    Looks like Halo 2 to me due to color palette etc.

    Really excited for this film. Unlike most, I dig the casting of Reynolds. They also seem to be sticking very close to the source, which is the best way to handle these types of films. My only concern is the total CGI suit. We haven't seen it in action yet, so i'll hold off judgment until then.

    Should have a teaser in the next few weeks. They're saying it will be attached to Harry Potter 796, or whatever number they're up to now....

    Honestly it could be better than star wars if done right. probably as a tv series. I mean it has the focus cast of the couple of human lanterns in a galaxy spanning police force of alines form uncountable worlds. which i would take over hot and tattooine copy pasta any day.

    as some of you already know, i am a huge fan of the green lantern, have been since i was a kid. i have been hoping for years that an extravagant film version would be made, so i will be checking this out for sure. i usually don't get up for superhero movies, matter of fact i haven't even seen most of the ones released recently, but this one most assuredly has my interest.

    That's in the works, as well. A cartoon being ushered along by the same people behind the incredible Batman:TAS.

    I heard they are going to make some changes in it, which should make SOME HPotD's happy...

    The CGI suit is like an itch I can't get rid of. (You know, one of those deep-seated ones in your nether regions that you can't scratch because you're out in public with a cute girl?) I'm trying not to let it dissuade me, because CGI can be a wonderful tool, but...

    I like the casting of Reynolds. The guy has grown quite a bit as an actor in recent years. Sure he filled roles in every B-comedy thast was produced at the start of his career, but a guy has to get a foot in the door somehow. His recent roles seem to be more selective, and he doesn't do bad work, IMHO.

    I'm a bit more interested to see this one. DC has religiously clung to Batman and Superman when it comes to the silver screen. The Lantern stuff is a bit more in-depth (character-wise). Its about time DC offered something substantial to the plate.

    *fingers crossed*

    Same here. That EW cover picture didn't impress me that much. And it looks like they may have changed the suit quite a bit(where are the gloves?!?), but i've convinced myself to wait for footage before getting too worked up over it.

    Should have that new footage in about a week...

    I like him a lot. Knew back when he started on "Two Guys, A Girl, And A Pizza Place" that he was going to be big. But I get the same itch YOU'RE getting from the suit from HIM. I'm sure he'll be fine, good even, but I dunno. Weird.
