Official Green Lantern News & Discussion Thread - Part 2

Looks fantastic.

I'm tired of stressing out about GL and whether it will be liked or a hit etc. I just want to be excited about it. I think it will be EPIC. It feels more epic to me than the other superhero movies coming out this year, in terms of how far it can go with its story. I just want to finally look forward to it and not stress out about everything else.

If you look at that new poster it does show the potential of how bad ass this franchise could/will be. All the trailers have to do is play it straight. Looking at that past trailer they totally sold the wrong tone and I hope the next one shows some bad ass tone.

nice

their lack of promotion combined with the poor response to the first trailer...it'd be extremely wise of WB to release that footage to the masses. it seems people have reacted extremely positive to it, and they desperately need to spread that sentiment to as many people as possible.

fanboy greed aside, they need to do it.

It might not be a bad idea to air it somewhere on TV either.

 

[RoughNTumble]

but on a channel that people watch, instead of the CW

 

[Rezzo]

Starting to regain my excitement with all the recent pictures and footage description. Hopefully WB releases the footage tomorrow online.

 

[Motown Marvel]

if they were to air it on TV they should find a high rated show like dancing with the stars or whatever and promote the episode of having an "exclusive sneak peak at this summers biggest movie event" sort of deal.

Air it during Big Bang Theory. WB owns them, right?

 

[RoughNTumble]

I don't know, but it doesn't really get much lower common denominator than that.

****ing hate that show, but with the viewers that thing gets, that wouldn't be a bad idea. And, yeah, I think it's a Warner Bros. Television show.

Counter-Point: Between 12-14 million viewers every week.

 

[Motown Marvel]

they could actually do an episode of big bang theory centering on the idea of extremist fanboy internet mentality which would include the two dudes arguing over the quality of the first green lantern trailer and end with them being exposed to this new footage (which we'd all see) and then they'd geek out like school girls on prom night.

i await my royalty check.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

THAT, sir! Is a brilliant idea!

 

[JamalYIgle]

The trailer will be out with Thor on May 6th.

The trailer will be out with Thor on May 6th.

Yahoo! tweeted that they will have it a week before.

What did you think of the footage (if you saw it?)

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Dunno what ta make of that tweet. The good star wars movies were the old ones. The new ones... Not so much.

 

[Octoberist]

They meant the Real (wink) Star Wars - the old ones. Not the new ones.

 

[Octoberist]

I like searching through twitter and correcting anyone who says 'Green Lantern is black. Everyone knows that!'

 

[Wesley Dodds]

In that case, excellent!
Octo, dont you think it's gonna be really weird when this movie actually comes out? We've all been following it so long on this site... The day it comes out'll almost feel lke some sort of glorious dream.

 

[DarkKnight FTW]

What did you think of the footage (if you saw it?)

I haven't seen it, I hope they do release it tomorrow...at least the Sinestro scene! That scene PWNS from the description of it!

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah, I guess dreams do come true!

We've (yes, you too Dnno ) been rooting for this movie since it's greenlight.

 

[Octoberist]

It kinda shows how WB is not a stupid studio, unlike a certain few. They have a firm grasp on what's going on..

 

[Maze]

So Green lantern wowed wonder con!

 

[Zacky]

I can't believe the movie is coming out in two months. I always thought this movie will never be made.

 

[Karelia]

I'm so happy to hear it's getting praise at Wonder Con. This movie was been getting so much hate from other sites, it was pretty ridiculous. I always had a good feeling about it when they cast RR as Hal & Mark Strong for Sinestro. It just (IMO) seems so much more interesting than the other CBM's coming out this year. No disrespect to the others, because I'm really looking forward to them all and will be seeing them all in theater. I've been rooting for this one the most though.
