Anything is possible, but I think the Green Lantern movie will lead the charge for anything that comes later."
Blake Lively can't wait to be a villain and kick Ryan Reynolds ass in the sequel
Martin Campbell's favorite Lantern is Bzzd, he just had to include him in the film
Reynolds recites The Oath to the crowd (and directly to the little kid that asked him) while brandishing his ring.
Talking about flying, Reynolds says that all the Lanterns have their own way of flying. Reynolds, "We get to really spend up in the air and fly. We can bank and make right turns and do somersaults. The flight part for me has been one of the most fun parts of filling the Green Lantern shoes for me."
Reynolds handed out his ring to a member of the audience (they had paper attached to the bottom of their seat). Reynolds: "This means we're married. But like in Space."

Green Lantern comes out in June 17 of the 2011 in 3-D and 2-D!
A HUGE Amount Of New Info From The Green Lantern Press Conference!
Here are a pile of details from the press-only panel which finished just a few moments ago in San Diego, including more from the director and cast on the movies story, characters, special effects and much more...
Once again, our friends over at Newsarama have provided us with all the latest up to date information directly from the San Diegohttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=20532#) Comic Con! Here are all the details from the press-only Green Lantern conference that wrapped up literally only a few minutes ago!
http://i29.tinypic.com/2w72vsg.jpg (http://tinypic.com/?ref=2w72vsg)
Director Martin Campbell..."the way the ring works, through willpower, the stronger the will the stronger the power...i think the story is very simple."
Campbell says its a very straightforward story to translate to the screen.
Reynolds is asked if there were any specific GL comics that informed his role as Hal Jordan. "I read a few different ones."
Because this is an origin story, Reynolds said he focused on Secret Origins a little bit. He said Geoff Johns described it best by comparing it to a Star Wars-type story.
Hal is "kind of arrogant and cocky. This power sets him off on a...different path."
He said filming in New Orleans has made the motion capture suit a bit of a challenge. "It's pretty much the closest place to the sun on Earth," he joked.
Reynolds said the training he endured was more functional than anything. He also joked that since it's a Martin Campbell film, you're bound to get injured and land in the hospital once or twice. "It's been fun to train ..."
http://i32.tinypic.com/mj8n0j.jpg (http://tinypic.com/?ref=mj8n0j)
Lively - "I just spent many days with Ryan. That was my training," she joked. She also says they didnt' want to pin the story down in a specific era, so her fashion sense is very 'classic' in terms of the dresses she wears.
Peter Saarsgard talks about playing Hector Hammond. "There's a fine line between science and wishful thinkiing. I've thought about the guys who have stretched our thinking ...guys like Carl Saagan.."
Reynolds says he doesn't really differentiate between Marvel and DC...
Reynolds said the effects house charged with creating the GL mask didn't know who was going to be wearing it, but that they arbitrarily used his features to build the prototype. So when he was fitted for it, it fit a little better he said, "...than it would have fit Regis Philbin."
About the space opera and alien aspects of the film, and whether they've done any voice casting for Kilowogg and other alien characters...
Campbell says they have several ideas, but that he can't discuss it because it's too early in the production process to start casting the voices.
http://i32.tinypic.com/29v154h.jpg (http://tinypic.com/?ref=29v154h)
Mark Strong says Sinestro is "an incredibly organized and fearless component of the Green Lantern Corps." He basically guides Hal Jordan through the training process.
Strong says coming off KICK-ASS, where he fought a 12-year-old girl, he is enjoying this much more because he gets to face off with a grown man.
Strong says he and Reynolds have several one-on-one confrontations in the film. "Sinestro tests him because he does not believe a human can handle the Corps," he said.
He talked specifically about a sequence where Sinestro and Kilowogg put Jordan through a very rigorous test early on, which leads to a faceoff between Sinestro and Jordan.
Bruno, Campbell said being strictly faithful to specific comic storylines isn't something he's focusing on.
Reynolds' answer regarding playing Deadpool and now GL was very diplomatic. If he has a preference for one character or the other, he wasn't saying it today.
More In-Depth Details Of The Green Lantern Comic Con Footage!
Screen Crave have released a detailed synopsis of the Green Lantern (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/) footage shown in San Diego less than an hour ago! Check it out...
Although we've already heard about some of the best bits of the footage shown at Comic Con, here are some detailed points that Screen Crave have just posted that give an even better idea about what those present were lucky enough to witness. Until some footage is inevitably leaked online later today, read on for more on what exactly you can expect to see!
http://i32.tinypic.com/t88189.jpg (http://tinypic.com/?ref=t88189)
The first thing that will hit you is the serious tone. Reynolds seems to have dropped his sarcastic demeanor entirely and proves that he can be more than just a comedian.
The footage begins with us the audience being told to focus on a green light and that we could control it. Once it explodes it jumps to Reynolds who is trying to learn how to control this power and then we quickly jump to seeing him get his ass kicked in a number of different ways.
The story seems to be very much an origins story. It begins with us seeing Reynolds as a test pilot being given a mystical green ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers and he doesn’t quite seem to know what to do with it.
We very briefly get to see some of the supporting cast including Temuera Morrison as Abin Sur in his glass case (which is the exact same case we posted photos for) and Saragard as Hector Hammond for a brief moment choking Senator Hammond played by Tim Robbins.
They showed the landscape of planet Oa. We’re talking mountains and volcanoes galore covered by green energy. The entire system was represented and it looked glorious.
At the end, the screen breaks into thousands of little green pieces and the music hits home. Quite hard not to get a bit carried away with something that involves you so strongly.
More From Ryan Reynolds On The Green Lantern Costume!
The actor discusses the debate surrounding the appearence of the costume, talks about the importance of the mythology surrounding the ring and reveals what he thinks about the characters "lame" white gloves...
Movie Trailers (http://www.mtv.com/movies/trailer_park/) - Movies Blog (http://moviesblog.mtv.com/)
"There has to be a little healthy debate about it," he explained to MTV News. "I mean, that's important. If it were just slanted one way or the other, I don't think it would be that satisfying. And truthfully, we've only seen a tiny glimpse of the suit, you know, we haven't seen it in motion. And we haven't seen the full suit as well."
"Well, the ring basically is a biological manifestation of its wearer, and that's the mythology that we're sticking to, and that's the mythology Geoff Johns wants to stick to, and I completely agree with him."
"The white gloves aren't there, and I think that's fine, because specifically they're lame. But everything else is gonna be there, and I think the fanboys and the people that are new to the character are gonna love it."

The Green Lantern (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/) actress discusses travelling into outer space as well as her character's relationship with Hal Jordan...
Movie Trailers (http://www.mtv.com/movies/trailer_park/) - Movies Blog (http://moviesblog.mtv.com/)
"Yeah, you do get to see outer space — that's what's so nice about it," Lively (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=20590#) told MTV News at Comic Con yesterday. "You know, in superhero movies it's either in a specific city on planet Earth or in space, but the fact that you get to go back and forth is something that's a unique thing that you haven't seen in many movies."
"She's Hal Jordan's boss. She's also a fighter pilot. She's only second to him; they're the number two fighter pilots in the world, so she's also his rival, and so it creates a really interesting dynamic and a cool tension."

Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds Discusses the CGI Costume and Hard Training
Ryan Reynolds says training for a Martin Campbell movie is like "a knife fight in a phone booth."
Ryan describes his Green Lantern suit as "the most aggravating" he has worked with:
"This costume is a motion capture suit that I'm wearing, so because it's not seen on camera they've managed to find a material that I think most would agree is the most aggravating substance on earth. We're shooting in Louisiana which is pretty close to the sun. The suit's been difficult running around in a unitard in the New Orleans summer heat."
"The training's just different. You're not training on an aesthetic level, you're training on a functional ability. You want to stay out of the hospital as long as possible, but it is a Martin Campbell movie so you're bound to be there once or twice. Martin described it as a knife fight in a phone booth."
Green Lantern is set to hit theater in June 2011.

EXCLUSIVE: Green Lantern Set Pictures and Scene Description
Today the Green Lantern movie crew continued wreaking havoc in the streets of New Orleans; check out this jackknifed big rig, crashed school bus and more...
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14285L.jpg
Thanks to CBM Scooper ComicBookGuy we have plenty more pictures of the action filled production day of Martin Campbell's Green Lanternhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20910#) film. Filming took place on the intersection of Poydras and O'Keefe in downtown New Orleans, Louisianahttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20910#). This appears to be a continuation of the "mass panic" scene (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20862) centered around the newly constructed faux Farmer's Market. As per the description yesterday, 'The extras have been spending their days running around the set screaming and acting terrified. The Farmer's Market was constructed from scratch in a New Orleans parking lot. Ryan Reynolds hasn't appeared on set yet, but this scene does involve his character facing off against the threat. This threat could be the fear entity known as Parallax, since the other villain, Hector Hammond (played by Peter Sarsgaard) hasn't been confirmed to appear in the scene.'
The jackknifed truck was set up to crash directly in front of the market, while the vehicle (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20910#) the Coast City school bus hit was set up with a steaming radiator, for added effect:

"The three walls were constructed in the corner of the intersection and quite a bit of shooting took place there. The walls are covered with "graffiti" and fake posters. I couldn't get in close enough to get a good pic of the posters but they look like they may have some DCU related stuff on them."

EXCLUSIVE: Krona to Make an Appearance in Green Lantern Movie
The Oan scientist whose actions caused the creation of the DC Comics Multiverse will be introduced to general audiences in Martin Campbell's live action Green Lantern film.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14285L.jpg
Another day, another Green Lantern filming report. The cast and crew of DC's next superhero tentpole franchise, Green Lantern, will be filming in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana, tonight. Several streets will be completely closed off to allow room for an Earth-based scene involving the fear entity Parallax and Krona. Longtime readers of DC comics know who Krona is; but for those of you a bit unfamiliar, here is a brief description:
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14744L.pngBorn on Maltus, Krona is an Oan scientist who became obsessed with observing the origins of the universe itself, despite an ancient legend that said discovering that secret would cause a great calamity. Krona constructs a machine that pierces the temporal barrier and views the beginnings of time itself. Krona catches a glimpse of the hand of creation depositing the speck that would become the entire cosmos. His machine explodes at that instant, and the universe is shattered causing the creation of the Multiverse as the universe replicates into an infinite number of parallel universes. At this same moment, the Anti-Matter Universe is created, unleashing evil into the cosmos; thus, the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor are born. As punishment for this act, Krona is transformed into pure energy by his fellow Oans and is sent to forever wander the cosmos. Krona's actions are what caused the Oans to become the Guardians of the Universe.
The exact role Krona will play in Green Lantern is still uncertain. Could this be another clue that DC is secretly planning to conjoin their superhero propertieshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20971#) into one film universe? Or is this their way of explaining all the different incarnations of their film characters?

