Green Lantern is an upcoming 2011 superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The film will star Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, with Martin Campbell directing a script by Greg Berlanti and comic book writers Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, which was subsequently rewritten by Michael Goldenberg.[3] Green Lantern is scheduled to be released on June 17, 2011 in 3D.
Premise
The official synopsis from the production's May 2010 press release reads:[4]
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears 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.
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.
Cast
- A test pilot for the United States Air Force who becomes a Green Lantern and the first earthman ever inducted into the Green Lantern Corps.[5] Reynolds said, "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 Martin Campbell".[6] Reynolds called the film "an origin story to a certain degree, but it's not a labored origin story, where the movie begins in the third act. The movie starts when it starts. We find out Hal is the guy fairly early on, and the adventure begins".[7] Alternatively Chris Pine[8] and Sam Worthington[9] had been in discussions for the role. Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake were other top contenders,[10] while Brian Austin Green, a Green Lantern fan, campaigned for the part, but ultimately did not audition.[11]
- The vice president of Ferris Aircraft and a long-time love interest of Hal Jordan.[12] One pseudonymous writer citing unnamed sources said Lively was among five leading contenders that included Eva Green, Keri Russell, Diane Kruger and Jennifer Garner.[13] About her stunt work in which she rehearsed with stunt coordinator Gary Powell (Casino Royale, The Bourne Ultimatum, Quantum of Solace), gymnastic acrobats from Cirque du Soleil and used aerial stunt rigs created for The Matrix, Lively explained, "Our director likes it real—the fights close and dirty... I'm 40 feet in the air, spiraling around. That's the best workout you can ever do because it's all core... You do that for ten minutes and you should see your body the next day! It's so exhilarating, so thrilling—and nauseating".[14]
- Peter Sarsgaard as Dr. Hector Hammond:
- A scientist who discovers the fragments of a strange meteor that causes his brain to grow to enormous size, granting him psionic powers.[15] Regarding his preparation for the role, Sarsgaard stated, "I actually did hang with this biologist from Tulane that was I think just the most eccentric guy they could find. He was entertaining, and he and I actually worked on my lecture that I give in [Green Lantern], which I kept royally fucking up." About his character Sarsgaard remarked, "He's got shades of gray. It's eccentricity on top of eccentricity".[16]
- A Green Lantern and Hal Jordan's mentor.[17] Strong affirmed that the film will follow the origin story, "the film closely follows the early comics. Sinestro starts out as Hal Jordan’s mentor, slightly suspicious and not sure of him because obviously Hal is the first human being who’s made into a Green Lantern. He's certainly very strict and certainly unsure of the wisdom of Hal becoming a Green Lantern". Strong said the character "is a military guy but isn't immediately bad. It's the kind of person he is that lends himself to becoming bad over the course of the comics being written, but initially he’s quite a heroic figure.” He also revealed that the outfit and other aspects of the character very closely follow the character's early days, “That widow's peak and thin mustache was for some reason originally based on David Niven.... So I would like to do justice to the Sinestro that was conceived for the comic books”.[18]
- A former congressional aide and government agent.[19] About the differences between the comic book and film character Bassett said, "Well, I’m not 300 pounds," but added that her character does have "that intellectual, that bright, that no-nonsense, that means business [personality]. [She's] getting it done and in the trenches nothing fazes her".[20]
- Tim Robbins as U.S. senator Robert Hammond:
- The disapproving father of the movie's villain, Hector Hammond.[21]
- A Green Lantern who crash lands on Earth and recruits Hal Jordan as his replacement.[22] Morrison said it took four to five hours to put on the prosthetic makeup for the character. About filming with Ryan Reynolds, Morrison commented, "We did the whole scene together where I give him the ring, our suits are CGI so we had these grey suits with things on them so it was cool and working with Martin Campbell again was great too".[23]
- An Inuit engineer at Ferris Aircraft. Waititi said he was cast after a Warner Bros. casting agent saw his performance in Boy, which he also wrote and directed. Waititi – who has a Jewish mother and Maori father[24] – says the production "had an opening for a role in the film for someone who wasn't, I don't [know], not-white or not-black."[25]
- Geoffrey Rush as the voice of Tomar-Re:
