i don't know who's saying what, but my issue has nothing to do with the humor in the movie.

i just can't stand the god awful trailer.

[Violet Lantern]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The trailer got me excited for this movie and got me interested in the character of Green Lantern. Thanks to this trailer I am now a big Green Lantern fan(I hadn't gotten into GL before but after seeing the trailer I bought my first GL comics, TPB's of Rebirth and Secret Origin). :up:

I think that says something about this trailer being effective. May not excite people already familiar with the character that much but that's not who it's aimed at.

[DCUmoviepage]

First look at the Guardians, from merchandising thread

[thewhyteman]

Huh, so one of them will have the jello head. Cool.

Kinda wish they looked more alien though. Instead of a personified alien.

[Motown Marvel]

they look too tall.

[Mac_Hine]

They look fine.

[BigThor]

Huh, so one of them will have the jello head. Cool.

But this is VERY close to how they actually look

[Micah12345]

The trailer was disappointing, but the more I see of stuff like the guardians and parallax is making me super hyped for this.

[HighFivingMF]

they look too tall.
How can you tell? They're wearing long robes and not standing near anything to compare.

[Mondragon]

They have blue skin, have see-through skulls (yes they all have it), and maybe four fingers, what more do we nead, antennae? Cat eyes? Octopus lips? Those wouldn’t be Guardians.

they look too tall.
As stated, the robes disguise their true height, they are probably playing with the illusion and saving it for a reveal, emphasizing how irrelevant size is to the power of the mind and will, which is kind of the point of the Guardians.
(Yes a couple of decades before Yoda)

[S.A.A.D.]

Why bother coming in this section if you still feel like that?

[Compi716]

I'm curious how tall the Guardians will be. It's hard to tell from that t-shirt.

[thewhyteman]

But this is VERY close to how they actually look

Yup.

They are blue, have see-through skulls (yes they all have it), and four fingers, what more do we nead, antennae? Cat eyes? Octopus lips? Those wouldn’t be Guardians.

How would giving them earth animal parts make them look more alien? Your sarcasm lacks imagination.
They look like small blue corporate executives. I didn't like the look of them in the comics. Fortunately they look better so far then the comics.

[Mondragon]

Yup.

How would giving them earth animal parts make them look more alien? Your sarcasm lacks imagination.

Right, cause this would have made more sense to you: What more do we need, Gnobian antennae? Razilliack eyes? Orfoogoolian lips?
The point was adding those things would be dumb no matter what you called them, since they wouldn't look like Guardians anymore.
They look alien enough and hey they look like you know - the freakin Guardians!



And since you're so creative what would you add to make them "more alien" and supposedly better?
Giraffe necks? Oh wait I meant Knoozablongian necks.

http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8564/guardianmorealien.jpg

[Ruseri]

they look too tall.

no offense, but this is like saying that Elijah Wood is too tall to play a hobbit. franchise merchandise (like clothing or even toys) rarely provides any kind of context for the characters' actual size/height.
just last night, i was at a store and walked by some halo toys.. if anything, you'd think action figures would provide some kind of accurate comparison, but the grunt was the same height (if not taller) than the spartan.
i highly doubt if this shirt comes close to indicating how tall the guardians will actually be, and i feel like that's a fairly obvious point, so i can only assume you're nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking.

Since you clearly would not be happy with anything that is not silly puttied off the comics, what sense would it make for me to tell you what IMO would look better?

And if you want to talk about people's opinion try not being a d!@k about it.

So did he.

[Motown Marvel]

no, the shorter proportions of his arms would imply he's shorter. look at the length of the guardians arms in that pic. they look quite long, which would imply they are taller in height.

im sure they will be short on film....just sayin, that picture implies they are tall.

[The Riddler]

Why bother coming in this section? If you still feel like that?

i didn't realize hating the first teaser meant hating the movie.

also, i can't understand why you split up your post into two separate sentences. corrected form: "Why bother coming into this section if you still feel like that?"

[S.A.A.D.]

The thing with you is that in a different thread you made it clear that you weren't thrilled with the trailer,and on top of that if you were actually looking forward to the movie at all then you would have had like countless posts,in this section indicating that you're looking forward to the movie to some extent. But as far as I am concerned,that isn't what I have seen go down at all. Hence my complaining,I'm just fed up with this insulting type of attitude that comes off as transparent.

Secondly,as for the splitting of the sentence,I was in a rush and was occupied.

That is probably the best actual pic of Reynolds in the suit. I need whatever pics are in that F*** magazine, now!

i noticed that they changed the mask? it doesnt now blur with the skin. it looks like it has tickness. this was a good choice.

fantastic promo .

There's a higher res version available on the facebook page of the magazine who are based in Singapore.

The strange thing is that they are a magazine that has very little writing and mostly picture (according to their facebook page). They also don't really have a website even though they list one on the cover of the magazine.

Well the website is 'under construction'.

If no scans make their way to the web i think the magazine will probably pop up on ebay soon been sold for an overly inflated price.:o

[Micah12345]

That pic makes me more confident that they're going to make the mask looker nicer in the movie.

[S.A.A.D.]

Someone has to scan the other GL pics from that magazine,if it's worth it that is.

[thewhyteman]

I certainly hope so.

I agree, it looks excellent.

[Mr. Earle]

That new pic is awesome!

[Violet Lantern]

Yeah the new pic is great!

It seems the ONE thing I didn't care for about the costume has been fixed. (how the mask looked kind of painted on before, and didn't stand out from his skin in a way that looked genuinely three dimensional)

[Metropolis_Man]

I saw a link to the magazine cover on my twitter at work this morning. I was viewing from a Blackberry phone and when I checked the image I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't really anything new. Now that I get home and have a closer look, I see the mask has been greatly improved from before. Can't wait to see what other adjustments they've made as well.

[Mac_Hine]

The mask is looking much better and the overall color looks great.

