Green Lantern: The Motion Picture

[Darklord Dave]

Casino Royale action-packed? Did I see the same movie. Probably the lightest action-packed Bond ever!

Maybe they meant to say the best Bond ever. I'm happy with this - he's got a lot of experience and can handle this kind of film.

 

[Buttmunch]

I could accept that. But it was surprisingly light on action for a Bond film, but it did indeed work. All I can think of is the opening chase, the stair fight, and the sinking building. The rest was character and plot development.

Hopefully GL will have a bit more action than CR though

For a Green Lantern Origin story I would be happy with some action and a lot of character and plot development!

You're missing the opening sequence where he received his first kill and the Miami Airport bomb sequence.

Today, Warner Bros. announced the official release date for Green Lantern: December 17, 2010. One of the crown jewels of DC Comics, this will no doubt light up the box office over the holiday season, and marks a changing of the guard for superhero movies. Usually, men-in-spandex drop into theatres during the summer months, but with Iron Man 2, Thor, and The Green Hornet all set for summer 2010, DC wisely chose to corner the holiday market instead. Currently, the film is scheduled to debut the same weekend as Sony's big screen adaptation of the Smurfs. Blue vs. Green. I'm putting my money on green and guessing that blue will find another date that is a lot more smurfy.

Although the title role has not been set, rumor has it that Warner Bros. is in discussions with Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye) to helm. Let the casting rumors fly.

as a GL fan, this is some great news

Good news, glad to see WB is getting off their asses and expanding the superhero palate.

 

[Darthrazz]

I think Stephen Sommers would have been the ideal choice for this flick! With Marlon Wayans cast as GL.....................


I KID! I KID!

Green lantern was my favorite read as a kid and I'm super excited about this!

 

[Hulksmashed]

If they have any sense at all they will use Geoff Johns recent GL "Secret Origins" arc as the basis for the movie! Even has Sinestro the deceptive villian cloaked as good guy angle! Also touches on the yellow impurity and Hal's ability to over come it!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

GL in 2010?!?

Will Ch'p be in it?

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

First Batman Begins, then Superman Returns, The Dark Knight, The Spirit and Watchmen, and now Green Lantern: It's good to see a golden age of DC films finally come into fruition (and for WB to realize they own more superheroes than just Batman and Superman.) Now where's Wonder Woman?

For the LOVE of God I hope not!!

Green Lantern Rumor (That We Hope Is Wrong)

Just when the Green Lantern movie was starting to sound cool - epic script and Martin Campbell as director, comes a rumor that is NOT good news. It seems that for some bizarre reason, Warner Bros. wants to go “young” on the Green Lantern movie. The word from Latino Review is that one actor being considered to wear the emerald and black tights is:

Anton Yelchin.

Hoo boy.

Nothing against the guy (should I say, “kid?”) but what the heck is WB thinking? Green Lantern, especially as he exists in the current screenplay can NOT be someone as young as Yelchin. Hal Jordan (GL’s alter ego) is supposed to be a seasoned test pilot, not a kid who isn’t even old enough to have graduated college.

This seems to play into the (currently dead) Justice League movie “teen casting” concept that was also ridiculous. If you remember, the studio was looking to populate that movie with a bunch of fresh, young faces instead of actors in their early to mid 30s, which would have made much more sense. At the time the majority of actors they had in mind were between 19 and 22 years old.

And now they’re considering 19 year old Anton Yelchin for the role of Green Lantern?

Again, at this point this is rumor, but the word is the studio had also been looking at Emile Hirsch (Speed Racer) for the role, but he declined.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Stupid WB. Are they trying to make everything Smallville-esque or something. Sheesh!

 

[karamazov80]

Bad idea from the perspective of making a good movie, but a potentially good idea if the idea is to bring in ticket sales from the "Twilight" crowd.

 

[Shai]

I think he looks the part.

Except on Smallville, Superboy is 32 years old.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Except on Smallville, Superboy is 32 years old.

True. Still caters to a very young crowd though. Especially when it first started. I watch it but if they would have made it a bit less childish it wouldn't have bothered me a bit.

I fear WB is going to direct the theme of GL towards the younguns. The Twilight crowd as karamazov mentioned before.

New casting news- Brian Austin Green wants the part. After seeing him in TSCC, I can definitely see him as Hal Jordan.

Hmmm... I have to agree with you, Batty. I think Green could pull it off.

Brian Austin Green or Chris Pine...IMO not bad choices.

Ya, I'd be cool with either of those too. Although BAG (hmm, unfortunate initials) was kind of one note in T:SCC (and that note was "dour"). I'm not sure he can pull off the wonder and joy that Hal would need.
