[release][u][b]Film Trivia[/b][/u]

[list]
[*]This is editor Stuart Baird's third superhero film, having previously worked on Superman (1978) and Superman II: Restoring the Vision (2006) (the Zorro films are debatable).
[*]Peter Sarsgaard described Hector Hammond as an expression of what he keeps inside: "He's the kid that licked a battery, or went on the roof during a thunderstorm with a coat hanger."
[*]To prepare for Carol Ferris's action scenes, Blake Lively underwent training on the The Matrix (1999)'s aerial stunt rigs, assisted by acrobats from the "Cirque du Soleil" and supervised by noted stunt coordinator Gary Powell. She described it as a great experience: "I'm 40 feet in the air, spiralling around. That's the best workout you can ever do because it's all core... You do that for ten minutes and you should see your body the next day! It's so exhilarating, so thrilling - and nauseating."
[*]Martin Campbell's favorite Green Lantern is Bzzd. He has also said that if he could become a Green Lantern, he would be Kilowog.
[*]It took 4-5 hours to apply the prosthetic make-up to Temuera Morrison to make him resemble Abin Sur.
[*]Peter Sarsgaard had a prosthetic applied on his head to portray Hector Hammond in the initial stages of his mutation (a swollen brain). For scenes where Hammond's head actually enlarges it will be done in CGI.
[*]Zack Snyder was approached to direct the film, but he turned down the offer due to his commitment on Watchmen (2009). He would later accept the offer to direct the reboot of Superman.
[*]At one point Clark Kent/Superman was in the script (he had a cameo as one of the candidates considered to receive a power ring), but he was cut out because the filmmakers didn't want to depend on another superhero for a success.
[*]This is Ryan Reynolds's third superhero film, after Blade: Trinity (2004) (Hannibal King) and X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) (Wade Wilson); it also marks a rare occasion where an actor has appeared in both a Marvel Comics and DC Comics film.
[*] Principal photography began on March 15, 2010 and ended on August 6, 2010.
[*]Has a budget of $150 million.

[The_J_Hat]

Can't wait for this to come out.

[GodKing]

Escape my sight. no evil shall in brightest day,

[Spaztastik]

I dont think sinestro will be the badguy for this movie. But rathar that Dr. Hector Hammond

[editline]19th March 2011[/editline]

Cant wait for a paralax green lantern movie though <3

[sp]Parallax is indeed one of the villains in this movie[/sp]

[Lithifold]

Still missing in darkest night

[johan_sm]

So another movie where no one cares about HIS FUCKING SUPER ABILITIES and instead does some drama shit?

[FrankWell]

Mark Strong as Siniestro?

I'm sold.

[Generic.Monk]

this looks like a horrible, horrible movie

[editline]19th March 2011[/editline]

also why did I read the OP (without reading the username) then immediately say 'THIS IS A RONG THREAD'

copypasted posts about comic book movies seem to be your forte, my friend

[The_Marine]

Ryan Reynolds being in this automatically makes it shit.
Nevermind the Syfy quality CGI.

[Glance]

This movie looks really bad.

[ChristopherB]

I have little interest in seeing this film. The Green Lantern was never a very exciting hero when compared to his comrades and the CGI in the trailers looks laughable.

[Generic.Monk]

[QUOTE=The_Marine;28692721]Ryan Reynolds being in this automatically makes it shit.

since he's no longer boning scarlett johansson I can be a bit more lenient on him, but this is still a HORRENDOUS film choice

[NeoSeeker]

green lantern has always been lame. this movie looks such shit though. and is that scarlett in the bed in the beginning?

and who plays the blue guy? he looks familiar.

[The Riddler]

[QUOTE=Spaztastik;28687036]I dont think sinestro will be the badguy for this movie. But rathar that Dr. Hector Hammond[/QUOTE]
Confirmed, I read about it and they're pretty much following the comic origin story. I'm really looking forward to seeing Abin Sur (as well as some Green Lantern Corps) in this film. Gonna be awesome.

[dude2193]

looks so shit to be honest

[The Riddler]

[QUOTE=dude2193;28744096]looks so shit to be honest[/QUOTE]

Undeniably true, but I'm just glad that they're following the original storyline. I'm not too excited about the cast, for one thing. I'm just interested in seeing how it'll be done.

[The Riddler]

No more comments from any Green Lantern fans?

[goldenbuttocks]

I don't want a Green Lantern movie. I want a DEADPOOL MOVIE! WHO'S WITH ME?!

[The Riddler]

[QUOTE=goldenbuttocks;28759661]I don't want a Green Lantern movie. I want a DEADPOOL MOVIE! WHO'S WITH ME?![/QUOTE]

I must admit , I have a disposition towards seeing Deadpool instead. I've always been a marvelite deep down.
But still, I wanna see how this turns out.
Anyone else?

[J4censolo]

I'm with ya, I'm not too interested in it but I figure it's worth a watch.

[Sauronvoldemort]

I'm just not sure how Ryan fits Hal's persona. But it'll still be watching it for the sake of seeing how it goes.

[Source]

Indeed i feel i'll be going into it like "Fuck yeah Green Lantern!" then i'll keep going over to "Fucking Ryan Reynolds! >:("

Honestly im a huge GL fan and Hal is my favourite hero so im meh about it to be honest i also hate Hal's suit atm...........stupid streaks but there's a rumor they've added black parts to it so im optimistic

Also...........why couldn't they actually pick someone for Carol who can actually ACT!!!

[editline]24th March 2011[/editline]

[QUOTE=The Riddler;28759534]No more comments from any Green Lantern fans?[/QUOTE]

They're following Geoff John's revamped storyline but i already know what angle they're playing Parallax off as and i can tell im not going to like it...........here's a hint: Look at Hector Hammonds Eyes

Honestly the most fitting character i've seen thus far is Sinestro.

[fo631]

The guy with moustache and visible blood vessels looks like he is taking a huge dump.

[Sauronvoldemort]

I don't think Warner Bros would want to screw up a potential franchise.

With Harry Potter and Batman ending and all.

[Pretiacruento]

Looking forward to it!

OP, may I suggest you post the posters like so?

Looks more cool ;D

[Saren]

I nearly got it confused with the green hornet.

[Niko Bellic]

Surprisingly doesn't look too bad, but I wish they made it a black guy like in the Justice League show on cartoon network.

[Beardy]

[QUOTE=Niko Bellic;28807319]Surprisingly doesn't look too bad, but I wish they made it a black guy like in the Justice League show on cartoon network.[/QUOTE]

this is the origin story for the first human green lantern.

[Niko Bellic]

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;28807711]this is the origin story for the first human green lantern.[/QUOTE]
But I prefer that one more, Ryan Reynolds is just kind of emotionless.