[Alien1495]

The mask is looking a lot better, but is still not exactly perfect.
I like the fact that they added depth by showing the edges of the map, but they really should refine those edges more.
But eh what I'm saying. Just a minor nitpick. Overall, the suit looks great.

[Violet Lantern]

I like how the suit looks like a part of his body almost. Seeing as GL doesn't actually wear a costume(the costume itself is a construct of the ring and organic, is it not?) it makes a lot of sense.

They will be popping up soon in mid to late Feb or for sure by March.

I also would think we will see our 2nd GL trailer with Sucker Punch in March.

Lets all hope that 2nd GL trailer is executed far better than the 1st GL trailer!

I'm sure it will be.

[Sam]

I dont want to nitpick here, because (really!) I LOVE the suit design and concept! But the mask still looks kinda slight off to me.

So, i made a manip about how i think mask should looks like:

http://www.pagexpresso.com.br/original_manip.jpg

[Compi716]

^Agreed.

[Dark Knight]

All I ask for this 2nd GL trailer is to have the trailer start off with mystery and maybe a voice over from Abin Sur, Sinestro or one of the Guardians.

EPIC music needs to be used and I don't want to hear ANY kind of rock music.

I also want the 2nd trailer to focus more on Oa and the world of the Green Lantern Universe and show more action.

I want scenes on Earth to be minimal and I don't want to see as much light hearted or comedic scenes as we saw in the 1st Trailer.

The trailer needs to focus on the space mystery and awe of what the Green Lantern Universe is all about and show some power ring effects, with action and some dramatic emotion with EPIC music being used and NO rock music.

[Micah12345]

orange lantern tomar-re?!?!

[Micah12345]

I hate to admit that the manipped mask looks much better. Then again I hated TDK costume with all my heart but that didn't stop that movie from being amazing.

[Karelia]

I'm fine with the mask, but If they used the shape that manip has, I'd like it a wee bit more.

Since Henry Cavill is Clark Kent/Superman. Can they give us a cameo maybe, please? No?... Alright then :(

I mentioned that a few posts up. I really hope so too, I'm not getting my hopes up though.

[solidsnake86]

it probably wont happen, depending on how the scene works in the movie because it looks like they changed it from the script so they might not even show the ring going by other candidates.

A new pic of Tomar-Re in promo art form.

Neville Page about Tomar-Re's GL uniform being red and orange:

"This was a costume choice where they wanted a little more skin like color to show through, [but] I did not conceive his chest to be orange. It may also be an early iteration without the costume. We did them without costumes first, then it went to the costume department."

[Majmun]

It may also be an early iteration without the costume.

So then why is that game piece colored the same way? Seems like a final decision to me. He looks cool, but I don't like the orange, it doesn't make sense. Will everyone else's skin show through? Is Hal Jordan's chest going to show through at some point? I don't get it.

EDIT: I take that back, maybe if Arisia's chest shows through that'd be ok.

[maenalus]

"This was a costume choice where they wanted a little more skin like color to show through,



Huh?

[dark_b]

he is lying because its part of the movie

its not hes skin.the color is different. its on top of the suit.look around the neck. the line.

[Kirmit]

I'm not sure what the debate is about, we saw Tomar-re in the trailer and his costume was clearly green.

[The Sage]

It could just be a variation, or maybe a certain scene his costume turns orange for whatever reason.

[Compi716]

We need more "REAL" pictures of Green Lantern. It's too hard to judge thinks based on promotional artwork. How he looks as a drawing can be drastically different than in the film. For example, look at the promo artwork from Superman Returns, Batman Begins, and The Dark Knight - I'd say they looked much cooler than the actual costume in the movie. In contrast, the footage and stills we have of Thor and Captain America look better (in my opinion) than their promo art.

[S.A.A.D.]

Oh well.

Agreed. Thus far all we have for real footage is the teaser, which is hardly enough to satisfy most of us.

Despite that, I still love the promo art. The team working on it did a fantastic job.

[Silvermoth]

It would be pretty awesome to see Cavill as Superman. Even if it's just a brief glimpse, that would rock my world. or it would rock Oa. Depends where the cameo is set.

[BigThor]

Why would he be on Oa in Hal's origin story? I'm pretty sure he would cameo on earth if he even has a cameo.

http://www.scifinow.co.uk/blog/an-interview-with-the-green-lantern-writer/
Thanks for the link, there’s been such a backlash of negativity towards this film if nothing else it’s nice to see somebody still talking positive about it (yeah I know it’s the writer, what else is he going to say? Still it’s nice to hear it)
It's really interesting what he says about ryan reynolds.
Again what else would he say, but from what he’s seen, which is more than any of us; he really has faith in Reynolds carrying this movie and “fitting” the character.
His comments about Reeve are a bit lofty, but still it’s nice to hear somebody so positive about the character and the guy playing him.

His vision for Hal Jordan is more from Emerald Dawn; who rather than the guy who is a hero from the get-go (which some people were expecting) - is more the broken, overcompensating, self destructive wash out, who is given a second chance. To belong to a something bigger then himself, something he never imagined, and then rises to the challenge from that.
And yeah from what little we’ve seen I think Reynolds conveys it and is a good “fit” as he put it.

Yeah I'm glad to finally hear some positive news on GL, I agree that it's expected for him to say good things about Reynolds but it seems like he actually believes what he says.

I'm hoping that Thor, GL, & Captain America are all going to be some of the best films this year:thor: :hal: :cap:. I don't think Fox's take on the X-Men franchise is even taken seriously anymore though (for good reason).

[Grommers]

Yeah..

Not to go off topic, but even my friends don't care about any other x-men movie coming out.

Now, back on topic.

I hope that the movie isn't all over the place like the graphic novels seem to be. I received the sinestro war & rebirth.

Now, I know the back stories and all that, but from one panel to another it is a completely different scene with the same characters.

[Mondragon]

Yeah..

I hope that the movie isn't all over the place like the graphic novels seem to be. I received the sinestro war & rebirth.

