The Official Peter Sarsgaard & Hector Hammond Thread

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea. He could make you head explode just by thinking it.

He is also able to resist the green light of will.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

He can absorb and manipulate GLs green light too.

 

[protocida]

I don't think he can...

 

[protocida]

As far as I know, he can...

. Read other people's minds.
. Move objects with his mind.
. Acess other people's memories.
. Control people like puppets.
. Create images in other people's minds with his.
. Use telephatic blasts that can shut down other people's minds and even blow up their heads.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

He can. He did it in Secret Origin and it says in the wiki

I read the script some time ago, and I'm quite excited to see Hammond's character. I love Peter, he is great for this role, but I do wonder how they will make him look on film. He is the one I'm more interested in seeing visually on film since he is an "odd" looking villain.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea it should be interesting to see how the handle this character, his powers and if they will be doing the whole big head/forehead thing at all.

 

[Dark Knight]

I think they shouldn't make his head look way huge like they did in the comics.

They should just make his head look slightly big and deformed with with some scars and such.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea they will probably do something like that, since campbell has been saying he doesnt want to have really cheesy looking stuff in the film.

Sarsgaard walked the red carpet next and we wanted to see if he would talk more about playing villain Dr. Hector Hammond in the Martin Campbell-directed Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Hammond is a pathologist who becomes infused with psychic powers when he discovers a meteor.

He confirmed again that shooting will start in March, but when asked if the character will look similar to how he does in the comics, Sarsgaard pretended to zip his mouth shut and smiled, saying, "I don't know," adding that the movie is "going to be fantastic."

We also asked him if he was looking forward to working again with Tim Robbins, who plays Senator Hammond, the disapproving father of Hector.

"He gave me my first job - 'Dead Man Walking,'" Sarsgaard said. "I think he looks at me like I'm this young guy that was in this movie. I think you're always that to someone. I look at him like he was the guy that gave me my first job and I have immense respect for him. He does not feel like an equal to me. He feels like a God. He's a lot taller than I am."

Hammond looks like Sinestro with a bigger head?

ha ha

 

[Webhead2006]

that was nice little tidbits he gave. Cant wait to filming starts up.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Him saying that makes me more eager to see how they play out that relationship. Hopefully two actors like them and the right script revisions can make it work.

 

[Webhead2006]

totally jones hopefully the hammonds had good changes to them with all the rewrites.

I have a feeling that there will be some CGI done on his character when he gets to his final state. That's why he is safely saying that he doesn't know (because they haven't created him yet).

since Sony Imageworks did the visual effects for Alice in Wonderland, I can't help it but to think that perhaps their effect to create the huge head for the Red Queen is gonna be similar to Hector's. Though less comical, I suppose.

 

[dnno1]

This whole hector hammond thing reminds me of a classic episode of "The Outer Limits" TV series back in the 1960's called "The Sixth Finger". David McCallum (of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." fame) played a coal miner who was progressively evolved into a man of 20,000 years into his future. He grew a sixth finger (as to why the episode was titled as such) and had an I.Q. that was too high to measure. Maybe this kind of effect will be similar for Hammond in the movie.

 

[Webhead2006]

should be interesting to see what they go with. since campbell said he doesnt want to get to cheesy.

i can not belive that there is a human on this planet that would think that.

dude............

 

[fq2000]

I was thinking of something different, like an alien under his head trying to get out, moving all around his forehead make him look very deformed with veins pump in all around. They should go with a deformity that makes him look disgusting. I also had imagine a scene where he breaks a mirror in half right in his face.

 

[dnno1]

Green Lantern is a superhero movie not a monster flick. If they want to do that, they should have budgeted it lower.