Mark Strong Talks About Sinestro's Green Lantern Costume
The comic book movie veteran actor describes his costume for Martin Campbell's Green Lantern movie and also talks about several 'looks' that didn't make it into the film.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14750L.jpg
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14765L.jpgIn another post-Comic Con interview, MTV caught up with actor Mark Strong and managed to confirm his costume in the DC comicshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21042#) adaptation Green Lantern will be completely CGI; just like Ryan Reynolds. Besides the suit, though, Strong sports "prosthetics and makeup from the neck up" to complete Sinestro's look.
"People will be — and I am — really delighted at the fact that they've really made sure that he is as he is in the comics. Because there was a whole production run of ideas of ponytails and goatees and all this kind of stuff, [and] I couldn't really understand why they would want to change it, because it's so successful in the comic."
Regarding the character's comics counterpart, Strong added:
"It's born of the look of David Niven, that mustache and that widow's peak, and I think it would be a shame to get rid of it,"
"I'm delighted, because he looks pretty much exactly like he is in the comic."
More From Ryan Reynolds And Blake Lively On Green Lantern!
Reynolds talks about doing as many practical stunts for the movie as possible while Lively once again goes into detail about her lack of Green Lantern (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/) knowledge before taking on the role...
"Martin is not a fan of default CGI," Ryan Reynolds told Empire Magazine in their latest issue when asked about how many of the effects will be practical. "Martin uses the term 'a knife fight in a phone booth'. Like in Casino Royale - ugly and nasty and close quarters."
http://i32.tinypic.com/29v154h.jpg (http://tinypic.com/?ref=29v154h)
When asked to compare Green Lantern to other films of the same genre, he said: "The difference from other superhero movies is that this is both a space epic and earthbound. It leaves us open to so many possibilities."
Hi co-star Blake Lively who plays his love interest Carol Ferris in the upcoming movie was quick to admit that she knew nothing about any of the characters before getting the job, "I didn't know anything about Green Lantern. I went on Wikipedia - it was like a different language!" The actress then revealed that DC writer Geoff Johns gave her a crash course on the character, "It's been around since the '40s, there is a lot of story I've missed!"
Green Lantern Sequels To Film Back To Back?
The word is that the sequel to Martin Campbell's Green Lantern will start shooting before the first one even comes out! With a third to follow suit.
This comes from Bleeding Cool, who appear to ahve been scmoozing with some of the movie's production crew around the New Orleans bars, where they heard this little gem of info..
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/greenlanternpromo1.jpg...the word is that shooting on Green Lantern 2 is scheduled to begin before the first movie is even released.
So confident of a smash are Warner Bros, that they already making big plans to use current shooting location New Orleans as a stand-in for DC’s Coast City in the sequel, which will be announced for either a Summer or Christmas 2012 release, depending on where the Flash movie fits in.
And if the first film does the megabucks they are expecting, then Warners will greenlight a third Green Lantern movie to be shot back to back with the second, for release in 2013.
Pretty much a Lord Of The Rings type deal then. If this is accurate, expect cross overs. I just can't imagine they would film 3 movies in succession, with The Flash and another Superman coming out, without fitting one of em in somewhere. Also, providing this is on the level, this could seriously put a crimp in any plans for Ryan Reynolds to star as Deadpool in the proposed solo movie. As far as I know, he hasn't officially signed on for that yet!
EXCLUSIVE: Green Lantern Movie's Kilowog Revealed
Direct from the art department of the recently wrapped Green Lantern movie set, here is the first official look of the ring-slinging drill instructor Kilowog!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14750L.jpg
Although Warner Bros' superhero film, Green Lantern, has just wrapped it's principal photography, the hardest part has just begun. The film's director and crew will be moving back to Los Angeleshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21293#) this week to begin the long process of post production, which for his movie in particular is a daunting task. Not only is the Green Lantern suit Ryan Reynoldshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21293#) wears in the movie completely computer generated, but the majority of alien Lantern Corps members are as well.
And speaking of Corps members... eager Green Lantern fans have been waiting a long time to see him, and here he is now. The Poozer-stopping Kilowog:
[Click the image to enlarge]
As you can see, the final design for Kilowog is much different from the early concept art (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=14240) that leaked online several months ago. The changes in his body (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21293#) design are similar to those made for Tomar Re; which emphasis a less humanoid appearance.

Major Plot Spoiler Warning! Want to know more about the two villains in DC's Green Lantern live action film? Follow the jump to read all about them...
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14750L.jpg
Several days ago, it was revealed that the comic book character Krona will be featured (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20971) in the Green Lantern movie. According to DC comic canon, Krona's selfish actions are what caused the creation of the "multiverse;" or, parallel universes. Many fans began to wonder whether the inclusion of Krona into the film's story would lead to a similar explanation of DC's movie-verse; and thus, tie their superhero properties together.
Want to know more? Simply highlight the text below...
MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14958L.jpg- Krona becomes the first "host" to Parallax, by way of the Yellow Power Battery. This takes place as a prologue of the film.
- Parallax doesn't just feed off of fear, it rips the souls out of it's victims; leaving dried "husks" of the corpses.
- Parallax/Krona attacks Abin Sur's ship, which causes him to crash land on Earth and die.
- While performing an autopsy on the corpse of Abin Sur, Hector Hammond becomes infected by a fragment of Parallax which causes him to gain exponential telepathic and telekinetic powers.
- Hammond attacks Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris (whom he harbors feelings towards) at the Ferris airfield hanger, a similar scene to the one in the Green Lantern Secret Origins comic; the difference being that Hammond wants Hal's Green Lantern ring.
- Hammond is ultimately killed by Parallax, who absorbs his soul in the manner mentioned above.
- Parallax fights Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris on Earth. The fight is unevenly matched until other members of the Green Lantern Corps arrive.

Visiting the Warner Bros. lot, Johnny Whiteshoes of Geek Tyrant described what he saw being, "a big Green Lantern party going on', which was most likely the celebration for the studio recently wrapping up on Martin Campbell's much anticipated Green Lantern film. The photographer there was nice enough to share a photo with Johnny of Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison), which we've seen several times including at last month's San Diego Comic-Con, but not like this.

EXCLUSIVE: First Look at Bzzd from Green Lantern Movie
Take a gander at director Martin Campbell's favorite Lantern Corps member, in this CGI rendering for the live action film.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14750L.jpg
It has already been revealed that the entire 3,600 Green Lantern Corps members who patrol the similarly numbered sectors of the universe will cameo in next summer's live action superhero adaptation, Green Lantern. To top it off, at least two dozen alien Lanterns will have center stage roles; one of which is Bzzd. For those who aren't familiar with the character, here's a brief bio: Although Bzzd was no bigger then a housefly, his tremendous willpower allowed him to be a capable fighter in the Green Lantern Corps. Bzzd's power was evident in his penchant for creating constructs that were massive in scope when compared to his diminutive size, like locomotives and full scale roller coastershttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21510#).
And here is your first (albeit unfinished) look at the character, who happens to be a favorite of the film's director, Martin Campbell:

Here is your first look at a CGI rendering of Tomar-Re, Hal Jordan's spiritual guide, in the DC comics adaptation Green Lantern. Is this what the character will look like in the finished film?
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/14750L.jpg
When the live-action Green Lantern film hits theaters next summer, audiences will not only be introduced to the character Hal Jordan (portrayed by Ryan Reynolds), but his "support staff" of alien Lantern Corps members who help him learn the ways of patrolling the universe. The most important three being Thaal Sinestro, Hal's mentor, Kilowog, his drill instructor, and Tomar-Re, who has been dubbed by the film's production department as Hal's 'spiritual guide.'
According to DC comicshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21583#) mythology: Tomar-Re was a scientist on the planet Xudar before joining the Green Lantern Corps. He became a pivotal member of the Corps, training new members and serving in the Honor Guard. He was close friends with Abin Sur, Green Lantern of neighboring sector 2814 and was the first Lantern Corps member to meet his replacement, Hal Jordan.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/15002L.jpg
Tomar's most famous mission while serving in the Corps dealt with the planet Krypton. Krypton, a planet in Sector 2813, was growing increasingly unstable. It was due to explode, caused by internal pressures deep inside the planet's core. Tomar-Re sought to use a rare compound called Stellarium to absorb some of the tectonic pressure, thus saving the Kryptonians. He gathered the compound, and was en route to Krypton when a yellow solar flare blinded him, and forced him to drop the stellarium. He quickly recovered, but discovered he was blind. He gathered what little stellarium he could without his sight, and proceeded towards Krypton. He was closing in when his vision started to clear. The first thing he saw upon his sight returning was Krypton exploding. The Guardians of the Universe recovered Tomar and brought him back to Oa, where he healed and rested.

The comic book movie veteran describes his place in the film and why his time on the set was so late into production, as well as the characters he has already seen designs for.

Over the past few weeks, Green Lantern fans has been privy to the first images of Mark Stronghttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21605#) as Sinestro, as well as CGI renderings of Lantern Corps members Tomar-Re (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21583) and Kilowog (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21293). In a brief interview with MTVhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21605#) News, Strong talks about his role in the film:
"[Most of my scenes are in space], indeed, which is why I've come in at the end of shooting. Because now we've moved into the studio and into blue screen — obviously not green screen, because Green Lantern would disappear! We're in blue screen, and most of [my work takes place] in space."
Regarding his thoughts about the alien designs he has seen so far:
"Tomar-Re is in [the movie] and it's an amazing look — kind of half-bird and half-fish. Kilowog is in it and he's a massive, great, big bulldog kind of character. There are others, too, but I won't ruin it."
Of course, fans don't have to wait any longer to see these Green Lantern characters for themselves. Simply follow the links above to get a look at both Tomar-Re and Kilowog.
When asked whether his research into the immense Green Lantern comics mythology helped his portrayal of Hector Hammond for the film, Sarsgaard admitted to turning to the script for guidance.

In another brief interview with MTVhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21695#) News, actor Peter Sarsgaardhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21695#) talked about his venture to purchase comic book in hopes it would help him portray the villainous Hector Hammond in Martin Campbell's live-action film, Green Lantern:
"I got [comics] from this guy around the corner from me in Brooklyn, who has a store," Sarsgaard told MTV News at this year's San Diegohttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21695#) Comic Con. Whether those books were important in his preparation for the role is a different story.
"A little bit," he explained. "Honestly, the most helpful thing is to look to the script, because you know, it's true of anything, I mean, any kind of research for any movie — you're playing a pianist, well you could go and learn the piano, or you could just work on the script. Because you're not really going to be playing the piano anyway."
In the comics world, Hammond was a private contractor and scientist who, when exposed to the power core of Abin Sur's downed ship, experienced exponential growth of his brain. This growth gave his powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities, in exchange for the use of his body (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21695#) which eventually became atrophied.