Now, I know the back stories and all that, but from one panel to another it is a completely different scene with the same characters.

I’m not sure how they were collected in the trade books, but I remember reading both Rebirth & Sinestro Corps War as they came out in the original monthlies, and I don’t remember them being all over the place or “from one panel to another …a completely different scene with the same characters”.?
Any particular scenes you’re talking about?

Also the movie has little to nothing to do with those at least continuitywise, (going by the first draft) the script was almost straight up taken from Emerald Dawn which is a pretty straight forward origin story.
And then (apparently) only addended slightlly with elements from Geoff Johns' run - i.e. Parallax, and Secret Origins, which again are pretty straight forward.
I doubt this movie will be all over the place. Other than some back story exposition and/or flashback introducing/explaining Parallax, Krona and how and why the Guardians and Corps came to be, I think they’ve got a pretty straight-forward linear story to tell.

So just to make sure, WB will be neglecting this movie during the superbowl, yes?

[HighFivingMF]

So just to make sure, WB will be neglecting this movie during the superbowl, yes?
Neglecting isn't the right word, but there won't be anything for Green Lantern at the Super Bowl.

[Sawyer]

Neglecting sounds pretty spot on to me. But then again, Fox has been neglecting X-Men: First Class for months and still continues to, so at least they're not alone.

[HighFivingMF]

BUt they aren't neglecting it, they've been steadily releasing interviews and pictures. They're just opting not to blow a couple million dollars on 30 seconds sandwiched in between about a dozen other 30-second TV spots to be viewed by mostly drunk people. Instead they're waiting to unveil a new trailer with Sucker Punch that can be five times longer.

[The Sage]

Which is good in terms of saving money. However, I'd wish they'd release more stills.

[I Am The Knight]

Didn't WB "neglect" TDK, too? Just saying...

[HighFivingMF]

Didn't WB "neglect" TDK, too? Just saying...
I can't think of many movies WB did give spots to, or any really.

[dnno1]

I can't think of many movies WB did give spots to, or any really.

They did do an ad for "Alice in Wonderland", which released February of last year. At now $3 million for a 30 second spot, I think you have to look at a lot of factors (like release date, target market, return on investment, etc.) before buying an ad during the Superbowl nowadays.

Isn't Alice in Wonderland Disney?

[Majmun]

Well, I may have some disappointing news for you guys. I actually came across a website today where this movie has been leaked. It was not completely finished, kind of like the wolverine movie was when it was leaked, but you could get the idea. I could not resist watching it, so I did....and now I wish I did not.

The movie is at best meh, imo. It may be appealing to someone else, I don't know, we're all different in our tastes. It just wasn't what I hoped and imagined it would be.

I was hoping there would be a cast list so that I could see who was voicing some of the cgi characters, but in this cut there were no credits, so I don't know who the voice actors are, but some of the voices are so modified that it'd be hard to recognize their voice anyways. But there is one who I think I know who it is. Kilowog. I had to look up his name to post it here, but Kilowog sounds very much like the guy who voices Patrick Star on the Spongebob Squarepants cartoon, Bill Fagerbakke. He doesn't sound exactly like Patrick, but close, and it is disturbing. I have no idea why they went this route. Now, Tomar Re, I have no idea who it is that voices him because when he talks it sounds like he is underwater or something. There is some kind of gargling sound when he speaks. I guess they wanted to emphasize that he is some kind of aquatic creature. Again, that was disturbing. I loved how he sounded on the First Flight animated movie. This was just so different it sucked.

Everything just seemed so cliche. There's the scene in the "mess hall" where they are eating after a hard day of training. Hal is sitting at a table with Kilowog, Tomar Re, a rock looking dude, and that new character they created. This is also where there are many cameos of different lanterns at other tables, like Chaselon and Boodika, who never speak.

So they're sitting at the table, and of course it's going to be food that humans don't want to eat. So Hal goes through all the cliche moments of trying alien food. Yet, Tomar Re is eating oysters? He uses his beak to crack them open and then slurp them down. Then kilowog holds his plate up to his mouth and pours all the food down his throat, then eats the plate as Hal watches in amazement.

I'm going to stop here because I'm a little depressed and I just need to clear my head from what I saw.

Also, I am lying.

[I Am The Knight]

EDIT: Yeah I think it is. (To the AIW thing...)

[Paradoxal]

Deep, dark depression and denial. Also many other sad words that start with D. :cwink:

[Micah12345]

I'm glad I read through your whole post instead of zipping off to find a copy of it.

[DCUmoviepage]

With the 2° trailer comes with Sucker Punch, i waiting new pics,and featurretes, anything what is not a art promo, something from the movie for real.

[SuperDaniel]

Why the hell didnt this movie had a super bowl tv spot?!?! Warner somehow always messes up in marketing except the Batman movies...

[The Sage]

Apparently WB didn't want to spend the 3 million dollars for the 30 seconds. I was annoyed by that but not anymore. Honestly, nothing was missed IMO. I liked the tv spots for Captain America and Thor but nothing mind blowing that caught my attention. I'll wait for the full trailer and pictures.

[Marvin]

3 million out of 150 million.

I do think money well spent is the best approach overall.
all WB needed to do is look at the cap teaser and they would have been golden.
NO sleeping with a nameless blonde and reynolds jokes and funky sporting cast line readings and unfinished cgi

here's hoping trailer 2 is better.

[The Sage]

The Captain America superbowl spot was fine but I wish there had been more in action in the second half after the pre-transformation scenes.

If there's anything superbowl spot that should be emulated, it's the Batman Begins one. Six years have passed and it's still the best superhero movie superbowl spot I've seen.

[Motown Marvel]

OH MAN the green lantern superbowl commercial was EEEEEEPPPPPPPIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 11 the part where GL was all whoosh and sinestro was all vroom ryan reynolds IS hal jordan!

[I Am The Knight]

I really enjoyed it. For thirty seconds, it showed me everything I was hoping to see. It showed pre-serum steve, the transformation, some shots of the suit in action, a glimpse at Red Skull, and Cap leading the Howling Commandos.

