Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern

Well, let's see if Ryan Reynolds ends up sticking with the Green Lantern movie (who knows - see What Does Ryan Reynolds' 'Green Lantern' Role Mean For 'Deadpool' Movie?). In the meantime - here's my quick attempt at a teaser poster for the Green Lantern movie.



Not much of a tease, it's true - actually kind of gives the whole thing away. But anyway. Just a bit o' fun.

Check out my fake Green Lantern movie trailer on YouTube too!

Martin Campbell - Green Lantern Movie

As I mentioned in an earlier post it seems a Green Lantern movie is just a little bit closer to getting off the ground. Despite Greg Berlanti (Broken Hearts Club, Dawson's Creek, Brothers and Sisters) being linked to the project, the latest rumour is that Martin Campbell, the director of James Bond movies 'GoldenEye' and 'Casino Royale' has been approached to bring the story of Hal Jordan to the screen.

Ryan Gosling has been linked to the title role, but with Martin Campbell on board who knows, perhaps 007 Daniel Craig might be persuaded to play the test-pilot-turned-galactic-policeman. Campbell is currently directing Mel Gibson in a remake of Edge of Darkness (which he directed for the BBC in 1985) - scheduled for a 2009 release.

Variety's story has been picked up by the movie sites, so it looks like we may finally get to see the long-awaited Green Lantern movie in a year or two.

Green Lantern Movie

Earlier this year I made a fake movie trailer based on the DC Comics superhero Green Lantern and stuck it up on YouTube. It's now had nearly 200,000 views and loads of really positive comments. It also now pops up as video link on Google first page results for 'Green Lantern'.



There IS a live-action Green Lantern Movie in production from Warner Bros. Greg Berlanti (Broken Hearts Club, Dawson's Creek, Brothers and Sisters) is directing and co-writing with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green (Batman, Spiderman & various other comic writing credits). By all accounts the film will focus on Hal Jordan (Silver Age GL). Try Googling 'Green Lantern Movie' for more info.

And for those (shame on you) that don't know who 'Green Lantern' is - here's a fine rundown courtesy of Wikipedia. And here is the origin story courtesy of DC.

My Green Lantern trailer was put together mainly just as a bit of fun - also as a bit of practice using After Effects plug-ins and 3D modelling. An earlier attempt is also on YouTube here.

Anyway - I hope you like the Green Lantern trailer - and that you're looking forward to the real thing! Please feel free to comment :)
