The Green Lantern movie thread

[ddm92392]

what about Kane as Killowog he's got the muscle and that whole forehead thing

 

[Artistsean]

I don't know how good of an actor Kane is.
I mean his size is perfect I think, but you still want someone who is a great actor for the part too.

Maybe his body and CG on another actors face and have them do the dialogue and acting like Gimly in Lord of the Rings.

 

[ddm92392]

yea maybe they could CG Arnolds head on Kane's body

 

[Eddie Dean]

Ving Rhames for Kilowog.

 

[kytrigger]

Since Kilowog would mostly be cg IMO I don't think the actor playing him needs to look a damn thing like him, just get somebody who can actually act instead of just a big guy.

 

[Concerned Mom]

I would like very much to see a Hal Jordan Green Lantern movie. It would make my son very happy.


I need to make a thread, but I can't?

 

[GL1]

Are you guys seriously considering someone other than Dennis Haybert and his kickass voice for the man-mountain Kilowog?

I think a Thing/Hellboy style suit with minimal CGI add-ins would be most effective...

 

[The_Mystery]

BIG SHOW AS KILOWOG!!!! lol

 

[ddm92392]

I actually forgot all about the hellboy movie for this I think a Hellboy type suit would be perfect for whoever plays Killowog now who plays him thats the mystery

But they shouldn't be going based off popularity, since no Green Lantern is really "popular". Hal Jordan is largley unheard of, and John Stewart is slightly less unheard of.

I mean, it would be one thing if Hal Jordan was the most obscure character in comics and John Stewart was a household name, but the two hold a very minor difference in popularity. And with Jordan being the main GL used in all of DC's upcoming animated films (New Frontier and Green Lantern/Green Arrow in particular), the gap will close even more.

I've argued this a thousand times, and I dont want to really get into it again, so all i'll say is that Hal should be the main character because it's the logical starting point. His origin suits the introduction of the GL concept better, and since he comes before the others, this allows sequels to cover nearly all of them.

Just think about it for a second. If you start with Hal, you can always do a movie with John or Kyle next, but if you start with John or Kyle, the opportunity for a Hal Jordan movie is pretty much gone (unless you wanna do a prequel which just seems like a dumb idea).

As for casting, Nathan Fillion would be the ideal Green Lantern.

Can anyone honestly disagree?

Hal Jordan.

sorry just cant do it

If they had the funds to do this, this is how I would make Killowog:
Use a big guy body double and then CG an actors face onto the body (like Gimly on LOTR). And on both the body double and the actor's face use prosthetics and make up.
Maybe even use anamatronics like Hellboy for body parts like hands and facial features.
Also, in need be, use camera effects to make Killowog seem that much bigger than other characters (like the bad guy in 300, or Gandolf in LOTR).
Then use a CG Killowog for major fight scenes and stuff normal actors just can't do.

But I would stay away as much as possible from a total CG character.

Its not unlikely since LOTR did most of these tricks for every movie.
Plus if you CG on the actors face, with prosthetics of coarse, you could use any actor you want (who fits the role) even someone like Anthony Hopkins or maybe a great cartoon voice actor.

 

[ddm92392]

yea most of the time total CG just makes things seem fake after years you want a movie that will always last

It's been annoucned the movie is set for release for 2010. This is excellent news.

That's really great there. They're also really prepared for the GL movie, such as they have a director, writers, co-writers, and Hal Jordan is going to be on the big screen. YES!!!

 

[Buttruffage]

Great news if it's true. If it's not, I'm not worried. They'll get around to him sooner or later. He pretty much OWNED New Frontier, and got the respect his character so justly deserved. And I'm sure DC Animation will soon do a Green Lantern stand alone film featuring the Corps, which will have him back. None of it will take the place of a full on feature film, but it's much better than not having him at all.

I hope that it has the corps shown. Who's the one with a fin? I think his name starts with S. Killowog would be a huge guy in a suit or cgi.

Are you thinking like Chiklis as the thing type suit? Cause I think Killowag can be pulled off with face prosthetics, more like Hellboy(and less constricting)

 

[Ghostrider87]

Yes a physical suit. I have to say Killowog seems like he could be made by the same people that did the creatures in Star Wars.

i think thats kinda overkill.

I recently watched Justice Leage the new frontier, and I think that David Boreanaz who voiced him in that movie could play a good Hal Jordan in a movie.