I really want the same of the next Green Lantern trailer. I'd like some shots of training on Oa, more Sinestro(hopefully dialogue from him), Guardians, some Parallax, great shots of the suit, etc. If a good portion of that are in the next trailer, with some epic music....I'd dig it.

Pre serum Steve had a CGI body. Who would have thunk?

Cap's trailer was awesome especially considering it was the first trailer footage shown and the creature at the end of Thor's commercial looked BADASS!!!

[Octoberist]

There's a part of me who thinks that..Maybe..just Maybe..WB should have bought out a spot for Green Lantern. Especially if Paramont/Marvel bought out TWO SPOTS for Thor and Captain America..

[J.Howlett]

Octoberist,

I thought that as well...until I saw both Marvel spots. It's pretty clear from the spots that Captain America is Iron Man '08 and Thor is Incredible Hulk '08.

You can just tell how much money Marvel's put into Captain America, compared to Thor.

Thor will probably go the way of Hulk in that it won't get a sequel. What will happen is that Thor will show up in spots in other Marvel films that's not the Avengers, just to make sure people don't forget the character.

Captain America is the character they really want to build around, since Iron Man will technically be over in 2013, with Iron Man 3.

Having said that, I still say that Green Lantern will be the most unique comic book film this summer. There's just something about it that looks very different from what Marvel's doing.

Marvel's just chugging these things out. DC seems to be taking it's time and favoring quality over quantity.

No dog in this fight but I just kind of want DC and Green Lantern to be the film of the summer just to show Marvel that it's not about how many you can do in a given period. It's about how well you do it.

[*Whiplash*]

Aside from Batman, DC's movies have been ****. Marvel know what to do.

[J.Howlett]

It's also pretty clear that WB's going to have a massive trailer party when Sucker Punch hits in March with Green Lantern and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

It just makes sense to wait until Sucker Punch.

[J.Howlett]

Constantine, V for Vendetta, Watchmen Director's Cut, and even Superman Returns say hello.

Look, we can argue back and forth about it but to me, it's clear that DC's far more ambitious with it's individual projects than Marvel.

I mean, the only true ambitious film that Marvel's ever done was Ang Lee's Hulk. It tried to be more than a comic book film. I'd add Spider-Man 2 and X2 after that film. After that, some good, some really, really bad, and some serious fluff.

Yeah, DC didn't fair too good with Losers and Jonah Hex in 2010.

V, Watchmen, Superman Returns, and both Batman films are clearly director's films.

Marvel doesn't have a single film that's on the level of Watchmen, V, or the Dark Knight.

Again, Hulk is the absolute closest.

Again, my opinion. I like a few Marvel films but I just like the aesthetic of DC's films...even if it's only a few films.

[*Whiplash*]

Superman Returns was ridiculously boring and too long in my opinion.

But fair enough, I would say that I've been more entertained by Marvel's offerings.

Not every comic book adaptation has to be ''dark'' or ''more realistic'' as some fans would want or say. Sometimes a bit of comedy, romance etc is needed in a movie, because after all it's for everyone.

As the first look at Captain America, it was good. I liked seeing all of that stuff. As a superbowl spot, I felt like it was missing something. I can't wait for the full trailer. That should rock. :up:

That's what I'm hoping to see in the next GL trailer as well.

[protocida]

NO sleeping with a nameless blonde and reynolds jokes and funky sporting cast line readings and unfinished cgi.
:dry:

[Sgt.Pepper]

I'm not pissed about Green Lantern not having a Super Bowl Spot since I believe that what WB is cooking up (marketing wise) is gonna be great.

Least that's what I hope for.

[dnno1]

actually the body was real

Sure looked like motion capture to me.

[arman200]

Sure looked like motion capture to me.

Nah, they just got a skinny dude and added Chris' head.

[Spideyfan93]

I love both Marvel and DC. Really dislike people who favor DC pick at Marvel films,or vice versa. Surprised to see positive Marvel reactions in here.

Second, this summer is going to be ridiculous. I really think all the significant superhero movies(disregarding X-Men....considering we haven't seen ****. Something is wrong here), will range from good to "one of the GOATs".

Also, where Marvel vs DC was Iron Man vs TDK in 2008, think it'll be Cap vs GL here.

[dnno1]

Nah, they just got a skinny dude and added Chris' head.

Who was the dude?

[dark_b]

a skinny actor that they used for the body.

I agree 100%!,Good thing for me I love Batman and am a big IronMan fan and same with Cap&GL.....double treats for me!

Looking back at the GL trailer&info,I'm really liking how this movie is shaping up!,I just think they put some wrong scenes for the first trailer&hopefully maybe some CGI shots were not done yet!lol.

[Octoberist]

I do think that Captain America looks awesome, but for SOME reason Thor looks..cheap. I don't know if it's because it takes place in New Mexico and in a small town, but..even ET felt big and that took place in 'Any Town, USA'.

[Majmun]

Who was the dude?
DJ Qualls.

I don't get that "regal" feel for Thor in the trailers like I do when I read a comic book about him or watch him in the animated movies.

[Octoberist]

Yeah, we'll see how it is.

I still believe that Captain America will be the bigger Marvel film of out the two.

[dnno1]

I will be honest with you guys, I am going to agree with the opinion of Variety's Brian Lowry (http://weblogs.variety.com/bltv/2011/02/super-bowl-xlv-how-did-movie-studio-ads-look.html?query=captain+america) on his assessment of the Superbowl ad spots. I belive there were missed opportunities by "Captain America: The First Avenger" in that they could have included more action scenes. Because "Thor" had already had a longer 2 minute plus trailer, it might be plausible that they had a more streamlined version as a 30 second clip. The better of the film trailers were "Transformers: Darkside of the Moon" and "Cowboys and Aliens" (yes, I said that I don't mix my westerns with my sci-fi, but looking at the trailer objectively it seems that they exploited more aspects of the film in the short period of time they had).