More From Peter Sarsgaard On His Role In Green Lantern!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/22128.JPG
The actor, who plays the villainous Hector Hammond in the upcoming movie talks about having to don prosthetics for the role as well as how hard it was to live up to the expectations of comic book fans...
(http://www.mtv.com/movies/trailer_park/)
The names for the head pieces were all very Jay-Z," Sarsgaard told MTV News. "They were like 2.5, 3.0...all that sort of thing. I do have a piece of one."
"I got kind of addicted to the glue that attaches it. I actually just told Mark Strong that. He's just starting and I said 'you're going to find yourself missing that smell. That sticky...feeling. That cold brush going up against your face in the morning.'"
As for the pressure of playing such an iconic villain, he stated that he was only just getting over it: "I don't know...I've been on vacation. I wrapped this film a couple of weeks ago and it was an enormous amount of work. And I just took my brain out of my head and threw it into the ocean. So, I'm not sure."
Marc Guggenheim Weighs In On Green Lantern, the Sequel, & The Flash Movie Treatment
Co-writer of the much anticipated Green Lantern, speaks with heavily with Newsarama sharing thoughts on the film, a few tidbits on a sequel, & The Flash. Check it Out!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/dgtgrtgedr.png
Marc Guggenheim, the co-writer of Martin Campbell's upcoming Green Lantern adaption, speaks heavily with Vaneta Rogers of Newsarama on the film (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22370#), which hits theaters June 17, 2011, and drops a few tidbits on the sequel & The Flash movie adaption.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/rtfhrtfh.pngGuggenheim says straight forward, "We've turned in the treatment for Flash, And we're talking about Green Lantern 2." "It would be a quality problem to have, to think about a third. But one step at a time,"
"I went down to New Orleans two months ago to see some of the Green Lantern filming, and I got to see a whole bunch of things in connection with the movie," Guggenheim said. "In all honesty, I was completely blown away. I don't think it dawned on me how huge this movie would be until I went down to New Orleans and really saw everything that I saw. It was incredibly eye-opening. I was really rendered speechless. There's just no way for me to put it to words, just how huge this movie is going to be."
"I think where that came out of was, when Greg Berlanti originally pitched the movie to Warner Bros., he pitched three movies. So there's always been, and he's said this publicly, that there's always been enough story for a trilogy. The scope of the character and the character's world requires that. But we're really just focusing on the treatment for Green Lantern 2."And I know that everyone involved in the production of the movie is just focusing on completing the first film," he added.
"I think it's very hard to talk about these characters in a closed-ended, sort of non-sequel way, especially characters like The Flash and Green Lantern, which have such rich, long histories. You can't help but talk about the characters and go, 'Oh, I really want to do the movie where we get to this moment, or that moment.' So you're always talking in terms of sequels, but no, nothing's planned. We haven't even written the script yet for The Flash. It's very much one step at a time for The Flash.
Guggenheim continues on the excitement of the Green Lantern sequel saying, "But it's terrific that people are talking along these lines. I think that talk really comes out of the great amount of faith and the movie and the optimistic feeling about it. So I think that's only a good thing.
On whether or not he'll cameo in Martin Campbell's adaption, "I actually can't confirm that. I wish I could. The truth is, those sort of decisions get made high above my pay grade."
But that doesn't mean he's against the idea, having even stated in the past that he'd love to see a Supermanhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22370#) cameo in a Green Lantern movie. "I have all sorts of my own ideas and things I would like to see or like to do. And I'm certainly a voice in favor of cameos and Easter eggs and trying to tie the movies together," he said. "But you really have to talk to DC about that."
Green Lantern Movie Stills and Storyboards Explained
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/22384.jpg
No pics here, but several stills and storyboards from the Green Lantern movie are described in agonizing detail...
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/classicgl.jpg
Just before Comic-con last July, Entertainment (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=22384#) Weekly revealed the first (torso only) image of Ryan Reynolds in the CGI Green Lantern costume. While it was not EXACTLY like the comics, even purists warmed to it. But now more info has been revealed by former CBMer Pietro Filipponi who has seen media and art (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=22384#) showcasing Reynolds wearing the title character’s iconic suit.
From his descriptions, its closer to the comics version than originally thought, although not the classic style shown above. As mentioned, he cannot show the stills since he is under a ban from Warner Bros, but here are the tasty tid-bits:
•The CGI suit will first appear when Hal (Reynolds) is on the planet Oa, where he goes after creating his first green energy construct, and the ring leads him there for training.
•The suit, made out of "hard light" is a rich green except on the arms, legs and waist which are black.
•There are darker striated lines (like we saw on the EW cover) which separate the green and black.
•The glowing green "fluctuates" in intensity according to the control and willpower that Hal exerts over the ring.
•The green of the front comes to a point at the base of Hal's abdomen and does NOT extend to cover Hal's privates and badonkadonk as depicted in most of the comics versions.
•The suit does glow faintly around the ring bearer when flying. There is lots of flying in the film (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=22384#).
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/glring.jpg•The ring is shown pretty much as we have seen already: silver band with a green center stone, although there will be a CGI glow to it when we see it on film.
•The power battery will indeed be different from the comics, but match the look of the rings. The handles are "squared off" and static (do not swing)and they also sport a larger jewel at the center.
•The Green Lantern oath is inscribed around the power battery jewel and the corps member must recite it in order to charge their rings.
•The energy constructs will take many forms, including basic shields, swords, power blasts, a semi truck, dune buggy, fighter jet and anti-aircraft gun.
•The first trailer for Green Lantern will be with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=22384#) Part 1 in November.
Of course all this info is subject to the editing bay, so don't hold us to every detail.
Guy Gardner And/Or Kyle Rayner In Green Lantern Sequels?
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/22980.jpg
While talking to MTV, Hal Jordan himself Ryan Reynolds hinted that in future Green Lantern movies we could see either Gardner or Rayner wield the ring..
Reynolds has been asked about the possibility of Guy Gardner appearing in this first upcoming movie but kept stchum. Here he mentions the character, but to suggest that both he and Kyle Rayner could feature in future Green Lanternfilms..
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/gardner.jpg"It's a pretty big universe and there's a lot to explore. There's a lot to explore with Hal and without him. You could do a couple more movies with Hal, then you could move onto a movie with Guy Gardner or Kyle Rayner, any of those guys.
Of course that doesn't mean they WILL be making in appearance, as Reynolds is quick to point out, everything depends on the success of this first outing for the space faring DC superhero..
Let's not put the cart before the horse, In success, you do another movie, you do two, and that's fantastic. But the first one has got to land and people have got to see it and really have to have that appetite for a second one."
But it would seem DC/WB are confident that Green Lantern will indeed land because they have set their screen writers to work on the sequel already.
Reynolds is talking about these characters taking over from Hal Jordan when he hangs up the ring, but is there any chance of a cameo for these two or indeed John Stewart in this first movie? Like I said, Reynolds has been quizzed on this in previous interviews and didn't rule it out, so you never know!
Official Green Lantern Movie Site Launches
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/23556.jpg
Not too much to see just yet aside from a cool logo and sound effects, but WB have launched the official site for Martin Cambell's Green Lantern..
You can check out the site by clicking on the picture below.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/8073/gllogo.jpg (http://greenlanternmovie.warnerbros.com/)
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
The film (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=23556#) stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=23556#), Mark Strong, Temurra Morrison and Angela Basset and is Directed by Martin Campbell.
The pics from Saturday night's SCREAM 2010 awards gave away what the Green Lantern's (http://www.kcsr.org/#) power battery would look like in the movie, but now (http://www.kcsr.org/#) we have a pic of the actual thing itself...

Green Lantern Concept Art of Oa - PLUS a Set Visit Video
Our friends from SlashFilm and Collider have shared some of their thoughts on the Green Lantern set visit they got back in August, including some nifty concept art of Oa.

http://www.blogcdn.com/blog.moviefone.com/media/2010/10/lantern2.jpg
A few months ago, Warner Bros. invited Moviefone to the New Orleans set of the highly anticipated adaptation of 'Green Lantern,' (http://www.moviefone.com/movie/the-green-lantern/36935/main) where we sat down with star Ryan Reynolds (http://www.moviefone.com/celebrity/ryan-reynolds/1971207/main) and Mark Strong. (http://www.moviefone.com/celebrity/mark-strong/1951103/main)
On Wednesday, Warners released its first authorized artwork, showing the gathering of the nearly 4,000 Green Lanterns (Earthling Reynolds is just one of the worthy few who wield the magic Green Lantern ring).
We can't reveal everything we learned on the set, but we can give you a tease of what to expect when the movie hits theaters in 2011.
1. Reynolds' character, Hal, has to go to boot camp to learn how to become a Green Lantern.
Oscar-winning production designer Grant Major ('The Lord of the Rings') told us, "Hal has a steep learning curve as a new Green Lantern. He has to learn to use the power and at first he's not very good, like someone picking up a guitar for the first time." Also, the ring has a limited operational life. The various Lanterns have to visit a "pocket dimension," for recharging every 24 hours.
2. The ring's "construct" can be anything Hal imagines.
The ring's power manifests itself as a physical projection, e.g, a "contstruct," based on Hal's imagination. "We didn't want the design to be very mechanical, like 'Transformers' or 'Iron Man,' where he only has one or two tools," Major said. "The constructs have a 'business end,' but are not as solid throughout. They stay green, although they look somewhat like an X-ray." Because Hal's a newbie with this ring thing, his initial constructs when fighting mostly take the form of ordinary weapons, like guns and knives.
http://www.blogcdn.com/blog.moviefone.com/media/2010/10/lantern1.jpg
3. "This movie couldn't have been done a few years ago."
Reynolds told us that the visual effects are so advanced, "it couldn't have been done even two years ago." Costume designer Ngila Dickson (another 'Lord of the Rings' Oscar winner) told us about the decision to go virtual with the Green Lantern costume. "It's a VFX costume design, partly because it's generated by the ring's power. Also because [each suit] is individual rather than a uniform," depending on who's wearing it. (The other Lanterns come in a mind-blowing range of shapes, sizes and colors.)
4. The voices of the purely CGI characters haven't yet been cast.
At the time of our set visit, no voice casting had been done for the CGI-only characters, like fish-chicken-esque alien Tomar Re and enormous, troll-like Kilowag, who acts as Hal's drill instructor during his training. We were treated to a previz (animated storyboards) with a test reel of Tomar Re using a line of dialog by Anthony Hopkins (http://www.moviefone.com/celebrity/anthony-hopkins/1689835/main) from 'The Mask of Zorro,' about the training circle. "We'd love to get Hopkins," Major said, but he's already playing Odin in another upcoming super-hero flick 'Thor.' (http://www.moviefone.com/movie/thor/30881/main)
5. Shooting in New Orleans was steamy.
Reynolds, who was on his last day of filming the day we visited, said he was looking forward to taking a break from the intense heat. "It's like we're filming inside Dick Cheney," he joked. That didn't stop co-star Peter Sarsgaard (http://www.moviefone.com/celebrity/peter-sarsgaard/1975916/main) from indulging his new obsession: jogging. Producer Donald De Line told us, "Peter is very physical as an actor. He gets completely immersed in the role. He got very thin for this. He likes to go jogging, in those barefoot shoes, even in the New Orleans heat. They had to persuade him not to jog as much as he was getting too thin."
Grant Major Explains the Inspiration for the Green Lantern Concept Art of Oa

