Official Green Lantern News & Discussion Thread - Part 1

She also has a big nose. She's cute but not perfect.

 

[dnno1]

its not that she is in a bar.

in the image she looks like a magazine super model.

And she's drinking whiskey. Pretty macho for a woman... but then again, she's also a testpilot too. Maybe we are not looking at the same picture here. What are you getting at?

 

[JAK®]

It seems to me dark_b is making a comment on how female roles are cast in comic book movies. Which, to be honest, has been lackluster for the most part.

The problem is we have very little footage of Lively to judge whether she will be another mediocre love interest. And if we're going to judge her for being too pretty, then we should also be criticising Reynolds for looking like a GQ model.

Besides, she looked like a pilot in the locker room scene in the trailer. She wasn't too made up there.

You know, I am not going to assume anything. Let dark_b answer that for himslef if he is brave enough to do so. All I can see is that he voiced his concern about Blake lively standing out in a picture of her in a bar. For crying out loud, she is a woman. Even if she was a test pilot, she is entitled to look like a woman isn't she? As far as female roles go, this film is supposed to be about Green Lantern. Sure, his girlfriend/boss/significant other is Carol Ferris, but this film should be less about her and more about the adventures of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps.

Agreed t:

While "love interests" are an important part of cmb films, but they play second fiddle to the title hero's "adventures" and their character development.

 

[DieSmiling]

I actually think Blake Lively will surprise some people, and be strong in the role. She's pretty and young, and people think of her as "that chick from Gossip Girl" but she's been good in other stuff I've seen her in. She was better than expected in The Town.

 

[BigThor]

Yeah Blake Lively was pretty good in The Town, I think people are underrating her a little too much.

 

[dark_b]

i think some here are making a way to big deal out of her role in The Town.

plus her acting in the trailer was pathetic.

What 'acting'? We got two 'lines', one of which seems to be chopped together from several other lines.

 

[dark_b]

i guess lets whait and see

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Yeah Blake Lively was pretty good in The Town, I think people are underrating her a little too much.

I didn't realize that was her but yeah, she seemed solid enough.

 

[dnno1]

We went about a month with almost non stop info about Green Lantern be it about merchandising, DTV, the video game, or about the film. Now today there is no news. This must be the calm before the storm.

 

[BigThor]

I just said she was pretty good in The Town and someone else said she was solid, that's not really making "too much" out of anything.

 

[Doctor Jones]

God, I want there to be a trailer. Because this went from being my most anticipated film of this year to like the third. This trailer is really going to have to do the right thing and excite me about it again.

 

[Sawyer]

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I don't think WB will be too bothered unless you only plan on seeing two movies this year.

Don't believe the hype. Before all is said and done what you thought would be hits may turn out to be disappointments and vice verse.

GREEN LANTERN STARS RYAN REYNOLDS, BLAKE LIVELY & PETER SARSGAARD SET FOR MULTI-PLATFORM WONDER CON PRESENCE

Fans attending on Friday, April 1st, the first day of WonderCon, will be treated to a special “Green Lantern” talent signing and panel featuring stars of the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures feature film: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and Peter Sarsgaard. The signing begins at 4 p.m., followed by the panel discussion at 5.
The highly anticipated “Green Lantern” movie, in theatres on June 17, 2011, will be the first live-action feature film to star the popular DC Comics character. The film relates the origin story of alter ego Hal Jordan (Reynolds), a test pilot and the first human chosen to wear the ring that provides him his superpowers.

Following the opening day panel, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps will have a deep and diverse presence throughout the weekend due to the combined efforts of DC Entertainment (DCE) and the various divisions of Warner Bros. Entertainment, including Warner Home Video (WHV), Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) and Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP).
WHV will present the World Premiere of the Blu-ray and DVD feature “Green Lantern: Emerald Knights” on Friday evening in the Esplanade Ballroom, immediately followed by a panel discussion featuring filmmakers and voice cast members. Panelists will also take part in an autograph session on Saturday. The all new DC Universe Animated Original Movie weaves six interlocking stories of the Green Lantern Corps’ rich mythology around preparations for an attack by an ancient enemy.
Also on Friday, DC Comics will host a panel about the Green Lantern comic books and the 2011 War of the Green Lanterns crossover event. The DC booth will host Green Lantern-themed signings and giveaways throughout the weekend.
WBIE and DCE will showcase “Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters,” an action-adventure videogame that will be available in conjunction with the theatrical release of “Green Lantern.” Throughout the Con, visitors to the DC Comics booth will be able to get hands-on time with the game that delivers an immersive experience for Green Lantern fans of all ages.

WBCP’s worldwide licensing program for the highly anticipated “Green Lantern” film has already taken the industry by storm. Product manufacturers around the world have come together to capture and unleash the power of Green Lantern, who lit the way at this year’s Toy Fair, with master toy licensee Mattel bringing to life a comprehensive toy line inspired by the upcoming film. Visitors at WonderCon will get a sneak peek of the toy line, along with the opportunity to be “chosen” to win some of the popular products, long before they hit retail shelves.
All this and more begins with the “Green Lantern” signing at 4 p.m. and panel at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 1, 2011. WonderCon opens the doors to the main floor at noon. The event runs all weekend, through Sunday, April 3rd, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