[Marvin]

green lantern emrald knights starring fillion as voice of hal jordan coming out june 7th

just seems funny.
if they wanted a funny hal for the live action movie they should have just said so instead of of just going ahead and casting reynolds anyways lol.

new trailer should hit with sucker punch.

[Sawyer]

Actually the better of the bunch was Super 8, but that's neither here nor there... :o

[Octoberist]

Super 8 was probably the best one.

[dnno1]

Still didn't see the monster. That 30 second spot left me with the impression that it was going to be a cross between "ET" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"

[Marvin]

Super 8 was probably the best one.

that's only if your into that 90's spielberg style
for example, many of my friends said cool another cloverfield msytery movie but with kids this time, looks ok. whereas genre sites like this and aint it cool are going nuts over the berg film they've been waiting for for the past 18 years...

I think it's ok but honestly we've had many berg like films over the years and the formula just worked better back when the style was new and flight of the navigator was dope.
Kid led movies like stand by me and goonies were actually relavent back then whereas now you can't find that many kid led movies outside of animation if at that.

transformers 1
most shyamalan films
war of the worlds
iron giant
etc

given all those films had their inherent flaws, they were all doing that this film is promising and quite frankly it ain't that special, but then of course none of them were advertised as the (blatant ripoff) second coming of et they way this one is..

rant over.

[Octoberist]

First off not once did you mention JJ Abrams. And there's also a confusion between tipoff and homage. While it's too early to decide which is which, I'm gonna stay positive.

Also do you mean 70's/80's Speilberg not 90's???

And to place Iron Giant with the other fils listed is terrible.

[Marvin]

First off not once did you mention JJ Abrams. And there's also a confusion between tipoff and homage. While it's too early to decide which is which, I'm gonna stay positive.

he's pretty much the only reason I have hope for this film, in another world this film is just another abrams show that would only have a niche audience and I would be a part of it.

Also do you mean 70's/80's Speilberg not 90's???

I did mean pre 90s yea, after that he lost his special factor with the exception of Jpark, he was making stuff like the terminal and minority report and war of the worlds, ok films but not what he's remembered for.

I can't remember if hook was 90's.

And to place Iron Giant with the other fils listed is terrible.

I placed it there because it performed in a "lame" way
after the magic of the formula had long since died.

[Octoberist]

We'll see. I think it'll be 'homage' done right this time. :)

That being said, I think one of the reasons why WB opted out of showing Green Lantern during the Super Bowl was for two reasons.

1.) Wanted to show off the second trailer (and poster) when 'Sucker Punch' is out.

2.) I really think they're still not enough polished CGI for Hal's suit. It's no longer an effect but a piece of digital wardrobe. That, along with all of the CGI, this probably will be the most effects heavy against Thor and Captain America.

[Doctor Jones]

Super 8 looks amazing.

But I don't get it. Once again, paradoxical. People wished they got more action and yet, when we do, we complain they show too much. They showed just enough for Cap. I want more, and that's how you do a trailer. Let's wait to watch the entire film for the money shots. I understand putting the asses in the seats, but come on, watching the film in its entirety and it unfolding without knowing anything that's about to happen is the best thing ever. Especially if that moment is great.

Imagine if they put the bat pod twirl on the wall in one of the tv spots for TDK. It wouldn't have gotten that "Woah!" reaction from the audience and the rest of us.

[Octoberist]

The Captain America spot was super effective. For God's sakes, to those complaining about the lack of action it was only like 30 seconds long.

[protocida]

I think the only thing it missed was a shield toss.

[Nightwing]

Apparently the full trailer is coming on the 18th...so I imagine we'll get one then. Still, I was very pleased with what we got for 30 seconds.

[LuisTX85]

Any news on a 2nd full trailer for GL or Thor??

[Nightwing]

It was posted a few weeks ago that GL would be with Sucker Punch.

[Octoberist]

Along with the poster I hope. I mean, where is the Green Lantern poster?

I agree about Thor. Its like they go from Lord of the Rings to TV road movie. Might work better once it plays out as a whole movie.
But yeah CAP has been getting great buzz. Green Lantern not so much yet. Definitely a missed opportunity not having DC represented at Superbowl.

[BigThor]

C'mon does every superhero movie have to take place in big cities? I mean seriously, who cares what city he's in when he's on earth because for the most part he won't have his powers.

I'll be so happy when Thor finally comes out and becomes a box office success, because all of these doubts are becoming very annoying.

Thor's budget is around 150 million and Cap's is around the same, don't let the superbowl spot go to your heads because they're not going the "Incredible Hulk/Iron Man route" again.

They're going to have about the same amount of promotion, you people are going overboard just because of Cap's 30 sec trailer. It's only natural that it's receiving more buzz than Thor's, since it is the very FIRST footage released from the film (smh).

[Hush]

So why the hell are we talking about the Cap and Thor trailers in the Green Lantern News thread?

[The Sage]

It started with people coming and asking why wasn't there a GL super bowl spot.

[Marvin]

I think if all films were done right that GL has(had) the most chance for worldwide success. It's pretty much star trek.

I can't wait to see which comic film comes out on top I cap the marvel films at 250 domestic, GL will either pass 300 or not pass 200

[Dark Knight]

Agreed. The best teaser trailers, were Super 8, T3, Cowboys and Aliens, Rango. The Fast Five trailer was even better than the Marvel films spots.

Thor was MEH and the CA spot was kinda cheesy and underwhelming.

[Octoberist]

I don't see why Captain America's spot was cheesy or underwhelming. It's pulpy. Even if I tried to see what you're saying.

Anyway, moving on...

Its cute to see how GL supporters are tying to defend all the crap that has come out from GL and all the great and well reviewed stuff from the Marvel camp.

GL looks like it could do good, but maybe just top out at 200 domestically.