Oscar-winner Grant Major explains the inspiration behind the designs for the Green Lantern movie!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/17014L.jpg
Two new pieces of concept art (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=24268) from the Green Lantern live-action movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BrentSprecher/news/?a=24336#) recently surfaced and now SyFy has tracked down Academy Award-winning production designer (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BrentSprecher/news/?a=24336#) Grant Major (Lord of the Rings), to find out where he came up with the ideas that inspired the designs (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BrentSprecher/news/?a=24336#) for the main city of Oa and the graveyard of fallen Green Lanterns:
"Oa, of course, is at the center of the Universe, and is also an extremely old place. It's been around since not too long after the Big Bang, I assume. And with its function as a sort of U.N.-cum-military-compound in the middle of space, you'd imagine that with 3,600 different sectors, it must have a lot of influence on a lot of different cultures and time. So what I've tried to do is to introduce a plethora of different types of architectural styles and a feeling that, over the millennia, that it's just been building on and building on [itself], and there's just this huge history of culture that's been there."
"I looked to the comics, of course [for design concepts for Oa]. I also wanted to give it a sort of broader aspect. I really wanted to make it the sort of place where, just from the glimpse that we have of it, that you'd really want to go back there and have a really big look around, and in the interest of the film, maybe give birth to subsequent films."
UPDATED: Green Lantern Trailer Description
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/25033.jpg
Here is an updated article that now has an ACTUAL DESCRIPTION of the trailer described by the person who wrote the first review/description that I posted earlier.
CBM Insert: This was sent in as a "scoop" without sourcing, so users have the ability to vote (below) to confirm or debunk this description.
They show Abin Sur crashing, then you see Hal Jordan standing over Abin, they made him look a little different than what we’ve seen in the comics and movies, instead of a mostly human shaped face, he seems to have these (for lack of a better description) what looks like curved horns pointing down from his jaw line. They’re not horns but the best way I can describe it (MrDCU: What he is referring to is the almost elastic looking way Abin's Skin is if you have seen the ComicCon pictures you know what I mean). Then they show him with the ring. There’s a scene with Hal and Carol in the locker room going back and forth a bit, Hal makes a comment about her helping him with his pants. There’s a scene with him talking to Tom about him not having fear and his friend gives him a look and he goes “yeah I know”. Another scene where Tom’s sitting on a couch and Hal goes “Check this out” and he instantly changes into his costume. Tom goes “That’s cool” Hal: “I know” Tom: ”What do we do now?” Hal shrugging: “Go fight some bad guys”. A scene where Hal makes a huge fist construct to right hook a bunch of bad guys. The construct looks solid with what seems like mist coming off of it, don’t know if they’re trying for an excess energy look…, There’s also a scene where he’s taken up to what looks like a ring in space that shoots him into hyperspace to Oa. It was a quick long shot of it, but that may be the way they are explaning what Abin Sur crashed in. They show Oa briefly. There’s a shot of Hector looking normal, then there’s also a quick shot of Hector with a bigger head.
MrDCU: I will explain some of the bits where the guy doesn't make sense. Abin Sur doesn't crash because of the hyperspace ring, he crashes because a Parallax possessed Krona attacks him when he is carrying the body of a dead Lantern (Sector 2015) to their home planet, which causes him to crash to Earth. Hal goes into hyperspace because of a fail safe in the rings where when he flies for the first time, he is automaically sent into hyperspace and to Oa for training.
Let me know what you are thinking about this trailer? I actually believe this guy and can totally see Warner Bros. promoting the film like this in the trailers because it will look so cool and also have some humour, having an almost Iron Man/RDJ appeal with Reynolds. Because if you could change costume like that, you would totally show off to your best friend.

Green Lantern Trailer - Star Sapphire Easter Egg?
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/25334.jpg
Hey guys (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25334#) - been reading here a long time and I noticed two things about the Green Lantern trailer (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25334#) that nobody seems to have noticed yet, so thought I'd do it. Want to see what you think...
To me, that flight decal on Carol's helmet looks a lot like a Star Sapphire's logo.

Also... Emotional Spectrum:

We (know/assume) that Hammond is possessed by Parallax, but is there a bit of Atrocious in there as well? Watch the trailer (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25334#) closely and you'll see his yellow eyes infected by a red ribbon.
Shot-by-Shot spread of Ryan Reynolds transforming into Green Lantern’s costume!
One hot topic of debate currently raging is whether Green Lantern’s (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25353#) CGI costume (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25353#) looks good, or just plain silly...

http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/13887/gl-transform-07.jpg
Over at Screenrant this is what they had to say about the costume
1. The Color Tones
"The colors are way too light in tone. Not every superhero outfit (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25353#) has to be “dark,” but when you think about it, it would make more sense for GL’s costume to be darker, with the green aura of the ring bearer’s will providing the light. If a Green Lantern dies, and their light fades, it would look more fitting if their uniform had a darker tone to it (the absence of light)."
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/13887/hal3.JPG
2. The Texture
"The actual “skin (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25353#)” of the outfit makes me feel like they might has well have gone with some cheap plastic/latex costume and skipped the CGI altogether. The color tones and “feel” of the outfit especially around Reynolds’ wrist and hands."
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/13887/hal5.JPG
3. The Mask
"I know in my heart and soul that there was never going to be an easy way to pull off a mask like the one Hal Jordan wears (whether it was CGI, makeup, or costume piece). However, the mask they’ve gone with strips Reynolds of virtually any chance he has of NOT looking silly."

Yeah. Saw the trailer tonight and despite liking Reynolds and wanting to like this movie I think it looks pretty stupid based on what I've seen thus far.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/7601/GL%20Transform%20Animation.gif
If you're like me, than this week was a huge week in movies (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BrentSprecher/news/?a=25383#), what with trailers for both Cowboys & Aliens and Green Lantern hitting the 'net. Already, the debate is on among many of you comic book (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BrentSprecher/news/?a=25383#) movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BrentSprecher/news/?a=25383#) fans about everything from Ryan Reynolds' seemingly comedic portrayal of Hal Jordan, to the special effects seen in the trailer, to the look of Green Lantern's (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BrentSprecher/news/?a=25383#) costume (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BrentSprecher/news/?a=25383#).
While there's nothing that can be really be said about the way Reynolds portrays Hal--c'mon, you knew you were going to get a little humor with Van Wilder (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BrentSprecher/news/?a=25383#) in the lead--and the effects are likely to go through some polishing before the movie's release, let's take a moment to analyze what's going on with Reynolds' transformation into Green Lantern.
What's immediately noticeable to comic book fans—besides the muscle tone look of the "material" of the costume, which has already been discussed at length since the first image of the costume was released--is that Reynolds' Green Lantern costume appears to be a combination of both Hal Jordan's costume and Kyle Rayner's. In the comics, Jordan wears white gloves and green boots that only come up to mid-calf, whereas the costume seen in the trailer has Rayner's green gloves and knew-high boots. What's also extremely apparent is that the costume is emanating not from Hal's ring, but seemingly from within Jordan himself. The ring sparks only at the beginning and then the energy emanates out from the Green Lantern symbol that forms on his chest. Reynolds even seems to be holding his breath or suppressing a burp, as if the costume was bubbling up from inside of him.
To me, these differences between the movie costume and the comic book costume are minor, but I know that some of you feel differently about it. Please feel free to chime in below and tell me what you like and what you don't like about the costume and the transformation sequence!
A new image of the longtime Green Lantern (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=25378#) villain features in the latest issue of the comic, as well as some words from Geoff Johns on the upcoming movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=25378#)..
It will be emerald fever around here after our first look at the Green Lantern trailer the other day. One very bizarre looking character glimpsed in said trailer was villain Hector Hammond, and thanks to an exclusive image in the latest issue of Green Lantern(59) we have another look at that swollen head!..

Does Parallax Kill Abin Sur in Green Lantern?
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/25420.jpg
Trailer (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JusticeIsBalance/news/?a=25420#) screen caps might reveal that the Fear Entity itself is responsible for Abin Sur's death!
Many people have talked about the scene in the Green Lantern trailer at 2:05 where it appears Abin Sur is flying through a "yellow wall." However, I managed to slow down the 0.7 second clip and capture still images from it.
It appears that Abin Sur is actually in the cockpit of his ship when the yellow glow throws him from his seat, crashing him through the back of his ship's bridge. If you look closely, you can see the source of all the yellow light, partially blocked by the front of the vessel. There is a definite object emitting the yellow light, as evidenced by the almost solid object, best seen in the final still.
Many people have speculated that Krona, infected by Parallax, kills Abin Sur. Could this be evidence that the Fear Entity itself performs the coup de gras?
Thoughts and comments below.

Is this Parallax from The Green Lantern Movie?
An image floating around the internets that may be the first look we have of Green Lantern (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25523#) villain Parallax...
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/parallax.jpg
Parallax is a fictional comic book (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25523#) supervillain in the DC Comics (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25523#) universe. Created by writer Ron Marz and artist Darryl Banks for Green Lantern (vol. 3) #48 (January 1994), Parallax was devised as the new supervillain identity for former Green Lantern protagonist Hal Jordan.
After further changes for the Hal Jordan character over the subsequent years (sacrificing his life in order to reignite Earth’s Sun in the 1996 crossover storyline Final Night, and Jordan’s soul subsequently became the newest host of the Spectre in the 1999 miniseries Day of Judgment), 2004's Green Lantern: Rebirth once again cast Jordan as a heroic Green Lantern and explained Jordan's villainous career as the result of the influence of an alien parasite. Furthermore, with Parallax’s exposure, the Green Lantern Corps' vulnerability to the yellow color can be conquered if a given Lantern, particularly a well-trained one, can muster his or her willpower to overcome their fear.
Despite this reintroduction of the "yellow impurity", which is now referred to as the Parallax Fear Anomaly, the power rings' (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25523#) weakness against yellow no longer applies, as experienced wielders are now able to consciously recognize its source, and overcome the fear associated with it. It is still, however, a considerable weakness for new GL recruits, who must be taught the impurity's nature and how to combat it. During training, new recruits' rings may falter at times against yellow objects, and/or when a recruit is experiencing panic or fear.
Supposedly, this is a scan taken from a comic book (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=25523#) to promote the movie, but is this pic real or not?

On What He Thinks Of The Actors' Performaces In The Movie:
"Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are so good together it is ridiculous. Peter Sarsgaard is unbelievable. People are going to draw comparisons in his performance to Heath Ledger in 'The Dark Knight.' It is just that good. Mark Strong is ridiculously great. The cast is amazing. The look of the movie is unlike anything you’ve ever seen — and it needs to be. That’s what the concept requires. I think it’s going to be really spectacular."On Why The Superman Cameo Was Cut From The Script Before Filming:
"Without trying very hard, you could probably find the leaked script on the internet. The Superman cameo is in the leaked script. It survived several drafts. Ultimately, it was cut for budgetary reasons. We took it out in one of our later drafts. After my interview with you, of course. The Clark Kent cameo is still near and dear to my heart. I really wanted it to be in the movie. You never know — it can still happen. If Tom Welling has a free hour or two, you never know."On Other Easter Eggs And Green Lanter Corps Cameos:
I think there will be plenty of Easter Eggs in the movie on other fronts. I’m a sucker for those. I’m the voice for those. I’m always thinking we can fit in that name or we can fit in that character. I’ll always do that. I can pretty much promise that Ch'p will not be in the movie. Martin’s favorite Lantern, who is in the movie, is Bzzd. The funny thing is, from our very first meeting with Martin, he came onto the project and really knew his stuff. He was able to quote Lanterns and said 'I love Bzzd' from the start. I was like, 'Okay, I guess Bzzd is in the movie.'"Although he seemingly makes that Tom Welling remark jokingly, could he have let his tongue slip and accidentily revealed that the actor is being considered for the role of the big screen Superman? Probably not, but be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
New Green Lantern Stills

New Image Of Tomar-Re From Green Lantern
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/27125.jpg
A new shot of the poultry faced member of the GL Corps has popped up online. Since we only glimpse him in the trailer, here is a better look at Tomar-Re..

Handsome fella huh? Despite some negative reaction to certain parts of the trailer(ie any bits with Ryan Reynolds (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=27125#) behaving like something from National Lampoon's Super Hero House) I think the movie will deliver. Thanks in no small part to this chap and his pals from the Green Lantern (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=27125#) Corps.

