, and Mark Strong was awesome in both "Body of Lies" and "RocknRolla'

He was great in those films, especially RocknRolla. He made that movie, IMO.

 

[I Am The Knight]

That's what a couple of posters said. We'll see if it comes to fruition.

I hope so. I'm wearing my GL shirt t:

 

[Rowsdower!]

Anyone have an idea when the trailer will be online today?

Yeah. Yahoo said they'd have the trailer that's attached to Thor a week before Thor comes out.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Hmmm... have any of you guys seen this interview?

Did Ryan just drop a spoiler at the end? Hector and Parallax aren't the only things GL fights... could just mean that there are some elaborate training sequences where Hal as to do a lot of fighting (or he could have been talking about that parking lot fight in the trailer). But maybe we do see him slug it out with Sinestro? Hmm...

 

[Mako]

Yeah. Yahoo said they'd have the trailer that's attached to Thor a week before Thor comes out.

Awesome.

Ryan Reynolds Calls His 'Green Lantern' Character A 'Reimagining'
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1662878/ryan-reynolds-green-lantern.jhtml

Ryan Reynolds knows his "Green Lantern" lore. He has committed Hal Jordan's signature oath to memory and can speak knowledgably about lesser-known characters like Bzzd. And as a devoted fan of the DC Comics series, he understands the pressure that comes along with a big-screen adaptation.

The weight of fan expectation was all the greater after the initial "Green Lantern" trailer was not exactly warmly embraced. But following the debut of fresh footage at CinemaCon last month, opinion has shifted. "I feel better," Reynolds admitted to MTV News, which is debuting a very cool character banner as part of our Summer Movie Preview week.

In a later interview, he expanded on those comments about the burden of bringing "Green Lantern" to the multiplex on June 17. "This one is particularly challenging because you want to get it right for so many people coming in with a built-in expectation," he explained. "It's one thing to do it for a film when you're inventing a character that nobody's heard of. That's great. It's another when you're reimagining a character that people have known for decades. So that's not an insignificant challenge.

"You want to come in there and bring them something that is truly memorable and is exactly what they want blended with exactly what I want, because I am the guy that's got to do it," he added. "It's exciting. There are challenges."

Yet Reynolds maintains that the film's story will be one that appeals not just to the fanboys but also to a broader audience: His Hal Jordan is an egocentric test pilot who transforms, thanks to a Green Lantern power ring, to a universe-protecting superhero. As Reynolds put it, "This is a guy that goes from a reckless, walking mishap to a guy with a higher calling, and he really rises to that occasion and experiences real humility and purpose for the first time in his life. That's a story I think a lot of people will gravitate toward."

 

[Rowsdower!]

Still nothing?

Anyone else beginning to worry that we're not getting sh** today?

The day is hardly even halfway over.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I know... I'm just used to being disappointed by this kind of stuff.

 

[RoughNTumble]

You'd think they would have released it by now.

 

[The Sage]

Maybe Yahoo! Movies hasn't received it yet. Or maybe they were wrong...

 

[HighFivingMF]

If I remember right they didn't put up the last trailer until about 8 or 9 Eastern time. It's only going on 6:30. No need to get worried, guys. For all we know they could be on West Coast time, which means they still have like 8 and a half hours.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I. Must. See. More. New. Footage.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Its just one poster who claimed there's gonna be a trailer. He could be a DC ninja, but he could be a troll.

 

[protocida]

^ There's the Film Rating Board as well.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

^Indeed.

 

[KalMart]

You'd think they would have released it by now.

Maybe it would've cost WB an extra $9,000,001.00 for extra last-minute effects work AND a new trailer....but all they could afford was the effects.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

So Kurac, what's the deal?

 

[Octoberist]

think the week before became 'a few days before the release' under our noses

 

[HighFivingMF]

 

[Mako]

That looks awesome.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

Omg, this is a truly epic movie poster. I hope that my work get's this poster. Their poses are what make's it epic imo.