[Octoberist]

I still have hope for Green Lantern. It's not KOed or anything but it's just that WB hasn't been hyping up the film (yet). The trailer in March will be the true(r) indicator to see how the movie could be like, more so than the mixed teaser it had.

[Dark Knight]

Doesn't really matter what happens now does it?

We all know Marvel overhypes and shoots their wads before the films out and when they do....they are just mediocre and fans are left disappointed.

[chiefchirpa]

Thor was MEH and the CA spot was kinda cheesy and underwhelming.

GL 1st trailer was MEH, cheesy, and underwhelming.

[Dark Knight]

Thor's budget is around 150 million and Cap's is around the same, don't let the superbowl spot go to your heads because they're not going the "Incredible Hulk/Iron Man route" again.

They're going to have about the same amount of promotion, you people are going overboard just because of Cap's 30 sec trailer. It's only natural that it's receiving more buzz than Thor's, since it is the very FIRST footage released from the film (smh).




Don't understand why fan boys are all giddy over the Cap spot? I haven't seen anything that makes me think it will a great film.

Wait until the film comes out and lets see if it winds up being mediocre, like the most Marvels other crap.

[Dark Knight]

GL 1st trailer was MEH, cheesy, and underwhelming.


Underwhelming yes....cheesy no...and meh no.

[Micah12345]

I wonder if that one dude is really playing john stewart. Feels strange that they wouldn't try for a bigger name.

[arman200]

I will be honest with you guys, I am going to agree with the opinion of Variety's Brian Lowry (http://weblogs.variety.com/bltv/2011/02/super-bowl-xlv-how-did-movie-studio-ads-look.html?query=captain+america) on his assessment of the Superbowl ad spots. I belive there were missed opportunities by "Captain America: The First Avenger" in that they could have included more action scenes. Because "Thor" had already had a longer 2 minute plus trailer, it might be plausible that they had a more streamlined version as a 30 second clip. The better of the film trailers were "Transformers: Darkside of the Moon" and "Cowboys and Aliens" (yes, I said that I don't mix my westerns with my sci-fi, but looking at the trailer objectively it seems that they exploited more aspects of the film in the short period of time they had).
I like Cowboys and Aliens, but Transformers?! If I put that spot alongside action scenes from the first two, you couldn't tell which was which.

Anyway, Green Lantern, when again is the next trailer coming out? March?

[Whiskey Tango]

Funny seeing you throw the fanboy label around, considering your own extreme company bias. It's too bad you shackle yourself choosing sides; you'd get to enjoy twice as many cool superhero flicks if only you were more open-minded.

[Randal Graves]

so why the hell are we talking about the cap and thor trailers in the green lantern news thread?
i know, right?!

[WormyT]

C'mon does every superhero movie have to take place in big cities? I mean seriously, who cares what city he's in when he's on earth because for the most part he won't have his powers.

I'll be so happy when Thor finally comes out and becomes a box office success, because all of these doubts are becoming very annoying.
No. All movies don't have to be set in cities. But I'm just going on what folks were saying about the trailer. But everyone said they'd see it. I think my girl is looking forward to thor more than Cap or GL.

I think it will do well. Might even beat GL but definitely not Cap.

[KRIM]

I like Cowboys and Aliens, but Transformers?! If I put that spot alongside action scenes from the first two, you couldn't tell which was which.
I'm not understanding your point here. How is this different from any other action-featured series?

[arman200]

I'm not understanding your point here. How is this different from any other action-featured series?

They try to up the ante in terms of action, not mimic the same scenes of their predecessors and add different reactions. I can definitely tell the difference between the action scenes in the lord of the rings movies, or distinguish Dark knight action scenes from Batman Begins. I can tell you which Iron Man movie a particular action bit is from, or even the Harry Potter flicks. But if you sat me down and played those Transformers action scenes together, I honestly couldn't tell you which bits belonged to which movie.

[BigThor]

No. All movies don't have to be set in cities. But I'm just going on what folks were saying about the trailer. But everyone said they'd see it. I think my girl is looking forward to thor more than Cap or GL.

I think it will do well. Might even beat GL but definitely not Cap.

But that's the point it's not "competing" with Cap, they're both on the same side and are working towards the same thing.

I think Thor will do better worldwide and "overall", while Cap has big possiblity of doing better in the USA.
Doesn't really matter what happens now does it?

We all know Marvel overhypes and shoots their wads before the films out and when they do....they are just mediocre and fans are left disappointed.

Let's not be biased here, "Marvel Studios" hasn't put out a bad movie yet...don't downplay Marvel just because of FOX's bad movies.

1)Iron Man = Great
2)The Incredible Hulk = Good
3)Iron Man 2 = Fairly Good (just not as good as the first)

I agree with you on the comment that "Cap's t.v. spot is overhyped right now" but it does look like a good film. Thor's t.v. wasn't suppose to be "amazing", because it already has a full trailer so it's t.v. spot was just to raise "awareness".

[dnno1]

I like Cowboys and Aliens, but Transformers?! If I put that spot alongside action scenes from the first two, you couldn't tell which was which.

Anyway, Green Lantern, when again is the next trailer coming out? March?

True that you almost couldn't tell, but the name and the remarkable charaters give "Transformers" the edge here. Rumor has it that the next trailer will be aired in March with Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch". It kind of makes sense since that's a WB picture and they did that before with Harry Potter. Kind of helpe out the film by attracting other fans.

[dnno1]

So why the hell are we talking about the Cap and Thor trailers in the Green Lantern News thread?

Because there are plants in this tread to place a bug in people's ear to go and watch those films.

[BigThor]

Because there are plants in this tread to place a bug in people's ear to go an watch those films.

I'm going to see Thor, Cap, and GL and I hope many people see all three films as well. It's not even that serious, because different heroes are brought up in every superhero's thread.

I don't see why people are so competitive with these films, I say the more superhero films the better. It's not like it's gonna affect us of either of these movies do better than the other.

Trust me, I'm most definately gonna watch GL in theaters and I'm most likely going to go see it numerous times (depends on how good it is).