Another movie releated artwork for the Green Lantern film reveals a fan-favorite member of the Green Lantern Corps, Kilowog. Check it out!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/21739L.png
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

New Image Of Mark Strong As Sinestro Revealed At Toy Fair!
A poster at this years Toy Fair has revealed a brand new look at the villainous Green Lantern villain! PLUS: Our first look at yet another Corps member, this time in the form of Norchavius...

The newest issue of the 'Green Lantern' comic book that hits shelves tomorrow, features an exclusive movie preview giving us some new concept art of the city of Oa. The issue will also feature a write up from Adam Schlagman with pictures of him and Ivan Reis with Green Lantern power batteries as well as a picture of Geoff Johns next to Hal Jordan's plane.
Unfortunately this new picture is a little blurry so be sure to check back in tomorrow for a better scan. Also it's only some more concept art unfortunately, but at this point I'll take anything 'Green Lantern' related I can get.
The text at the bottom of the image reads:
"Concept art of Green Lantern energy rising from the central power battery through the 'Sacre Coeur' building on Oa."
'Green Lantern' On The Cover Of Wizard Magazine.
This issue of Wizard Magazine featured 'Green Lantern' on the cover, and the article inside gave us some insight on the creation of Parallax for the film, as well as what thought went into the process of creating the Green Lantern universe...
'Green Lantern' was featured on the cover of this issue of Wizard Magazine with a few pages of information inside.
The interviewee discusses their process for creating the movies villain, Parallax, and the obstacles with bringing a character like this onto the big screen. He also gives us some insight on the process of creating the Green Lantern universe and staying as true to the source material as possible.
Thanks to our very own user TorturedXGenius for the HQ scans, they're way better than my cell phone pictures lol.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/26320/2lnv409.jpg
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/26320/o0yzcp.jpg
Based on John's famous interpretation of the demon that once possessed Hal Jordan in 2004's Green Lantern:Rebirth, Parallax was publicly outed as the villain of the movie by Reynolds at San Diego Comic-Con. Designing the amorphous embodiment of the yellow parrt of the emotional sprectrum a.k.a the fear demon that threatens to destroy the Green Lanterns' willpower, left Major and his crew reeling in terror.
"Yea we were channelling fear for that one" Major says laughing.
"The thing that took longest to design is Parallax. Given that he needs to be able to talk to Green Lantern face to face. A. He needs a face; B. He needs to be of a certain size, you cant talk to Mt. Everest. He needs to be that (manageable)size, but then he also consumes planets. It needs to perform various tasks, it is a parasite that is almost made of the yellow energy of the emotional sprectrum. It represents the part of the emotional spectrum. So it had to have the sort of personality to it, and it had to be photogenic as well. We did sort of channel this idea of mustard gas, and not a bright yellow, a dark dirty ominous yellow"
They then went on to discuss the universe they created with the 'Green Lantern' and making sure that it was believable, and close to the source material for the fans:
"A great comic book movie like Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight', instead of a not so great comic book movie like Joel Schumacher's 'Batman & Robin' is how respectfully the filmmakers treat the source material, so Major anointed his team as real-life guardians of Oa.
"It's an exercise in making sure we're making this for the fans, the people who know the book really really well," says Major. "To make this look real, we've got to believe in Hal Jordan, to believe that he can discover these powers. We've got to believe in so doing that he can be in a place like Oa. Everythings got to be tangible, everything has got to obey the principles of physics even though it's in a distant part of the universe."
On the films creatures and environment:
"In terms of the creatures we produced, the source of most out ideas came from looking at the more bizarre kind of envirionments and aspects on the Earth. Like deep see things, and just wild kind of places on Earth that do have extradordinary kind of primal things going on."
And on the architecture of Oa:
"As for the planet's architecture, I wanted to get away from the idea that the main city of Oa was desgined by one architect for one artist in one period of time. Just trying to give it a lot of depth by bring in a lot of time periods and alien sort of aesthetic to the whole thing. The comics themselves have just right out there brilliant designed pieces, but I wanted to do both, I wanted to satisfy Geoff Johns and the fans, but to bring in some Grant Major and some of the other concept designer's thoughts into the and make it bigger. When you think of an alien landscape, they want to have sort of and iconic feel to it, where the image of it imprints as a sense of place."
Mark Strong Talks Sinestro Plus 2 New (Low Res) Stills From Green Lantern
Strong speaks about playing the red skinned CORPS member that will eventually become Hal Jordan's greatest enemy. We also have a couple of new pics. Don't get too excited, they are low res and pretty boring!..
Mark Stronghttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=31130#) will play Sinestro in Martin Cambpell's Greem Lanter, but he will also be portraying another extra terrestrial in Andrew Stanton'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=31130#) John Carter Of Mars..
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/sinestro2.jpg
"Basically I've been doping this for 25 years, never played an alien, then like buses 2 come along at once!
Like Sinestro, Matai Shang will require heavy prosthetics and also CGI. So how does Strong go about breathing life into them through his performance?..
"Like all characters, you have to draw from within to make them realistic. People have to relate to them. It's all about protecting the universe, but there's also a kind of arrogance about Sinestro."
As we have heard, Sinestro will not play the bad guy in this movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=31130#), merely a grumpy bastard! But we know he will eventually be seduced by power and become evil..
"He just cannot believe that human shave a place in the Corps. They are the weak link in the universe. So consequently when the ring passes to Hal Jordon Sinestro cannot deal with it. By the end, Hal earns Sinestro's grudging respect."
Strong also reveals that he wore platform boots when portraying Sinestro as this incarnation of the character will stand at over six foot seven.
Right, here are those pics courtesy of Empire. Try to contain yourselves!

Ryan Reynolds Talks About The Green Lantern's Costume.
EmpireOnline has given us a preview of their on-set interview with Ryan Reynoldshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Dustin03Comics/news/?a=31189#) and Martin Campbell in which Reynolds defends the films (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Dustin03Comics/news/?a=31189#) suit and says “The suit is powered specifically on his will, his emotion, his creativity and his imagination. I love that.”...
Empire Magazine this month features an article on 'Green Lantern' and the Empire website offers us a small glimpse of their on-set interview with Ryan Reynolds and director Martin Campbell in which they defend (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Dustin03Comics/news/?a=31189#) the different direction the movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Dustin03Comics/news/?a=31189#) has decided to go with Hal's suit.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/26320/3%20%281%29.jpg
“It has to be virtual rather than spandex,” says Reynolds, wearing his grey sensor suit. “This is a suit from an alien planet.”
“It’s not The Dark Knight – I don’t put the suit on and my voice drops several octaves,” adds Reynolds, unfazed by the absence of green tights. “The suit is powered specifically on his will, his emotion, his creativity and his imagination. I love that.”
“Everything Hal creates are images from his childhood,” he goes on. “Or things fuelled specifically from his own mind.”
GREEN LANTERN: Stel revealed?
CBMer research turns up another potential Lantern?
In the recent article of Green Lanternhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=31748#) merchandise, people got to see a new Green Lantern not revealed before, Stel. I've been seeing many comments on people diliking the toy because they want it to look like a terminator-robot-like machine. I know that in the toy's description it says that the toy was based off early concept, so i decided to do a little investigating on it. I went to the Green Lantern site and started to look at the aliens they had in the wallpaper and i saw the backside of a Green Lantern member. Look at the one that is next to Ryan Reynoldshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/green_lantern/news/?a=31748#) in the bottom. His back to me looks robotic.
http://www.arts-wallpapers.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2011-Green-Lantern-Movie-Wallpaper-Desktop-HD-1920x1080.jpg
I then found the Dc Direct toy of Stel and I've decided that this alien can be Stel.

New 'Green Lantern' Banner.
Click here to check out this new banner for 'Green Lantern' which is basically the full wide shot of the poster that was released yesterday...
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax... he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

KAPOW: Detailed Description And Review Of Green Lantern Movie Footage!
Yesterday, those of us lucky to get into the packed out Green Lantern panel were treated to nearly ten minutes of footage from the Warner Bros. blockbuster! Check out my take on it here...
After being shown the previously released trailer for the Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters video game and animated movie, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (review to follow here on CBM tomorrow) those of us in attendance were lucky enough to see the footage which was shown at WonderCon a couple of weeks ago. Rather than describe the whole thing again, I thought it would be best to instead share my thoughts on the footage, especially as it contained what appeared to be even better CGI than the four minute trailer we saw last Saturday.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/KapowGreenLantern.jpg
***** POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD! *****
Now, about that improved CGI. It would appear that Warner Bros. have continued to work on it since the above mentioned trailer was released. This was perhaps most noticeable with Hal's mask, possibly one of the most criticized aspects of the pictures and footage released so far. Rather than looking as if it's floating on top of Ryan Reynolds' face, it now looks perfectly fine and far more natural. The suits also seem to have been touched up, with the fact they're energy constructions from the ring made more obvious by the flares sparking off of them, along with more movement behind the symbol on each suit.
The first scene shown, featured Abin Sur being attacked by Parallax (in a surprisingly brief, yet exciting, fight scene) followed by his death in front of Hal Jordan. While he's an important part of the Green Lantern mythos, it's worth noting that his role in the movie appears to be as brief as it was in the comic books. Regardless, seeing Ryan Reynolds' performance as Hal in his failed attempt to help the dying alien should be more than enough to put fans minds to ease when it comes to the actor putting aside his usually comedic take on the characters he plays. (was Buried not enough?) That's not to say that there's no humour at all in his performance. It's just not as obvious and over the top as some expected it would be. From here, we saw a slightly extended version of him delivering the oath after activating the lantern and his first flight into outer space.
What was most interesting about seeing this sequence was that Hal's face appeared to be bloody and bruised, making me wonder whether it actually takes place after his fight with the three guys (and possible first experimentation with the ring) that we caught a glimpse of in the trailer released last year. Of course, his face is blemish free when he arrives on Oa and meets Geoffrey Rush's Tomar-Re, once again leaving me scratching my head about the actual order that these scenes took place in. Tomar welcomes Hal to Oa and explains in further detail his role as a member of the Corps as well as the fact that he is the first human to wield a ring. Rush’s voice is perfectly suited to such a character and there is some great chemistry between the two despite the fact that Reynolds and Rush probably never even met during filming. This chemistry is evident when Hal is caught posing in his new suit and a few minutes later when he points out the aliens close resemblance to a fish.
From here, we were shown the longer version of Sinestro’s address to the Corps. It’s fair to say that this is a very powerful scene. The CGI once again appears to have been improved, specifically with Mark Strong, who now looks far more natural and believable, as with Hal’s mask as I pointed out above. When Sinestro points out that no one will be able to replace Abin Sur, several of the Corps turn to look at Hal, but it was so brief a flash, it’s hard to tell whether this was out of curiosity or a mixture of resentment and doubt toward the human Green Lantern. The footage wrapped up with a series of brief scenes from the film (most of which have now been revealed in the trailer or TV spots) and I can’t find fault with any of them. The action looks great as does the CGI.
With that, the panel came to a close. The footage was very well received by the audience, with laughs in all of the moments you would expect and a huge round of applause and cheers when it came to an end. While the fact that Warner Bros. chose to release four minutes of what we saw into a compressed trailer may mean that only half of what was shown was new to those of us lucky to be in attendance, I was still extremely impressed by the whole thing as well as what I believe were improved visual effects. The performances of the actors I’ve mention above, and the downright amazing looking space and action scenes lead me to believe that both Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger (and even Fox’s X-Men: First Class) may face some stiff competition when it comes to the best comic book movie of 2011.

