Are you excited? Just two weeks are separating us from the world premiere of this year's greenest blockbuster GREEN LANTERN
which hits cinemas on June 17th! Directed by Martin Campbell (THE LEGEND OF ZORRO, CASINO ROYALE) the lavish film with the most advanced CGI, features dashing Ryan Reynolds as the Green Lantern, stunning Blake Lively as his love interest Carol Ferris, Mark Strong as Sinestro, Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond, Tim Robbins, Angela Basset ... and the voices of Geoffrey Rush and Michael Clarke Duncan.
GREEN TIDBITS
It is estimated that the budget for the shooting of GREEN LANTERN was around $150 million! For Geoffrey Rush, who is lending his voice to a birdlike alien Tomar Re, this is actually a third time of giving voice to birds (he did it in FINDING NEMO as a Pelican, and in LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS as a Ga'Hoole owl)! Blake Lively's Carol Ferris could turn into the Star Sapphire super villain and a queen of female warriors in a possible sequel. Ryan Reynolds doesn't wear a real costume but a CG one made thanks to a motion capture suit. Ryan's rivals who had competed for the lead role include: Sam Worthington, Justin Timberlake, Bradley Cooper and Chris Pine.
The story is set in a universe as vast as it is mysterious, where a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of
peace and justice, they are called the GREEN LANTERNCorps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each GREEN LANTERNwears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the GREEN LANTERNs have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the
ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol
Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest GREEN LANTERN of all.