He's one of my favorite superheroes :hal:

[chiefchirpa]

Underwhelming yes....cheesy no...and meh no.

Cheesy - liners including "I know, right?" "Let's take off this pants and fly some planes" and the end changing costume sequence that looks like a kid showing off.
Meh - So so CGI

Again, your mileages may vary.

The "I know right" line really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It's kind of realistic really, I mean in real life people don't say amazingly "witty" things all the time.

If I was given a GL power ring I don't know what I'd say, but I know it wouldn't be witty and I wouldn't care a bit.

Nathan Fillion will be voicing Hal in the GL DTV and had kind words to say about Reynolds...

Exclusive First Look: Nathan Fillion Lights It Up as Green Lantern
Feb 7, 2011 01:53 PM ET
by Rich Sands2 Comments

He's enjoying mainstream success as the star of ABC's Castle, but Nathan Fillion is still a fanboy favorite — and a fanboy himself. So the Firefly and Dr. Horrible alum totally geeked out when he was offered the voice role of DC Comics superhero Green Lantern in the DVD movie Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, due June 7 from Warner Bros. Animation. Emerald Knights is a series of vignettes about the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force. Fillion plays Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern of Earth's space sector, who mentors Arisia, a new recruit played by Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss. "I was always reading the comic books, I was always a spectator," Fillion says. "Now I feel like I own a little piece of Green Lantern."

And he's getting to share it with an old friend, Ryan Reynolds, who is starring in the Green Lantern feature film, which opens 10 days after the DVD comes out. Both actors got their big breaks together on the ABC sitcom Two Guys and a Girl. "He's a great guy, a gem, deserves all the success that he's getting," says Fillion, "so it's neat to have a little piece and share it with someone you know.

The voice cast for Green Lantern: Emerald Knights also includes Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy from the Harry Potter movies), Kelly Hu (Hawaii Five-0, The Vampire Diaries), actor/spoken-word artist Henry Rollins and ex-wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

[chiefchirpa]

Wow they got Isaacs as Sinestro. I think Isaacs is even more menacing than Mark Strong.

[The Batman]

.....Jesus, even more stupid fanboy crap.

TBH, GL, Thor, AND Cap dont look mindblowing so far. They'll have some action and some visuals, but they dont look like they'll set the world on fire.

[BigThor]

.....Jesus, even more stupid fanboy crap.

TBH, GL, Thor, AND Cap dont look mindblowing so far. They'll have some action and some visuals, but they dont look like they'll set the world on fire.

What are you referring too?

I agree, they don't look mind blowing but honestly I've never seen a "first official trailer" or "t.v. spot" that was really mind blowing. I didn't think TDK or Iron Man was going to set the world on fire, but we ALL know they did.

[Dark Knight]

Because there are plants in this tread to place a bug in people's ear to go and watch those films.


Exactly.

Marvel probably hires plants to try and create good word of mouth for there films....because most of the time they know damn well, their films will wind up being crap or mediocre at best.

[Dark Knight]

Funny seeing you throw the fanboy label around, considering your own extreme company bias. It's too bad you shackle yourself choosing sides; you'd get to enjoy twice as many cool superhero flicks if only you were more open-minded.


I am open minded. The fact of the matter is Marvel tends to overhype their films and the final product winds up being terrible, or just mediocre at best.

Look at their history when it comes to the films they have released.

Most of them are below average.

Mind blowing is subjective thing. What is mind blowing to one observer could blow to another. Saying that you've never seen a trailer or TV spot that was really mind blowing is actually not saying anything. Go ask a (Ang Lee's) Hulk about "Hulk" or a Nolanite about "Inception" see what the response would be.

Here's more on it - http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/news.php/news.php?action=fullnews&id=961

And the first image. Looks like they went with the same art style from First Flight.

http://worldsfinestonline.com/WF/dcuam/greenlanternek/01.jpg

Interesting that they went with fan favorite Fillion to play Jordan.
And yeah, Jason Isaacs as Sinistro is great, looks like they are following the English accent from the movie.

This DTV will also feature an original Abin Sur flashback story, to bad they couldn’t get Temuera Morrison. Although Arnold Vosloo is a great choice.

Also:
Arisia, (Elezabeth Moss)
Kilowog, (Henry Rollins )
Mogo vs Roddy Piper( Bolphunga)
Laira (Kelly Hu )
Deegan. (Wade Williams )

How can a company "overhype" their products? What are they suppose to say, "we got some bad films here so don't go out and support them. It's called promotion and marketing dude, they're suppose to push their products as hard as they can.

They're only 3 Marvel films released so far and according to the critics ALL of them are above medicore.

Guys, there's really no point arguing with Dark Knight. This guy will (and has) **** all over any Marvel movie

Again, your mileages may vary.

One liners aside, it was not a good trailer at all. It was a highly anticipated 2011 movie, but excitement as deflated somewhat. Marketing is extremely important for this summer, because even if its an amazing movie, the word of mouth buzz won't help much.There's just so many movies coming out each week.
Next trailer should be slick and carefully crafted.And perhaps we'll see some effects and not just him pointing his ring off camera.

[BigThor]

I agree with you completely.

I'm still looking forward to it, but like what you said, the excitement has been somewhat deflated due to the first trailer. It's hard to track a project like Green Lantern in such a vulnerable state of post-production that it currently is in, but they need a trailer that will blow you mind. The last trailer I thought left a 'meh' taste in most people's mouths who are not too familiar with the comic (of course if you're a fan of GL you gonna like it more. Naturally. But a movie like this is targeting a much more broad audience since it's a bigger demo.)

[Octoberist]

Like I will continue to point out, there's only really 3 Marvel movies :word:

I'm sorry but 'Dark Knight' has the wrong attitude towards Mavel. You can like both Marvel and DC movies, unless you have invested some money into DC or something.

[Octoberist]

Is that really the first image, or a screenshot of 'First Flight'. I thought the series was CGI.

