Official Green Lantern News & Discussion Thread - Part 4

[Sgt.Pepper]

I'm a bit behind with the news but those posters with Sinestro and Kilowog were great.

 

[The Sage]

Of course they don't have to be short if they are good, I rather have the stuff that sounds boring turn out to be good. One of my main concerns is the personalities of some of the characters, I don't want them coming off as average Joes too much. One thing that I am digging is the relationship that Hector has with his dad, they are two dudes who are suppose to be unlikable guys against each other in some way, then there is the super villain vs super villain side. It's kind of been done in Batman Returns, but that was different and this will be different too. In Batman Returns you had Catwoman, Max Shrek, and The Penguin going at each other.

Along with that, I'm also hoping to see some time spent on the relationship between Hal and his family. We already know Martin Jordan's, his father, will be in the movie briefly.

 

[KalMart]

I know that I'll be out of luck, but to what extent?

Whatever percentage of the film takes place on Earth?

 

[KalMart]

Showtime and Filmnerjamie. do you remember how much money was spend on the extra money shots in SUperman Returns? i remember some news that Singer got more money for some extra action money shots.

the reason why i am asking this is because 9 millions is a lot of money to me. but 9 millions is IMO not a lot of money for a 200 million summer production. so if someone here is expecting that the whole movie will look better because of 9 then i think they are wrong.
GL has CGI suits. . not jsut one but 2. and they have CGI aliens. and again not one alien but sometimes 3 aliens together in close up . try to understand that for perfect photorealism GL would have to have at least 2 years of preproduction and 1 WHOLE year of post production.

Again, the Variety article...from which this news/amount was sourced...goes into a bit more detail about how this is a growing issue with a lot of heavy-EFX films, not just GL having a big red flag, so to speak....

Yeah they cost $9 million.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

Another thing that I like is how Hal is seemingly distant from his family because of the death of his dad, you normally don't get something that from a superhero movie where the main hero ignores his family members just because of the death of one family member. So that too injects more freshness into the movie, and then to top it off, you got the relationship between Hal and Carol Ferris. There hasn't been any comic book movies where the superhero get's romanticy with his boss. Their relationship shall only get more interesting if there is a sequel with Carol becoming the Star Sapphire.

Actually it happened in Ironman 2, but I won't count that since the story arc changed gears (Pepper resigning from being in charge of Tony's company).

Sounds to me like that's how much it costs to add another scene and compress the schedule to make the release date. It won't matter if the added scene brings an extra $9 million in box office, though. Maybe they are going to add a CGI sex scene or something?

[S.A.A.D.]

OH MY EFFING GOD. It's 9:42am in the morning, and I am loving it, well minus the excessive and pretty damn noisy wind outside.

Is there going to be another but larger pic of the new banner?

this inspired me to think what most people would do with a green lantern ring.

Sure. Very soon.

 

[dnno1]

Yeah, like ring up a victory feast! :thumbs:

 

[S.A.A.D.]

So I thought about the pic of Hector being seen by his dad and Amanda and
suppose that he is pretending to be dead.

 

[Mako]

<- NEEDS LARGER BANNER

and Boodikka looks awesome! as does Stel.

 

[Danalys]

Yeah, like ring up a victory feast! :thumbs:

so many ways to celebrate.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

What the hell? There was more than a few people that were viewing this thread that acted as if the new banner was something that they already saw before (by not acknowledging it). What is up with that? That is pretty damn unreal and baffling imo.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Excellent banner! In may ways, that's the pic I've been waiting for! Bigger please!

and this is important..how?

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I hope that the Corps look as detailed as that in the movie.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

and this is important..how?

It's not actually important to me, I just find it weird, if this was an old pic then I would understand why posters would shrug it off and not say anything about it.

Would this help? by actually posting the image on the forum?

 

[S.A.A.D.]

It could work if they were feeling too lazy to click on the link.

So what's her name's chest has been covered up some more. The purple alien chick.

 

[Rex]

Looking forward to the big version of that banner.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Yeah they cost $9 million.

Wow, that new banner looks awesome. Hope we get a high-res version soon.