Michael Clarke Duncan Now In Negotiations to Voice Green Lantern's Kilowog!
Official word is out that Daredevil actor Michael Clarke Duncan is set to lend his voice for 'Kilwog' in Warner Bros' Green Lantern movie, before, only being rumored. Check out!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/larwefnbanner.png
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/e3rgrg.pngOnly rumored (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=34070) a few weeks ago, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that The Green Mile & Daredevil actor Michael Clarke Duncan has reached a deal with Warner Bros., to voice Kilowog in Martin Campbell's Green Lantern adaption.
Michael Clarke Duncan is in negotiations to voice the character of Kilowog in Warner Bros.’s Green Lantern movie. While studios sometimes end up moving on, sources say Duncan received his offer Tuesday and is now negotiating.
Following the news of the first voice actor announced, Geoffrey Rush for the bird-like alien Tomar-Re, Duncan has notably provided his voice for Quiznos commercials, several video games, as well as the Kingpin in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series. While we've spotted the brutish Kilowog in the trailer, what do you think of his voice actor? Perfect casting in my opinion.
Anyhow, starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong, Peter Sarsgaard, Tim Robbins and Angela Bassett, look for Green Lantern in theaters June 17, in 3D!
Blake Lively Talks In-Depth About Carol Ferris' Role In Green Lantern!
The actress talks in detail about the character of Carol Ferris and how she landed the role, while also commenting on bringing her to life on the big screen, her favourite things about Green Lantern and more...
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, the actress discussed in great detail her role as Carol Ferris in Green Lantern, and below are some of the best bits. To read the article in its entirety, click on the link below to head on over to the site.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/chsdsa.jpg
On How She Would Compare Carol Ferris To The Likes Of Mary Jane Watson:
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/carfre.jpg<She’s very untraditional in the fact that she is head-to-head with Hal, and the fact that they are always challenging each other was something was really nice – she’s not waiting for him to save her. There are times where he experiences weakness where she has to come in and save him, and I think that that’s a little more like real life. It’s nice to see that in a comic book film when there’s a hero, he’s the hero and he saves the world and he saves the people he loves, but the fact that other people can be heroes too is pretty cool.
On Landing The Role In The Movie:
The way that this movie came to me was that I had made “The Town” with Warner Bros. and they saw footage and they said to me, “We want you to look at ‘Green Lantern’.” I still had to audition for it, but it was really nice for me that this was a studio that wasn’t looking for some girl to have her legs greased up and her boobs out and that’s all that mattered. All I did was screen test with Ryan once and it was more about seeing the chemistry between Hal and Carol and to see if we could spar against each other and have that rivalry and that tension, but also that kindness and care.
On The Most Important Things About Portraying Carol Ferris:
She’s a very strong woman, a businesswoman; she inherits her father’s aviation company. She’s also militant – she’s a fighter pilot – but she’s also very caring and kind. She has this relationship with Hal, they’re each other’s first love, they’ve known each other since they were children. She also witnessed his father’s death with him, so there’s that history. Also, keeping in mind the fact that she becomes a villain, you have to have those kinds of teeth apparent in the beginning so it makes sense that her arc goes there. So there are a lot of different levels to play with her. But I really appreciated not being the damsel in distress.
On What She Likes Most About The Green Lantern Universe:
I really love that Hal wasn’t a super man; he is just a man. He’s somebody who inherits great responsibility, but you’re not really sure he wants it. The fact that he had reservations about being the person responsible for saving planet Earth, the fact that he had weaknesses – his father was taken from him, he was a person with great potential, but was broken and guarded, I loved that, because not everyone is a hero. And without Ryan there would have been no Hal Jordan – he’s somebody who could be incredibly intimidating and super, and he’s incredibly talented and intelligent, but he’s also very humble and kind and witty and charming. To relay all of those emotions he’s a very human super man. And I loved that about Ryan, I loved that about Green Lantern. And also the fact that he is weak – he looks to people around him for support, whether it’s his nephew or Carol, because people do need each other, I thought that was beautiful.

Angela Bassett Speaks Briefly On Her 'Amanda Waller' Portrayal In Green Lantern!
The actress behind Dr. Amanda Waller in Warner Bros' Green Lantern film, Angela Basset speaks on role's involvement in the film, hopeful expansion in sequels, and more. Check it!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/larwefnbanner.png
Promoting her recent flick Jumping The Broom with Cinema Blend, Oscar-nominated actress Angela Bassett speaks shortly on her 'Dr. Amanda Waller' role in the Martin Campbell-directed Green Lantern film, the character's involvment, and more.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/bassett4k5mg.png"Well, I’m not 300 pounds," Bassett started, referring to the way that the character is drawn in the comics. Asking about her portrayal of the character, she said that she's actually "not heavily involved in the first movie," but does hope that she will develop more in the sequels. That said, in describing the character she says that she has "That intellectual, that bright, that no-nonsense, that means business [personality]. [She's] getting it done and in the trenches nothing fazes her."
When confirmation came of the character appearing in the film, many instantly assumed Warner Bros. was opening the opportunity for crossover films, that would eventually lead to a Justice League film. But with recent news of Green Lantern's star Ryan Reynolds assuring he won't be involved with that project, the same may go to Bassett's Dr. Amanda Waller. What do you think?
New Image Of Great Hall Of Oa And List Of Corps Who Will Appear In Green Lantern!
The latest Green Lantern comic contains a new still of the Great Hall of Oa which was first glimpsed in the WonderCon footage as well as a brief list of the main Corps who will feaure in the movie...
Hal Jordan is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Warner Brothers Upping Green Lantern's Special FX Budget
With the release date less then two months away Warner Brother has given more money to fix the special FX in the highly anticipated Green Lantern movie.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/22178/green-lantern-movie-poster-73884-320-473.jpgWith the scrutiny of the first trailer and the release date rapidly approaching Warner Brothers has decided to up Green Lantern's VFX budget by another 9 million dollars. There is no worry that this will affect the release date of the film and WB are shrugging off that there are any problems with the film.
Says Chris De Faria, Warner's executive VP of digital production:
"There is no problem on Green Lantern. We try to add things to make the movie better until the 11th hour. That doesn't mean we're risking the movie up to the 11th hour."
Sony Imageworks and Rising Sun Pictures are the primary special FX companies working of the film and according to Variety's source they are delivering on time. De Faria has also stated that one sequence that was entirely CG had been cut in the development of the film, but after the studio saw an early cut of the film it was added back in and that Pixomondo was hired to complete the scene.
Green Lantern is scheduled to come out on June 17, 2011

Possible Huge Spoilers For Green Lantern Revealed!
Some incredibly revealing spoilers about Green Lantern have been posted online detailing everything from the constructs we'll see to moments taken directly from the comic books, hints at the future of the franchise, easter eggs and more...
Thanks to a heads-up from CBM's own, TheBlackWidow (aka, Twitter's @Zarina_Romanoff) we have the following spoilers which were posted on the SHH Forums by "protocida". As usual, take something like this with a huge grain of salt, but they certainly fit in with what we've heard before and as I'm sure you'll agree, sound pretty damned amazing!
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/newglposter.jpg-The Star Sapphire crystal will appear.
-There's a reference to "the prophecy" in the Book of Oa. Probably refering to the war between the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps.
-The ring speaks. When Hal first uses it, it says "Voice signature identified. Willpower registed. Ring online."
-Kilowog's power ring makes a cannon-like "BOOM" sound, like in the comic books.
-Hal's constructs include a gattling gun, a giant green hand, a dune buggy, an anti-aircraft gun, a F-18 jet, a sword, giant pulleys and much more.
-Sinestro's trademark weapon is a double-edged Korugarian spear. He also makes a construct of Kilowog at one point.
-The Guardians live in high towers near the Great Hall of Oa. Krona's tower is slightly toppled as a sign of his corruption at Parallax's hands.
-During a battle scene, Hal's and Sinestro's power ring run out of energy, and Sinestro tells Hal to summon his battery from the pocket dimension. Hal says he doesn't know how to do it, and Sinestro asks him if Kilowog never taught him that. Hal says no and Sinestro gruffs before him and Hal unite their rings, opening a small wormhole from where Sinestro pulls his battery. Him and Hal both recharge on it. This is taken almost word-by-word from Geoff Johns' "Secret Origin.
-During the final battle, Parallax tries to possess Hal, but fails. In the process, Hal has a vision of the future, where Coast City has been destroyed and he is the one to blame.
-Hector Hammond tries to steal Hal Jordan's power ring, believing that it can cure his mutation, just as Parallax arrives. It consumes Hammond and tries to use the ring's energy, but fails and then tries to use Hal as a weapon to tap into the nearly unlimited powers of the Green Light of Willpower.
With an all star cast which includes Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, Blake Lively as Carol Ferris and Mark Strong as Sinestro, director Martin Campbell's Green Lantern is set to be released in 3D on June 17, later this year!

Hidden Detail In Latest Green Lantern Trailer Reveals MAJOR SPOILER!
Seemingly not spotted before now, I came across the following moment in the recent Green Lantern trailer which reveals a pretty huge spoiler about the fate of one of the characters...
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!
There have been many complaints about the various Green Lantern trailers, mainly about some less than perfect CGI. Well, while everyone was worrying about the shape of Hal Jordan's mask, it would appear we missed one very important detail. Check out the following screengrab and scroll down for a pretty big spoiler...
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/28959L.jpg
Take a close look at the dead body. Then take an even closer look at the shape of the head. See what I'm talking about? Yeah, that's Hector Hammond alright. And I'm guessing that Hal is reaching for the ring we saw the villain putting on in one of the TV Spots. It's rather shocking that in the days of fans taking hi-res screengrabs and what not, Warner Bros would include such a thing in a theatrical trailer. Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!

