Green Lantern Movie Update: Ryan Reynolds Reveals GL Power Battery!

The pics from Saturday night's SCREAM 2010 awards gave away what the Green Lantern's power battery would look like in the movie.  

Comic Book Movie then obtained a picture of the actual power battery that is used in the actually Green Lantern movie released next summer. 

I don't really like the way the battery looks in this picture. In fact, it doesn't really look like a battery at all.  It looks like it is was built for a junior high-school play or for some 1960s sci-fi "B" movie. What do you think?

Bradley Cooper Front Runner to Play Barry Allen in THE FLASH Movie?

Deadline is reporting that the latest script for the Dc Comics character The Flash will be handed into Warner Bros between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green are writing the draft, and Greg Berlanti did the story with them. No word on who'll direct The Flash yet, bu it's doubtful it'll be Berlanti... "He won't want to direct it because he kinda wants to do something in between size-wise first before attempting something that large,".... apparently the film (Green Lantern) shaping up is "jaw-dropping".

Moviehole, also a reliable source, claims The Hangover's Bradley Cooper is the front runner to play The Flash. Its unlikely WB would actually be speaking to anyone without having signed a director, but they may well have Cooper in mind. Funnily enough Cooper was also a contender for the role of Hal Jordan in Green Lantern, which of course went to Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern, which of course went to Ryan Reynolds in the end.

Very early days but, I've heard Bradley Cooper, who of course was the runner-up for the role of Hal Jordan in DC's "Green Lantern", is the favourite to wiggle his way into the cherry tights. Warner Bros loves them some Cooper, and DC is very keen to have Cooper be 'part of the family', so don't be surprised to hear the "Hangover" star's name mentioned in relation to the role when the shortlist is inevitably leaked.

I believe that  WB got these castings a bit ass backwards and Reynolds would have better suite the part of The Flash and vice versa!

Official GREEN LANTERN Movie Site Launches

The official Green Lantern website has launched at GreenLantern.com and, while the current website is pretty sparse, it does offer an all-new animated look at the film's official logo.

Green Lantern  stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, Blake Lively as Carol Ferris, Mark Strong as Sinestro and Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond with a supporting cast that includes Tim Robbins, Taika Waititi, Temuera Morrison, Angela Bassett, Jay O. Sanders and Jon Tenney. Directed by Martin Campbell, the film hits theaters June 17, 2011.

Will We See Blake Lively As Star Sapphire in Green Lantern Movie?

Blake Lively chatted with MTV and was asked about playing Carol Ferris in Green Lantern following her role in The Town.

"To get to do a role like this that is so dark and so different and so broken and then to go be in a superhero movie opposite such amazing actors and an incredible director, and not just be the damsel in distress, be a fighter pilot, be his boss at the company, to play women with strengths are the characters I'm most attracted to," Lively said.

Carol ultimately becomes the villain Star Sapphire in the comics, but will there be any signs of that in the first film?  "No, not yet," Lively added. "Well, I mean, there are always winks and homages to certain things in the comics for the fans, but I don't think you know yet how evil she turns."

The Martin Campbell-directed Green Lantern is scheduled to hit theaters on June 17.

Alien GREEN LANTERN Movie Characters Revealed

First it was Killowog or was it?  then it was Tomar or was it?  Now Comic Book Movies has apparently tracked down designs for M'Dhana, Galius Zed,  Salaak, Rot Lop Fan, Bzzd, Morro and Boodikka.  Here are the images.  What do you think?  Believable? 

GREEN LANTERN #59: Includes Exclusive Reveal for GREEN LANTERN Film

As if anyone needs reason to buy Geoff John's GREEN LANTERN comic book.  The comic itself is one of the best books on the market and has been since he took over and begin piecing together his story (HAL JORDAN SECRET ORIGIN, SINESTRO CORP. WAR, BLACKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY). 

Now you have another reason to pick up the  comic book.  GREEN LANTERN #59 will include an exclusive first look at a member of the GREEN LANTERN CORPS from the 2011 live action GREEN LANTERN film.

I wonder if each monthly issue of GREEN LANTERN will feature an exclusive reveal as we move closer to Summer 2011.  Who do you think will be the first character revealed in October in GREEN LANTERN #59?

FIRST LOOK: Kilowog from Green Lantern Movie

Comic Book Movie had this image on their website earlier today and claimed this is the Kilowog we will see in next summer's Green Lantern movie.  I like the concept and am hopeful this is the version we will see on the big screen.  What do you think Poozers?

Michael Goldenberg Tapped to Write Green Lantern 2

Reports are swirling that Michael Goldenberg has been hired to pen the screenplay for Green Lantern 2. He's no stranger to the character – having been involved with writing on the first film. This comes months after his co-writers Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim were commissioned to cook up a treatment.

No word on when WB would plan to unleash the Lantern follow-up. But you can bet that they're going to wait and see the results of Martin Campbell's freshman installment before fully committing to another one. The soonest it'd probably be unleashed is 2013/2014.

