Green Lantern Movie News!
Yes, I am using this post as an excuse to once again post Ryan Reynolds abs.
But, there is also relevant Green Lantern movie news! MTVnews have recently revealed to us a couple of interesting facts about the upcoming (and long overdue) film.
First, Ryan Reynolds talks about the costumes and how he fell in love with the character.
REYNOLDS: I think, seeing the prototypes for the Green Lantern costumes was a huge moment. It was a moment when I was like, "This is happening, and it's happening in the right way." That's a pretty cool, definitive moment for me.MTV: Does your love of "Green Lantern" and Hal Jordan go back far?
REYNOLDS: I've known about "Green Lantern" my whole life, but I've never really followed it before. I fell in love with the character when I met with [director] Martin Campbell. When I sat down with him, I really got what it is that this guy is all about. When you have a guy like Martin Campbell, part of his charm is that he has ba--s of titanium, and the other part is that he's slightly crazy, and you have to be to take on something with the scope of "Green Lantern." He's less of the director and more of a general. He just really knows strategies, he knows the intricacies, and his attention to detail! It's infectious. I sat down with him, and I could not even believe what he was saying. When I went to the meeting, I was entirely cynical. I thought, "What the hell, I'll see what they have to say," and I left the room with a completely different perspective.
He also discussed the story of the film.
REYNOLDS: "It is [an origin story] to a certain degree, but it's not a labored origin story, where the movie [truly] begins in the third act," he explained. "The movie starts when it starts. We find out Hal is the guy fairly early on, and the adventure begins.""That to me is the tough thing to get right," he explained. "And that's something that they did get right [in 'Iron Man']. You see why this guy's in the suit, and that's what's interesting to me. Not that he is in the suit, but why."
And one last little tidbit, apparently the Green Lantern film was initially offered to Quentin Tarantino! He turned it down however. To be honest, I am glad. I love Tarantino, but I don't think he'd be right for a Green Lantern movie. (He should do an Iron Fist movie though).