[Sgt.Pepper]

That's the first image of Emerald Knights. I think you were mixing between this and Green Lantern: The Animated Series which will be CGI.

[Octoberist]

Oopppss

[Dark Knight]

I'm sorry but 'Dark Knight' has the wrong attitude towards Mavel. You can like both Marvel and DC movies, unless you have invested some money into DC or something.


My attitude is just fine actually. Sorry, if I hurt the Marvel trolls feelings on a GL thread and made them cry.

I liked the 2nd Spider Man film....I liked the 2nd X-Men film and I liked the first Iron Man film. The 2nd Hulk film was okay, mainly because the 1st Hulk film was just so bad and ill conceived....so it didn't take much to improve upon the 1st.

Most of the other films based on Marvel characters were crap IMO. I was extremely disappointed with Daredevil. I could not even finish watching the Fantastic Four films.

I will wait to see the actual films and keep my expectations low, especially when it comes to a Marvel film. I have learned my lesson. They always overhype their films and then under deliver. Over promising and under delivering is never a good combination.

[Marvin]

Looks like the gl DTV might actually be better than the feature (in some ways).

kidding, there is way to much apprehensive judging, I can't wait till summers over and we can sort out the bodies in hindsight. Marvel films will be marvel films but DC is a wild card.

as for trailers that set the (geek) world on fire, Zack Snyder had done it almost everytime, not so much with suckerpunch.

[Mondragon]

Is that really the first image, or a screenshot of 'First Flight'. I thought the series was CGI.

The upcoming TV cartoon series is CGI

This is something different however, It's a second DTV feature called Green Lantern: Emerald Knights - which follows the art style of First Flight.
And includes several separate stories of several Green Lanterns, and one story tying them all together.

It stars:

@Dark Knight

Don't make me send you to the corner, you crazy kid you!

[mcallima]

Of course a person can like both DC and Marvel, but there's also nothing wrong with only liking one or the other. I'm one of those guys, I grew up with DC and I've just never been able to get into Marvel.

It's all subjective anyway, so I don't think Dark Knight should be judged poorly for having a negative opinion of Marvel's films.

[Whiskey Tango]

My attitude is just fine actually. Sorry, if I hurt the Marvel trolls feelings on a GL thread and made them cry.

Me-OW!

http://i54.tinypic.com/eq6ucl.jpg

:awesome:

[Micah12345]

I grew up with DC as well, and though I've tried to earnestly get into marvel dozens of times, I've finally just given up and admitted that marvel isn't for me. DC is my one and only comics love. I actually kind of resent marvel for putting out so many mediocre superhero movies, because I'm afraid they're gonna kill off interest.

You already owned up to liking Iron Man and Incredible Hulk. That's two out of three Marvel-produced films you enjoyed. That's a concession as far as I'm concerned. :up:

So what's the latest on GL? Any idea when a new trailer is due?

New trailer is supposed to be attached to Sucker Punch.

[I Am The Knight]

How many times can people ask the same question? Trailer's due in March, with Sucker Punch.

[Whiskey Tango]

New trailer is supposed to be attached to Sucker Punch.

Thanks for giving me a straight answer without the ****head attitude. Looking forward to it as I'll most likely make the trip to see Sucker Punch.

I actually thought the TV Guide article was just using that picture since it's the latest version of an animated Hal we've gotten outside of Brave & the Bold.

I was hoping we'd get a new style.

[Project862006]

they really need to hit the next trailer out the park i enjoyed the last trailer but i can see why people did'nt

[Cousin Itt]

How may times do I have to tell you dude, there's only 3 Marvel films. You can't blame Marvel just because FOX has made crappy adaptations of Marve heroes.

You're taargeting the wrong company, if anything you should say FOX makes crappy superhero films.

[J.Howlett]

I think Green Lantern will be fine. Never, ever judge a trailer based on music edits and unfinished visual effects. They never show up in the actual product anyway.

The thing about the first trailer is that they point to a larger universe we've never seen before in this genre...and that's what got me excited.

Personally, I'm not entirely thrilled that Sony Pictures Imageworks is doing the visual effects. They've been making strides but they're not where ILM, Weta, and Digital Domain are...yet.

Maybe this will finally be their coming out party because out of all the superhero films to date, this one is the most dependent on visual effects. They HAVE to work.

I feel the same way, that's what I still have a positive outlook on Green Lantern. You're right about Sony Pictures Imageworks, they do have to WORK because GL is going to be very effect heavy (like it should be).

[I Am The Knight]

All the Oa/space stuff looked gorgeous. The only part where the CGI looked iffy was at the end at the apartment.

[The Sage]

All the Oa/space stuff looked gorgeous. The only part where the CGI looked iffy was at the end at the apartment.

That was the main flaw of the CGI from the trailer.

I agree with J. Howlett and I felt the same way when Sony Imageworks got this gig. I hope they really have stepped it up. That shot of Sinestro in his suit was near flawless in the trailer and I hope that that kind of work is shown on the rest of them, especially Hal's.

[Octoberist]

I agree. The main thing that was the problem was some of the shots of Ryan's suit. Otherwise, the CGI looked fine.

[solidsnake86]

I also feel like it might have to do with the design of reynolds suit and the patterning, I would have liked if they went for something like sinestro's suit for him.

[arman200]

I don't think it's the design, there's just much more shots of Hal, so getting Sinestro's suit down wasn't as hard.

I disagree on the thing about it just being ryan's suit that looked bad. I wasn't big on some of the flying through space effects, those could use some work as well.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

HENRY ROLLINS IS KILOWOG?! :awesome: Rollins should be in every movie. :up:

[Antonello Blueberry]

By the way, with all the great names doing voice work on the animated stuff, why haven't we heard who'll be voicing the Lanterns in the movie?

[BigThor]

Well, only one more month until the second official trailer and I can't wait to see more shots of Hal using constructs. I also can't wait to see atleast one shot of Hector Hammond actually use his telekinisis.