What would you like to see in the next Green Lantern movie?  Who should be the major nemesis?  Should Jon Stewart, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rainer, etc. be in the movie?

BREAKING NEWS: Krona is in Green Lantern Movie

Krona, the Oan scientist whose actions caused the creation of the DC Comics Multiverse will be introduced to general audiences in Martin Campbell's live action Green Lantern film. Comic Book Movies reports that several streets will be completely closed off to allow room for an Earth-based scene involving the fear entity Parallax and Krona.

Unfamiliar with Krona? He is a summary of history within the DC Universe:

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.

Blake Lively Looked Sexier Than Ever at Comic Con

Blake Lively was at Comic-Con to promote ‘the Green Lantern’, and she and Ryan Reynolds sat on a panel to discuss their upcoming movie.

Her mouth moved and some guy, named Ryan was on stage with her but it was difficult to pay attention. For some reason, everyone in the audience had their mouths open and tongues out like the Wolf in a Tex Avery cartoon.

First Official Green Lantern Movie Pictures of Carol Ferris and Hector Hammond

The cover of the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly debuted Ryan Reynolds in his Green Lantern outfit. It also includes six additional Green Lantern movie images.


The images below feature Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan in his signature bomber jacket alongside a brunette Blake Lively as love interest Carol Ferris; Jordan letting the Green Lantern ring hover above his outstretched hand; Tim Robbins as Senator Hammond and Angela Bassett as Dr. Waller looking over Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond; Hector in a bunker with the body of deceased alien Abin Sur; and a close-up of Hector pre-alien exposure and looking very 1970s.

The Green Lantern opens on June 17, 2011.

FIRST LOOK: RYAN REYNOLDS AS GREEN LANTERN

Here it is.  The CGI Green Lantern suit.  What do you think? 

Ryan Reynolds stars as Hal Jordan, a cocky test pilot who becomes a ring-wearing intergalactic superhero in this massive sci-fi epic from director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale). Though Reynolds has prior experience in the superhero realm from his role as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, playing Green Lantern involved some major challenges, like getting hurled through the air on a wire at up to 60 feet per second to create the illusion of flight. “The first time you do it, you’re seriously considering an adult diaper,” Reynolds says. Still, he couldn’t resist the chance to play the beloved DC Comics hero, whose power ring can conjure virtually anything he can dream up. “Will and imagination are his superpowers,” Reynolds says. “We need a circus of Timothy Learys to think of things Hal would invent with his ring.”

Hal Jordan's Dad has been Cast for the Green Lantern Movie

Jon Tenney has officially been cast as the father Ryan Reynolds’ title character in next summer’s Green Lantern movie. Although the two actors are only 15 years apart in real life, Tenney’s scenes as Hal Jordan’s dad, Martin Jordan, will of course take place early in the film when the future Green Lantern is just a young boy.

But do Ryan Reynolds and Tenney, who appears on The Closer, pass as relations?  We say yes. 

Warner Brothers Turning Green Lantern into the Next Lord of the Rings

Warner Brothers is so sure that the Green Lantern Movie will be a hit, that its giving it the Lord of the Rings treatment by already greenlighting work on the sequel.

Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim—all of whom worked on the first installment—have been hired to begin writing for the second movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter

Who are these guys? Berlanti created Everwood and is an executive producer on Brothers and Sisters. Guggenheim co-created Eli Stone with Berlanti and is executive producer and co-creator of the upcoming ABC superhero drama No Ordinary Family.
Starting work on a sequel so far out from a movie's release is rare, indicating the studio's confidence that green will turn out to be gold.

Green Lantern Movie Plot & Surprise Villain Revealed

Warner Brothers announced some interesting news concerning the Green Lantern movie scheduled for release next summer. Gfest is proud to share with you some of the official details.

Bringing the enduringly popular superhero to the big screen for the first time, “Green Lantern” stars Ryan Reynolds (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, under the direction of Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”).

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Blake Lively Makes Green Lantern Movie's Carol Ferris Look so Damn Hot

Gfest is very excited about the Green Lantern movie that will release next summer. Now we are even more excited for the Green Lantern Movie next summer.  Blake Lively is currently filming the movie “Green Lantern” playing leading lady Carol Ferris.

Vogue recently interviewed the gorgeous Blake Lively.

The comic book movie role is a departure from the norm for the actress best known for playing “Gossip Girl’s” Upper East Side resident blonde bombshell, Serena van der Woodsen — who isn’t used to high-powered action scenes.

“Our director likes it real — the fights close and dirty,” she told Vogue, noting she’s working with a stunt coordinator from several James Bond movies, as well as Cirque du Soleil acrobats to perfect her big screen battle techniques.

Yet, it’s not all pain and no gain for Blake.
“I’m 40 feet in the air, spiraling around. That’s the best workout you can ever do because it’s all core,” she continued. “You do that for ten minutes and you should see your body the next day! It’s so exhilarating, so thrilling—and nauseating.”