Click here to check out a brand new poster for Martin Campbell's Green Lantern featuring a rather villainous looking Hector Hammond...
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Mark Strong Talk In Detail About Sinestro; Reveals Minor Green Lantern Spoilers!
The British actor talks about the fight between Hal Jordan and Sinestro in the movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=37322#), reveals whether we see any indications of him becoming a villain as well as plans for the character in the sequel and much more...
To read the full interview on MySpace, where the actor talks even more about his role as Sinestro including the make-up and blue screen effects used in Green Lantern, simply click on the link at ohe bottom of the page to head on over to the site. Many thanks to CBM's "TheBlackWidow" for the heads up!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/sinestromark.jpgOn The Voice He Uses As Sinestro:
I'm trying to keep it rooted and doing an English accent, because, you know, we can all communicate through the ring, so it theoretically doesn't matter how you speak, but that's another thing that in my very long answer I was trying to get across which is the idea that I'm trying to create a guy that's worthy of this look. You know, you can’t sort of walk around in a normal and talk in a normal way. It's not quite as effective as giving it some weight, so I'm trying to just use my own kind of base tones and give him a strong voice.
On Whether We See The Beginning Of Sinestro's Descent Into Evil:
I mean, he's an alien, you know, and in the movie, you have to decide, as an actor, how you're going to give a character like that presence. You can't really move and walk and talk like yourself. It's not enough -- you know, this creates something, so you have to find something of that, and so any back story and all of that is always useful, and the knowledge that Sinestro goes where he goes to is useful. But I'm trying not to foreshadow it.
But, having said all of that, he has a kind of a presence which is undeniably strong, so you -- what I'm trying to create is he goes to the dark side, not because he's inherently evil, but because he is a kind of control freak, a bit dictatorial militaristic guy who wants to keep order, so, for him, all that happens is that just -- you know, it's like a revolving circle.
I think that probably prefigures, and you will see in there that he's a guy that you don’t mess with who could easily go the other way.
On Whether He's Hesitant To Explore Sinestro's Dark Side In Future Movies:
No, I have to say, all these villains, they're all great parts. I just want to play them, you know. I can't imagine myself sitting at home going, no, that's too many villains, no. I'm going to sit at home and wait for a musical or something.
They're just too interesting to play, and, anyway, you know, I love Sinestro in this first one, because what you get is a sense of a man who is in control of this incredible corps that has an immense amount of strength and confidence and arrogance, but nevertheless has a grudging respect by the end of the movie for this new Lantern.
On The Fight Between Hal Jordan And Sinestro Glimpsed In The Trailer:
Well, it's fascinating, because you can't just rely on the traditional methods of weapon fighting like you do in most movies. You've now got imagination coming into play, and the fight with Hal is really interesting, because the constructs -- we also decided -- Sinestro, because he's so evolved, basically used constructs for the whole fight.
But there was a decision taken we that wanted to get physical, you know, just get in there and get physical, and, ironically, Hal's constructs are very earthbound. They’re very naïve. They're very new Lantern, you know, very--he might--he could create anything. He just comes up with swords and guns you know, so it’s fascinating. They have this fight which is a mixture of, you know, physical fighting, sword fighting and also evolving constructs, and we rehearsed that as you do a normal fight, and you just imagine those constructs when you're throwing them at each other.
On Whether He'll Be Back For The Sequel:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very much so. I think that was always the deal. That, if it was successful, that there is such a vast amount of source material, that there's plenty of storylines they can investigate.
Massive Interview With Ryan Reynolds Talking In-Depth About Green Lantern!
The actor talks about being cast as Hal Jordan, the humour in the movie, similarities between this character and Deadpool, working with a CGI Kilowog as well as Mark Stronghttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=37328#) and Peter Sarsgaard, the future direction of the franchise plus more...
While the embargo on this interview (conducted on the set of Green Lantern a few months ago) isn't supposed to be lifted until Tuesday, MySpace have jumped the gun and released it today! Below are some of the main highlights, but click on the link below to read more.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/greenjordan.jpgOn What He Knew About The Character Before Being Cast:
You know, I knew of The Green Lantern. I wasn't versed in it, you know, like Geoff Johns or anyone like that. I just, I mean, I knew he was an ordinary guy who was bequeathed a ring by a dying alien. It, you know, shot lasers out of it or something like that, so, beyond that, I wasn't that familiar with it, so I think I was most startled to find out how vast the universe is. I mean, that it really does -- you know, I know Geoff Johns likened it to the Star Wars of the DC Universe, and it really does feel like that. I mean, the scope is the thing that blew my mind. I couldn't believe it when I made that discovery, and I met Martin like I was meeting on any other movie.
On The Movie Version Of Hal Jordan:
We're not playing him as a fearless guy at all. Hal Jordan's -- the reason that the ring chose Hal Jordan was because he has an ability to overcome fear, and he's as baffled by this decision that these cosmic entities have made as anyone. I mean, he doesn’t understand why he was chosen. He's afraid to admit he's afraid, and that's -- you know, that's kind of his challenge throughout the film.
It's finding that footing and finding that ability to overcome it, and that's what's deep within him. That's the reason why he becomes the greatest Green Lantern of all, because fearlessness is insanity. Courage is an amazing trait. It's noble, it's, you know -- it's a virtue that everyone wants, so that's what it is that he has to find within himself. So, he's one of those guys that is trying to be fearless when we meet him, and we realize that he's going in the exact wrong direction.
On The Similarities Between Hal Jordan And Deadpool:
Well, yeah, Deadpool just lives for that. I mean, you know, it's just finding that tone. I mean, I always saw the guy as Han Solo crossed with Chuck Yeager. He just feels kind of like that. You know, he's the guy that -- you know, he's not funny, but he's witty, you know, and his wit is more of a self-defense mechanism than anything else. So he's skilled at avoidance in every way, so--and anyone's who's skilled at that, and I should know, can, you know, divert, you know, somebody's focus and attention to--you know, with humor, with, like, you know, a sort of off-handed remark or something like that, so he's really good at that. You know, he's quick with his mouth, but, you know, he's not, like, making jokes or anything like that. You know, there's no moment in the film where I feel like there's a ‘ba-dum-bum’ moment. That’s just how I put it.
On His Scenes With The CGI Aliens:
We have a guy that is six foot eight. His thighs are bigger than my life. He's like -- he's huge! And he's just a great reference, so he's got this big barreling voice, and I don’t even know if that's the voice they're going to use, but he's kind of a good reference. And we have a Tomar-Re, and we have some of the other lanterns that are all kind of there with me, so I'm able to talk to them and reference them, but, later on, they're going to look much different.
On Peter Sarsgaard's Portrayal Of Hector Hammond And His Relationship With Hal Jordan:
Well, Peter's great. Peter's obviously an incredibly capable actor, but I think Peter captures the one thing that makes every great screen villain great, and that's that he just fully owns every second of it. And I think -- this is something that I think a lot of people pick up on early on that do it well, in addition to Peter, is that they understand that villains aren't intentionally evil. They have just opposing convictions. And that's all it is, and so there's no mustache twisting or any of that kind of crap. It’s borne of something very real, but kind of vulnerable, so it was tough, you know, because Peter's -- he's Hal Jordan's foe in this, but, in our mythology, they've known each other their whole lives.
And there's a lot of empathy mixed in when I look at this guy, and I think you feel that 'til the end of the movie. THAT to me is something that Peter brought to it that was not on the page, and that's something that's so important. You know, even when we're battling, there's a regret with Hal Jordan and Green Lantern that he doesn't want to do this, you know.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/thealiensof.jpgOn Mark Strong As Sinestro:
Yeah, there's a great tip of the hat or a nod to, you know, what could be forthcoming from these two guys. But Mark is a very generous actor, and he's also just incredibly good in every moment. There's never a moment where -- you know, we're talking to each other on an alien planet, and he's purple, and he has a crazy widow's peak, and, you know, there's a moment where you can catch yourself and say, this is ridiculous!
But, as soon as you start to converse with him, and you look into his eyes, it's pretty magical. You know, he's right there. He's that character, and you sink or swim. It's pretty fantastic, so they hired well. I felt like across the board, they really just did a good job of that, and Mark and I have a lot of fun working together.
But there was a great moment when we started shooting, too, which is the first time he and I kind of meet and square off, and it's a great moment. It's just one of those moments where I'm on Oa for the first time, and there's this guy, and I'm looking at him, and there's immediately a kind of unspoken friction between these two that is very watchable, and that was something that I was glad about. And that's a chemistry thing. That's something that they didn’t plan for, either.
On Coming Back As Hal Jordan For Future Green Lantern Movies:
You know, I think there's a lot to mine out of it. I mean, if you do a second and third -- but you don’t want to just say we're doing a second and third one, because the first one has to work. That's the mission, and that's the job in front of everybody.
But, the second one, I'll tell you, man, whether it's Martin Campbell directing it or somebody else, we inherit a ton of answers, and that's the biggest thing you get out of it. I mean, you know, you start work, and now, we know what Hal Jordan looks like. We know what The Green Lantern looks like, you know, so that's really exciting. All these guys look like. How they fly, how they move, how they interact with one another. There's so many answers that the second production gets. You know, you almost feel like you get a six-month head start, and that's going to be amazing, but in terms of, like, the larger DC Universe, I'd love to see a Justice League movie.
On Where He Sees The Franchise Going In Future:
And then, you know, barring that, you know, you do another one after that, and then you could see this going well beyond Hal Jordan and to the other Green Lanterns and, you know, "The Fall of Hal" and, you know, dispensing with him and then bringing on Guy Gardner or Kyle Rayner or some of those guys.
Mark Strong Talks Green Lantern On Set.
New, raw interview with Mark Strong from Collider about the upcoming summer blockbusterhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Sector2814/news/?a=37449#) GreenLanternhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Sector2814/news/?a=37449#). The interveiw was done by Steve Weintraub at the last day of filming.
http://www.filmbuffonline.com/FBOLNewsreel/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/MarkStrong.jpg
In August of 2010, on the last day of principal photography, the main man over at Collider.com, Steve Weintraub got to visit the set of Green Lantern and talked with one of the greatest villains in DC universe, Sinestro/Mark Strong.
Some highlights:
"His hair in the movie was a two-piece prosthetic that covered the top part of his forehead. About 4 hours to apply the makeup. Strong is committed to do Green Lantern sequels. He didn’t know Green Lantern well but Geoff Johns put him in the right direction and now he is slightly addicted to Green Lantern. When doing acting infront of a blue screen he uses his theater background. On stage, you know everything is fake so you are creating an illusion, so he tried to bring the same mindset to working with CGI. His absolute favorite construct were the blades used in the fight with Hal. The fight was rehearsed with physical swords and they had to mimic the contructs."
If you wanna hear the interview, head to the link!
As Strong met Weintraub, his boots and headpiece were too apperant to not ask about to which Strong replied:
"Yeah, these are to make him…they are all specific heights and he needs to be six foot seven. The reason they are kind of wide and staggered is because when we did the fight scene they needed to be, you know, so I didn’t fall or anything and do my ankle. So these glorious discos boots and this suit is what I wear."
It’s two pieces of prosthetic. One sits on top like a hat and the other is kind of at the front to make the brow and it comes around over the side here. So my real head is in there somewhere a little bit lower than this."
The makeup itself takes about 4 hours to complete!
On what Strong knew about the mythos of Green Lantern coming on the project:
"I didn’t really know The Green Lantern. Growing up in England, Marvel and DC weren’t really our kind of comic. We had a very different kind of comic. But I started to read it and I emailed Geoff Johns and asked him about it. He put me in the right direction with Rebirth and Secret Origins. I started there and I basically got slighted addicted to it. I mean, I know my sector is “sector 1417”, which I wowed Geoff with the other day. He couldn’t quite believe it. But I didn’t know very much, but it’s such rich source material. Once you start, it’s hard to pull out."
Most of us already know about Sinestro going rogue in the comics. Regarding Sintestro's darkside in this installment, Strong commented:
"He is an alien, you know? In the movie, you have to decide as an actor how you are going to give a character like that presence. You can’t really move, walk, and talk like yourself. This creates something so you have to find something “other”. So any back-story and all of that is always useful. The knowledge that Sinestro goes to where he goes to is useful, but I am trying not to foreshadow it. But having said all of that, he has a kind of presence, which is undeniably strong. So what I am trying to create is that he goes to the dark side not because he is inherently evil, but because he is a kind of control freak. He is a dictatorial militaristic guy who wants to keep order. So for him, all that happens is that just tips over into him keeping the people in his sector under his thumb. He decides that even the Lantern Corps are no longer worthy. So he goes off and forms his own corps in order to kind of perversely attack the Lanterns to try and make them better than they are. But he loves the corps and he is the greatest Green Lantern. I am trying to just give him a presence and weight that is worthy of that. I think that probably prefigures and you will see in there that he is a guy that you don’t mess with, and who can easily go the other way."
On creating a character:
"Well, first of all, you create the character yourself like you do normally. So, as an actor, I am aware of his character traits, the physicality of the prosthetic, and the lines he is speaking. You know, he is talking about a corps that has protected millions of worlds for countless of millennia. These are massive concepts. I’m trying as an actor to incorporate all of that and use the physicality of the prosthetics and everything to kind of….I don’t know. It’s almost Shakespearean. That is the best way I can describe it. It’s like when you are in a theater, and you are playing on a stage, and you need to fill a room. The best way I can describe it is that we were always taught that you don’t gesture like you do in normal life. When you gesture, you did this and that, you know? To actually lift your arms and gesture properly when you are saying something is much more powerful and stronger. There is a scene in which I have a speech to all of the Lanterns, and I just try to use a bit of that. It’s not naturalistic, but I think the whole thing will work together to give a strong character. That is my hope anyway."
When asked about working in front of a blue, he had this to say:
"They are all in space. They are all on OA. They are all, for better or worse, in a big blue room. But what is really interesting about that is that you would think that it might be unusual, but actually it’s not. For me, I don’t know how other actors feel about it, but coming from the theater you know it’s not real. You can see the front couple of rows of the audience and you can see the lights, you know? You walk off stage and there is a props table and one of the stage managers standing there with a clipboard. You know it’s not real. So what you are doing is creating an illusion. You are walking out on stage and encouraging people to believe that by nature of the story and your characterization that something is taking place that they can lose themselves in. It works in theater and, for me, it’s the same here. I don’t need the stuff there to imagine it. What is really useful, though, is that there are drawings and models around that you can always go and refer to. That gives you a sense of the space. For example, if you are giving a speech to the Lanterns it helps you with the space you are in. But it’s all imagination. So, ironically, it’s not that different."
There is a battle scene with Hal(Reynolds) where Sinestro and Hal are making constructs. About how that was filmed:
"Well, it’s fascinating because you can’t just rely on the traditional methods of weapon fighting like you do in most movies. You now got imagination coming into play. The fight with Hal is really interesting because of the constructs. I think originally Sinestro, because he is so evolved, basically only used constructs for the whole fight, but there was a decision taken where we wanted to get physical. You know, just get in there and get physical. Ironically, Hal’s constructs are very earthbound. They are very naïve and “new Lantern”, you know? Bearing in mind that he could create anything he tends to just come up with swords and guns. So it’s fascinating. They have this fight, which is a mixture of physical sword fighting and it also involves constructs. We rehearsed that as you do a normal fight and you just imagine those constructs when you are throwing them at each other."
On his favorite construct:
"Ironically, it’s probably the simplest, which are the blades that I choose to fight him with. There is a line that we put in where he throws out this sword since it is the first thing he can think of to fend himself with and I say, “Swords? How human.” and I get two of them. Suddenly, he has two, and you can see Hal thinking, “I didn’t think to get two!"
About the art direction and overall space theme, Strong found it all to be amazing:
"All of it. You see all of that production art and all of it is mind blowing. The citadel where the guardians live in is just an incredible idea. They are all around you like some sort of upside down spider or something, and they are all at the top. Where the central battery is located in that big cave where the Lanterns are all called for the meeting just looks amazing. I’ve seen little bits of footage of the constructs being thrown. You know, early ideas for jet engines and things. For example, the way that Tomar-re lands. He lands in an individual way due to the way he looks. The way I or Hal flies is slightly different. The whole world of space and getting your head around on how you are going to use it has been really fascinating."
On the relationship between Sinestro and Hal:
"Everyday I go to work with Ryan I am kind of blown away by how perfect he is to play this part. The more that I find out about The Green Lantern; the more that I realize that he has a fantastic combination of strength, good looks, and a hero kind of power about him. But he has this flipside as well, which he can turn on and make you laugh. He has a vulnerability about him as well, which I think suits Hal Jordan perfectly. The other day, we had a scene, which gets very heavy. There is a way that some of the stories are written in the comics where there are very heavy notions of things being said, and there is also intergalactic stuff going on. To have somebody who can just pull the rug from under that, undermine it, and make you laugh is such a clever and good idea. He is rather brilliant at that. For example, there is a moment where I am probably at my most serious and the stakes are at their highest he just comes up with a line that brilliantly turns everything on its head. In Shakespeare, for example, immediately before the Duke of Clarence is drowned in the Malmsey butt in Richard III by these two murderers in this horrific scene – the scene immediately before is a comedy scene. It’s these two murderers stumbling around in the dark going, “Oh, I think I got an attack of conscious. I don’t know. Can you do it?” They are kind of riffing off each other and it’s funny. Then, the scene immediately after with his death is therefore twice as disturbing. I think what Ryan brings is the fact that you can see his vulnerability, and the fact that he has that twist of humor, which makes all of the kind of superhero stuff even more impressive."
If he had any hesitancy about taking this role knowing that down the road he might turn to the bad side:
"No. I have to say that all of these villains are great parts. I just want to play them, you know? I can’t imagine myself sitting at home going, “No! That is too many villains now. I’m going to sit at home and wait for a musical or something.” They are just too interesting to play. Anyway, I love Sinestro in this first one because what you get is a sense of a man who is in control of this incredible corps and who has an immense amount of strength, confidence, and arrogance. But, nevertheless, he has a grudging respect by the end of the movie for this new Lantern."
On the humanity and humour of Sinestro:
"It’s difficult to imagine Sinestro cracking gags, or having any kind of vulnerability, or any of the things that would play against his strength at the moment because he is kind of introduced in this film, and especially because we know where he goes to. I’m not sure that would be a right note and I think our faithfulness to the comics reflects in the fact that Sinestro…I’m not sure. There were a couple of lines that were quite funny, but he doesn’t come across to me as particularly funny in the comics. I think his job is to be powerful. So we are concentrating on that at the moment, but who knows? In the future he might crack a few gags."