- A bird-beaked member of the Green Lantern Corps who teaches Hal Jordan how to use his cosmic powers.[26] Rush stated he was not initially familiar with Green Lantern but was drawn to the part after seeing the concept art explaining, "When I got the offer for it I said, ‘Haven’t they made that film?’ They said, ‘No, it’s a completely computer-generated character.’ I saw the artwork and I said, I would love to be that guy. Because I had voiced an owl in Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole and I’d voiced a pelican in Finding Nemo and I thought I could really improve on that now by being half-bird, half-fish, part lizard. You don’t get to do that in a live-action film." Rush compared the role to previous roles where he played a mentoring figure, "You could say that I’ve mentored Queen Elizabeth I as [Sir Francis] Walsingham, and [Leon] Trotsky has mentored Frida Kahlo and now Tomar Re is going to mentor Hal Jordan, and I was sort of mentoring King George VI in The King's Speech. But I can’t imagine Tomar Re setting up an office on Harley Street in London. They’re all very different people to me, but there is a kind of theme I suppose".[27]
- Michael Clarke Duncan as the voice of Kilowog:
- A drill sergeant trainer of new recruits for the Green Lantern Corps.[28] About the character, Duncan, a fan of the comic book, stated, "He's a real type of tough guy who knows everything, and actually in one of the comic books he and Superman fought to a tie".[29]
Additionally, Jon Tenney plays Martin Jordan, Hal Jordan's father. Jay O. Sanders portrays Carl Ferris, an aircraft designer and father of Carol Ferris and Mike Doyle is cast as Jack Jordan, Hal Jordan's older brother.[30][31][4]
Production
Development
In early 1997, Warner Bros. approached cult filmmaker and comic book writer Kevin Smith, who had then just finished writing Superman Lives, to script a Green Lantern film. Smith turned down the offer, believing there were other suitable candidates to make a Green Lantern movie.[32] Warner Bros. eventually changed the direction of the film into that of a comedy; by 2004, Robert Smigel had completed a script which was set to star Jack Black in the lead role. However, the studio dropped the comedy idea due to poor fan reaction on the Internet.[33][34] In October 2007, Greg Berlanti signed to direct the film and co-write it with comic-book writers Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim.[35] A draft of the trio's 2008 script, leaked on the Internet, revealed a story that included the hero's origin and included the characters Carol Ferris, Kilowog, Sinestro, and Guy Gardner in a cameo appearance, and appeared "to set up Hector Hammond as Hal Jordan's ... first major nemesis...." [36] Shortly afterward, Guggenheim said that the script would contain characterizations inspired by the Denny O'Neil-Neal Adams run on the comic in the 1970s, and Dave Gibbons' work in the early 1980s. He added that he and his co-writers also looked to the 2000s Geoff Johns stories, saying, "It’s been interesting because we finished a draft just before [Johns'] 'Secret Origin' [story arc] started up. "So I’ve been reading 'Secret Origin' with a real interest in seeing 'OK, how did Geoff solve this problem?' There are certain elements just for anyone trying to retell Hal’s origin for a modern day audience has to address and grapple with. For example, why the hell was Abin [Sur] flying in a space ship when he's a Green Lantern? You don't ask that question back in the Silver Age, but when you're writing in the Modern Age, you have to answer these things."[37]
Pre-production
By December 2008, the writers had written three drafts of the screenplay and Warner Bros. was preparing for pre-production.[38] However, Berlanti was forced to vacate the director's position when Warner Bros. attached him to This Is Where I Leave You, and in February 2009, Martin Campbell entered negotiations to direct.[39] The release date was set as December 2010,[40] before being moved to June 17, 2011.[41]
Bradley Cooper,[42] Ryan Reynolds,[42] Justin Timberlake[42] and Jared Leto[5] were the producers' top choices for the starring role in July 2009. On July 10, Warner Bros. announced that Reynolds had been cast as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern.[5] A website reported on January 7, 2010, that a crew-member had written on her blog that the film was greenlit the day before and that filming would begin in 10 weeks.[43] Also in January, Blake Lively was cast as Carol Ferris,[12] Peter Sarsgaard was in negotiations to portray Hector Hammond,[15] and Mark Strong was in negotiations to play Sinestro.[17] In February, Tim Robbins joined the cast as Senator Hammond.[21] The following month, New Zealanders Temuera Morrison and Taika Waititi had joined the cast as Abin Sur and Tom Kalmaku, respectively.[22]
Filming
With a production budget of $200 million,[2] Green Lantern was initially scheduled to begin filming in November 2009 at Fox Studios Australia.[44] The start date was pushed back to January 2010,[45] but the production moved to Louisiana, where, on March 3, 2010 test footage was filmed in Madisonville involving stunt cars.[46] Principal photography began on March 15, 2010 in New Orleans.[47] Nine days after filming began, Angela Bassett joined the cast as Dr. Amanda Waller, a government agent who is a staple of the DC Comics series.[19]
In April filming took place at the University of New Orleans. The film crew and cast shot interior scenes during the day in the Science Building, over the course of the university's Spring Break recess.[48] Also in April Jon Tenney revealed that he will play Hal Jordan's father, test pilot Martin H. Jordan.[30] By June 2010 filming had begun at New Orleans Lakefront Airport.[49] In the same month it was reported that Mike Doyle has been cast for the role of Jack Jordan, the older brother of Hal Jordan.[31]
In July 2010 it was reported that Ryan Reynolds was injured while shooting scenes for the film, separating his shoulder and was in "lots of pain".[50]
Post-production
