Green Lantern - Ryan Reynolds costume revealed!

[USS Mariner]

Seriously are all you guys who are having a problem with the suit forgetting that when we actually do see the damned suit on screen it's going to be in 3D? They photoshopped it so we could get a first look at it. That wasn't the final look for the suit.

Seriously, do you have a fucking brain? [/scarcasm]

My problem isn't the fact that the suit is generated thanks to the wonderfully inept folks at EW, it's that the concept of the suit can easily go south if they go to far with the "musculature" concept and forget that it's still an exosuit, and thus actually has to fit Renoylds' physique, not simply ape it's motion like a marionette.

Unlike Avatar, which used the actor's faces and movements to build entirely articulate CG counterparts, GL still requires us to see his head and neck. If they forget that it's still a suit, and just replace his body, it's going to look terrible in motion.

Actually many people continuously tell me that I don't have a brain...and I do understand your problem with the suit but again I maintain that was done on purpose for the purposes of showing it for the first time. That when it is actually shown on the screen it will be different than what was shown in the magazine.

Dunno. I never envisioned Hal Jordan smirking while taking the oath.

I don't think he was smirking at all. He was affecting a sweet tone to a child, almost like one would if reading a fairy tale.

 

[Admiral_Young]

Yeah he wasn't smirking he was smiling to the kid when he said the oath.

GREEN LANTERN 2

Michael Goldenberg Writing Green Lantern 2
Source: Variety
August 9, 2010


Warner Bros. Pictures has hired Michael Goldenberg (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) to write the screenplay for Green Lantern 2. The first film is scheduled to hit 3D and 2D theaters on June 17, 2011.

Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim were previously hired to write a treatment for the sequel that would have Ryan Reynolds return as the DC Comics superhero who's part of the Green Lantern Corps.

Filming just wrapped in New Orleans, Louisiana on the Martin Campbell-directed movie, produced by Donald De Line.

Goldenberg's credits also include Where the Wild Things Are, Peter Pan and Contact.

^ Must be pretty confident in the first movie. Hope it's not misplaced.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

Well, they're just starting script development for a sequel, nothing beyond that yet. And it's smart to start work on a sequel script now so that if the film is a hit and they want to move quickly on a sequel they can do so with a solid script in place.

 

[Admiral_Young]

What happened to the actual "Green Lantern Discussion Until Release" thread? This one seems to have taken over. Interesting choice. I'm sure that the original writers treatment is comprehensive enough for DC ENT to hire this guy.

First look at one of the other Lanterns is up over at ComicBookMovie.com. This could be considered a small spoiler.

He looks pretty cool.

Could I squash him? I hate bugs.

Could I squash him? I hate bugs.

He would have a power ring so unless you have yellow shoes it would probably be a bad idea.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I wonder if that planet that's a GL will show up. That would be awesome.

Here's a link to the story on io9 which has another shot showing Tomar Re and Kilowog. You get a better look at the uniform. It has some of the muscle pattern seen in the EW shot of Reynolds, but it looks less pronounced to me.

 

[Davros]

Where's G'nort?

 

[Lieut. Arex]

In the doghouse.

 

[Samurai8472]

Pictures of Oa,Kilowog and the guardians are scattered around the net. PM if your interested in the pictures.

 

[Gryffindorian]

Ch'p?

 

[Greg Cox]

Ch'p?

Disney might object to that one . . . .
