Green Lantern movie (2011) (MC: 39, RT: 26%)

Sinestro looks pretty accurate in those posters.

Also Souj, I'm glad they didn't go with the idea for a comedy. Warner dropped the idea after poor reception over the internet. Although I guess some humor would be okay like Hal Jordan still trying to discover his powers like Peter Parker in the first Spider-Man movie.

[Krandor]

Needs more mustache.

If they're keeping it fairly similar to Secret Origin, there wasn't much "discovering" of his powers going on. He learns how to fly, wrecks an Air Force jet, then gets shipped off to Oa for "boot camp." Can get some humor out of Killowog beating the tar out of him though

[Corrderio]

Ahh I never seen that. I always assumed they'd do something like Peter did on that roof trying to shoot his web.

Either way, 2011 looks good for movies/TV from what I've been seeing.

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:

Born 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 properties into one film universe? Or is this their way of explaining all the different incarnations of their film characters?

[Krandor]

Wow Krona up in the house

Now these are some real movie spoilers

Spoiler: show

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.

[Guyverarmor]

Holy fuck, Sinestro character is spot on, love love it !

[Xno Kappa]

Some of the cgi looks stupid as shit lol.

[Deftscythe]

Yeah, the mask looks terrible and the suit looks only marginally better. I don't know if it's enough to turn me off the movie but it's not helping.

[DrClout]

Seems a lil over board w/ the CG but I'm staying optimistic. This is one that will give us an idea of where the other DC moves are going. And looking at that Sinestro pic, first thing that came to mind was, "Sup bitches!" with a weird yet awesome accent.

[Artemas]

Oh man, I hope they don't care bear Sinestro up.

trailer is on apple

I dunno, I love ryan reynolds but I still get the feeling I would have wanted an older person to play Hal, like Nathan Fillion

[Eaglestrike]

That longer trailer with more of the green lantern stuff looks a lot better than the short clip trailer I saw yesterday. I don't know Green Lantern well enough to be too judgmental, so I think I'm more likely to enjoy the movie.

[Serra]

Trailer looked great... except for the CGI suit.. Watched it a few times, and just can't get over it
