Here is Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern!

[camp Blood]

Awesome I knew that's what parallax would be, the demon entity. you can even go back a few pages to see my post

Maybe they will change it up and have parallax possess sinestro all I know is that I have a feeling we will see yellow lantern sinestro by the end of this movie

 

[The Guard]

I doubt we'll see Sinestro getting the fear-driven ring yet. I know the script hints at it, and flat out says "Golden Ring".

 

[Weadazoid]

So what is the scale on this thing?

MAD props on Parralax. I was always pissed that Fox decided to never give the Phoenix force any kind of physical manifestation.


It's nice to see a simmilar 'cosmic psyionic' force will be given some kind of form.


Though I imagine It will be kind of ghostly, maybe like an appritition in appearance. Seems to be some evidence in that shot that it isn't 100% solid in form.

Very prehistoric looking -great concept.

So what is the scale on this thing?

Hal jordan is 6" tall.

 

[lixdexia]

Hal jordan is 6" tall.

that's kind of irrelevant as that pic of jordan was added after the fact and we have no idea if it's to scale or not.

 

[The Guard]

Parallax is made of light, isn't it? Wouldn't it be able to stretch and change shape and whatnot?

 

[kedrell]

Didn't I see something like that in Finding Nemo?

 

[camp Blood]

Then I hope we at least see a yellow lantern ring maybe a after credits scene of sinestro picking it up I am really interested in how it will look

 

[Chris Wallace]

well that's not really a fair assessment then is it. i haven't heard any complaints about the new x-men movie, but i'm sure there are plenty

If i frequent the boards and I see more complaints in one area than in another, I'm probably going to conclude that there are more complaints in that area. If I only pop in once in a blue moon, then I really don't have a lot of basis for judgement.

only always

Wow. At least Tony Stark will make sure you get home.

Any hope of a blackest night story line later on in the GL movie franchise maybe by the 3rd or 4th film

They do plan on this lasting more then 3 films a'la nolans batman trilogy, right?

Blackest Night is too much of a DC Universe story to really work right. Not only do they have to include the Justice League and other DC heroes, etc. you have the fact that a lot of them are dead. Part of what BN cool was seeing DC characters duke it out with the Dead characters. They probably could make a version that's entirely GL focused, but that still requires a hell of a lot of build-up that they probably couldn't pull off in 2 movies (Not counting the this one, since it's an Origin.)

Sinestro Corps Wars however, would make an awesome 3rd or 4th Part. They can still work the story around and still keep what made it great.

 

[Chris Wallace]

That's the problem as I see it, too.

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah. I'd say keep it simple.

If it was GL-centered seeing Hal have to go up Black Lantern Martin Jordan and Black Lantern Abin Sur would be pretty cool though.

It could be done, actually.

First Movie: Hal Jordan becomes a Green Lantern. Hector Hammond is infected by the yellow light of fear wielded by Parallax.

Second Movie: The Manhunters return seeking revenge against the Green Lantern Corps and the Star Sapphires are created by the Zamarons. The Massacre of Sector 666 and the Five Inversions led by Atrocitus appear, as well as John Stewart.

Third Movie: Sinestro creates the Sinestro Corps War and Parallax is freed to assist him to conquer the Universe. Hal and John are introduced to Guy Gardner and the prophecy. In the end, the Black Power Battery is created.

Fourth Movie: Atrocitus tames the red light of rage and creates the Red Lantern Corps to seek revenge against both the Green Lanterns and the Sinestro Corps. The Blue Lanterns are created by the now renegade Ganthet and Sayd to assist Hal, John, Guy and the newly introduced Kyle Rayner.

Fifth Movie: Larfleeze, the Agent Orange, is introduced, as well as the Indigo Tribe led by Indigo-1. All players are put in motion.

Sixth Movie: The Blackest Night arrives. Nekron, Scar and William Hand create a army of drone Black Lanterns whose power rings create illusions that force their victims to have emotional responses in order to destroy all life and light. Hal, Carol, Sinestro, Atrocitus, Larfleeze, Saint Walker and Indigo-1 have to join forces to destroy them.

But it would never happen.

 

[That-Guy]

I always thought the comic book Parallax looked kind of ridiculous, but they seem to have made it work with this image. Of course, we'll have to see what it looks like on the big screen.

I hope that, somewhere down the road we do get to see Hal/Parallax. I wouldn't want Hal to be turned into a villain (at least not permanently) but I just want to see that awesome costume on screen. That was one of my favorite designs ever.

It would be pretty neat if it was big several-chapter series leading up to an epic conclusion, since Green Lantern is one of the tentpoles they're using to fill the Potter-void.

 

[camp Blood]

Yeah I was thinking keep it within the various lantern corps, sorry if I sound ******ed but I can help but imagine all the awesome GL mythology that will be epic on the big screen

I picture a awesome space battle with really epic orchestra music in the back round with somebody screaming " LET THIS BE OUR FINAL BATTLE!!"

That sounds really good but it won't happen. I wish it would.

 

[Capt Throbberson]

That's actually a pretty good idea.

Since they're apparently already mentioning the emotional spectrum and using Parallax, you could probably tie Sinestro Corps in with Sinestro going rogue, have him meet the Anti-Monitor right when he gets banished and form the corps. Just a few mentions of there being a evil being as powerful of the Guardians in the first Act and it'd probably be enough for the general audience to buy it. They don't really need the to include other corps as long as it's established that they exist. They could also hint at the whole Blackest Night prophecy thing when Sinestro is mentoring Hal and investigate Sur's death.

Then by the third movie, you have a decent abridged Blackest Night set up. The second movie was Lantern Corps focused so there will naturally be some dead Lanterns the audience knows. Add in any other dead characters from the first movie, like Martin and Abin, and you have a decent Black Lantern Corps roster. They might even be able to include the other Corps, or at least some of them in this movie if they couldn't in the second.

There you go. If they breakdown the arcs to their basics and work with them a little they have a decent trilogy on their hands. The "Huge Universe we're only know apart of" Sci-Fi-ness is established right off the bat and gives the writers a lot of lee-way with the story. I take what I said back, the stories do work. The only problem is that this will piss off the fanboys but they're going to be pissed off either way, and will still most likely watch the movies anyway.

 

[The Sage]

I'm kinda hoping they keep the emotional spectrum to two or three colors in the movie series.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

They have to include Yellow and Star Sapphire. I would also like to see Red. If that's it I don't mind but I don't have a problem with seeing all of them.

 

[arman200]

I'm kinda hoping they keep the emotional spectrum to two or three colors in the movie series.

That's what I would expect to see. But I'd hope they at least show the existence of the other color-based powers, even if they don't fully explore the corps for each color.

But the film summary listed above would be pretty damn awesome to see on screen. It's a shame that wouldn't happen.

 

[camp Blood]

What about different colored lights in a central hall oh some kind

They could also explain it like if a lantern Corp member is completely over taken by a certain emotion there suit turns that corresponding color