Geoff Johns confirms on his Twitter account the film ended principal photography on August 6, 2010 and entered post-production.[51] In an interview with MTV News, director Martin Campbell when asked about the film's effects-heavy epic scale commented; "It's daunting, just the process, (there are) something like 1,300 visual shots, it's mind-blowing, quite honestly".[52] When asked about the constructs created from the power rings Campbell stated; "One of the nice things is, we'll all sit down and say, 'Well, what are we going to do here?' Really, it's as much as your imagination can go to make the constructs".[53] The studio also confirmed to MTV News that the film will have a 3-D release.[54]
In January 2011 it was reported that Green Lantern had begun re-shoots for key scenes at Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles, California.[55]In March 2011 it was reported that Geoffrey Rush had joined the cast as the voice of the CGI-created character, Tomar-Re.[26]
In April 2011 it was reported that Michael Clarke Duncan entered negotiations to voice Kilowog.[28] Also in April it was reported that Warner Bros. raised the visual effects budget by $9 million and hired additional visual effects studios to bolster the ranks of the team that has been working overtime to meet the film's June 17 launch.[56]
Soundtrack
According to the film's official site, the soundtrack will be released in stores on June 14, 2011. The soundtrack was composed by James Newton Howard, who also worked on the other Warner Bros/DC Comics based films Batman Begins and The Dark Knight with Hans Zimmer. The soundtrack will be published by Watertower Music.[57]

Release
The world premiere of Green Lantern is scheduled to take place on June, 15, 2011 at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California.[58]
Marketing
The cost of promotion along with the production budget take the total costs to $300 million.[59]The first footage of the film was shown at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con.[60] The footage was widely released online in November 2010 with thirty seconds of footage airing the following day on Entertainment Tonight. [61] The first full theatrical trailer for the film was shown before screenings of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1[62] and became available online in November 2010.[63] This initial trailer was met with a poor reception from fans and, as a result, the film's marketing campaign was delayed. Sue Kroll, the studio's worldwide marketing president stated, "Part of the reason the response to the first trailer was lukewarm was that the big-scale sequences weren't ready to show, and we suffered for it. We can't afford to do that again."[64] In April Warner Bros. debuted nine minutes of footage at the 2011 WonderCon in San Francisco. The Hollywood Reporter reported that the footage wowed the audience. A four minute cut of the WonderCon footage was later released online.[65]
Animation
In March 2010 Comics Continuum reported that an animated Green Lantern film is in the works at Warner Bros. Animation and will be part of a direct-to-video project that will be timed for release of the live-action Green Lantern movie in the summer of 2011. The Green Lantern animated project will likely take a look at the origins of the Green Lantern Corps, including the first ring wielders.[66] In an interview with Bruce Timm, the producer revealed that a sequel to the Green Lantern animated movie had been discussed but cancelled, along with a sequel to the Wonder Woman animated film, because of the two pictures not achieving the immediate success that they had hoped for. However, Timm did hope the live action film would renew interest in a sequel.[67] The animated movie entitled Green Lantern: Emerald Knights was officially announced in June 2010 instead.[68]
Roller coaster
Six Flags has bought the rights to the name, and will debut two roller coasters named Green Lantern at Six Flags Great Adventure and Magic Mountain in 2011 to coincide with the film's release.[69][70]
Video game
Warner Bros. Interactive announced at San Diego Comic-Con on July 23, 2010 that a video game, titled Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters was in development and would be released along with the film for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii by Double Helix Games and Nintendo DS PSP and Nintendo 3DS by by Griptonite Games. [71]
Reception
Critical reaction
Karina Longworth of the Village Voice gave Green Lantern a negative review stating, "[Martin] Campbell's ADD style privileges spectacle over story -- so much so that the film never rewards the viewer for even trying to keep track of what is going on".[72] Justin Chang of Variety said, "Martin Campbell's visually lavish sci-fi adventure is a highly unstable alloy of the serious, the goofy and the downright derivative".[73]
Conversely Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter gave it a positive review stating, "[Green Lantern] Serves up all the requisite elements with enough self-deprecating humor to suggest it doesn't take itself too seriously".[74]
Accolades
The film won the award for "Most Anticipated Movie" at the 2010 Los Angeles Scream Awards. The award was presented to Ryan Reynolds by his co-star, Blake Lively.[75]
Sequel
Director Martin Campbell has confirmed the possibility of seeing a Green Lantern trilogy during interviews for Edge of Darkness.[76] In June 2010, Warner Brothers studios hired Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, all of whom worked on the Green Lantern screenplay, to write a treatment for the second installment.[77] In August 2010, Warner Brothers hired Michael Goldenberg to write the screenplay, based on the sequel treatment.[78]