As the Green Lanternhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=37440#) set visits and interviews begin to pour in over the net, one tid bit from Latino Review's write up caught my eye. It seems Central City, hometown of The Flash, will be referenced in the upcoming moviehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=37440#)..
You're not going to able to move for Green Lantern coverage online from now on, as set visits and interviews bombard the ol interwebs. A lot of it is cool, if not terribly revealing or new, but I did find this excerpt from Latino Review's coverage very interesting..
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/Green-Lantern-2--The-Flash-Are-In-The-Works.jpg
DC Comic book writer Geoff Johns told us that the mythology for the film is all there, they even have the Guardian scar and it's all true to the comics. Also you will see some sort of easter egg in the movie; "There is a billboard for Central City somewhere in the movie, so Central City does exist" explained Johns.
Now while this isn't exactly Earth shattering news, it does suggest that WB are at least CONSIDERING some type of shared DC universe in their movies (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=37440#). Of course, it may not ever come to anything. After all, Gotham was mentioned in Superman Returns! Still it's nice to know that a shout out to Central City is in there. Maybe when the Flash movie does happen DC/WB will go a bit further and actually have some cross over of characters. We can hope right?
New Green Lantern Poster Featuring Abin Sur
Warner Brothershttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JakeLester/news/?a=37441#) has released a new poster for its Martin Campbell directed movie adaptationhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JakeLester/news/?a=37441#) of Green Lantern featuring Abin Sur.
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

I just cannot get over how fucking lame this movie looks.
This screen grab pretty much sums it up for me...

Screengrabs From The Green Lantern Featurettes
Click here to check out a tonne of screengrabs from the various featurettes for Green Lantern that have been released featuring lots of new shots of some of your favorite characters...
This past day has been a great day for fans of Green Lantern, we've seen some great behind-the-scenes footage of the film, as well as a few absolutely amazing featurettes which gave us a mountain of brand new footage. I think it's safe to say that with the film being released in just a matter of weeks (it feels good to say that) that things are certainly going to be put into over-drive as far as footage, TV spots, pictures, and clips, are concerned.
Well here's a pile of screengrabs of some of the more interesting shots from the various featurettes released recently. Some of them are good quality while others unfortunately weren't available in HD, but I hope you enjoy them either way.

Over 25 Official New Images Of The Green Lantern Corps Aliens!
Check out over 25 brand new images of the Green Lanternhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=39206#) Corps members, many of which are the first official look at how they'll appear in the movie rather than the promo art we've seen in the past...
Hal Jordan is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Ryan Reynolds On The "Inevitable War Between Hal And Sinestro" In Green Lantern 2!
Hit the jump to hear what Ryan Reynoldshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=39188#) and Blake Livelyhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=39188#) had to say about the future of the franchise including details on the rift between Hal and Sinestro as well as the introduction of Star Sapphire...

"I'm pretty aware [of the 'Green Lantern 2' story]," Reynolds told MTV News in a recent interview.
"Really? They don't tell me anything," added Lively. "This is awkward."
When quizzed on whether or not he knows Carrol Ferris becomes Star Sapphire in the sequel, Reynolds quickly replied: "I'm not throwing that out there at all!"
"There's such a rich history with this character, so you get really excited about the possibility [for a sequel]," he continued. "The inevitable war between Hal and Sinestro is something that will have to be dealt with in the second movie for sure, but there's always subplots and a lot of other interesting things going on that are setting up a possible third film, so..."
"Like the war between Star Sapphire and..." interjected Lively.
"Oh, I was talking about Pokemon and Pikachu, but yes, that one as well," joked Reynolds.
With an all star cast which includes Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, Blake Lively as Carol Ferris and Mark Strong as Sinestro, director Martin Campbell's Green Lantern is set to be released in 3D on June 17, later this month!

Mark Strong Gives Us a Hint Of Green Lantern's After Credit Scene
In a recent interview Mark Strong reveals a little about what the after credit scene in the upcoming comic bookhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JakeLester/news/?a=39433#) movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JakeLester/news/?a=39433#) Green Lantern will be about.
Warning:Contains Spoilers!!!
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/22178/2010-07-15-green_lantern_banner.jpg
The much anticipated movie adaption of Green Lantern will be released this Friday, and actor (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JakeLester/news/?a=39433#) Mark Stronghttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JakeLester/news/?a=39433#) was recently interviewed by Crave where he talked a little bit about the movies (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JakeLester/news/?a=39433#) after credit scene.
Warning: This Contains Spoilers!!!!!!!
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/22178/picture-110.png
Said Strong of the after credit scene:
"That was shot speculatively, I think. There was an idea that there would be an introduction of the idea that the yellow ring corrupts him. Perhaps it was felt in the body of the film, it wasn’t the right time to introduce it. So actually the thing to do is introduce everybody to the mythology and the story, and then give them that little taste. Certainly the fanboys who know about it will be excited, and anybody else, at least they have an opportunity of understanding where it could go from here."
The Sinestro Corps logo was teased in the trailer so its pretty safe to assume that if there is a second movie it will feature Sinestro with the yellow power ring.
SPOILER ALERT: Green Lantern After Credits Scene Leaks!
The movie may have been far from great, but the after credits scene was worth the price of admission alone! Hit the jump to take a look at it for yourself before Warner Bros. has it taken down...
Hal Jordan is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
It was inevitable really. Just like the after-credits scene from THOR and Wolverine's cameo in X-Men: First Class, Green Lantern has become the latest victim of the internet! Here is a fairly low quality version of the movies post-credits scene which was posted on YouTube a couple of hours ago. Check it out before it's taken down! (Many thanks to "bulavonc666" for the heads up on the following video.) And as the headline clearly states, the following contains some pretty major spoilers!
