Yeah. If they get to do the Sinestro story, it'll be all the more dramatic if he's treated heroically in this one.

Love it. Love Reynolds. Love Hal.
"All right - I can do that."

That's supposedly in the cards for later.
A fan has put the scenes and shots from the various trailers together in a chronology that probably closely approximates the narrative of the movie - so I guess this is kind of spoilerish:

Some shots there I hadn't seen, and the thing's a little light on Hammond.

Looks epic! So the final battle will be in Oa itself and not some airfield hangar?
Blake Lively has done an interview where she mentioned Star Sapphire is a possibility for the sequel. I'm sure that it was posted somewhere in this thread.
The way the recent footage really downplays the bulging head villain in favour of the cosmic destruction villain is certainly reassuring.
Looks to me like the final battle will be Earth-based, though, trying to stop the alien menace from destroying the Earth (because really what's a good pulp adventure without our hero stopping aliens from destroying the Earth)?
Worked for NuTrek.
Well, who cares about any place but Earth? Fuck Alderan.
I dig Oa. But it's no Pandora - the palette's a little too monotonous.
Yeah. Obviously some people will really dislike it - you never get unanimity - but so far, the preponderance is positive. People seem to like the actors.
I pay next to no attention to the careers of actors until they're in something that interests me - is Reynolds much of a box office draw on his own? I mean, do studios promote movies based on Reynolds starring in them?

For his comedies, yea, I think so, and whatever magazine it is that does "Sexiest Man" gave the title to Ryan Reynolds recently (Hugh Jackman won 2 or 3 years running, I believe), so, that's gotta count for something
Well then, that can't hurt.
I haven't any read at all on what the box office might be like for GL. It could be a big disappointment for WB; it could open really strong.

Thor opened at $65m with 3-D.
X-Men:FC opened at $55m with no 3-D.
The drill down analysis is that both movies sold nearly the same amount of tickets, 3-D accounts for the variance.
That tells me that the audience which is attracted to these films did not fade away or get get distracted by other movies in the market place from Thor to XM:FC. A four week gap and XM:FC to GL is only two weeks, is that a factor? Does it crowd the fanbase? We'll know soon enough.
Therefore using that benchmark for this summer alone I'd say if GL can land around Thor's numbers for OW it's good. Ideally WB would like it higher cause they spent more on it than Marvel did Thor. Anything less than $55m is going to throw up alarm bells I think.
Yeah, I'd think that it needs to do something like that. I'm sure we'll start to hear studio expectations floated in the next week or so - if they're saying that fifty-something would be "a solid opening" you'll know that they're actually expecting and hoping for better than that.
They've merchandised the fuck out of this thing.
