JONAH HEX and GREEN LANTERN place their names on dates in 2010!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... Wow. You know. I really really hope that WATCHMEN does tremendous business. I really do. The reason is that I just can not fathom a return to shit Comic Book movie adaptations of years past. The success of films like IRON MAN and DARK KNIGHT are clear indicators that adapting the material with love and affection and intellect and vision... that it's the way to go. That's what I saw on screen for WATCHMEN and I hope it becomes a phenomenon. Cuz Warners intends to continue mining comic gold. We'll get JONAH HEX on August 6th 2010. Then in the Holiday season, the Emerald Knight will be charging his ring and projecting on screens on December 17th in GREEN LANTERN.
God that'd be cool. I want GREEN LANTERN to be something that we've yet to still see. It needs to be ambitious as hell, on a truly stunning scale. And it needs to be smart. Can't believe this stuff is coming about. JONAH HEX. Just crazy man!

Shia Labouf to play the alien who gives the ring to Hal Jordan.
by mike_d
and says "no no no no nonononono"
-
on the script and finding convincing actors who take the material seriously, because the aesthetics of GL are a cakewalk, the costume and the effects, now.
-
Which Green Lantern story should I start with? Thankful for advice!
-
Jonah who?

Shia Labouf to play Hal Jordan, who recieves the ring from himse
by mike_d
THIS JUST IN!
-
Or was he rumored for PREACHER?
-
I'll keep you guys updated!
-
my source is WRONG
-
Sam Mendes is on Preacher... I want to say the director of Kung Fu Panda is doing Jonah Hex but I might be wrong.
-
depending on scheduling.
-
Never stops being funny.
-
Jonah Hexx needs to be the next level of hell preceded by High Plains Drifter. Only you can see the demons in their true form.
-
I mean I am interested, the geeks are interested. But is 90% of the moviegoers interested in this? To put these characters already on the big screen in 2010 next to all the a-listed comic movies could be the beginning of the end of comic movies. I don't think they going to make money with this.
-
The old one with the *magic* ring, Hal, the black one, the crazy one, or the gay one?
-
Even non-comic book readers remember the Superfriends from their youth (and the DC stickers given away in crappy Wonderbread). GL will do well.
-
That's what experts were saying about IRON MAN and why it would fail. You know what the 2nd in line heroes are? NEW to the masses. Characters they perhaps HAVEN'T seen before.
-
Just what the world needs. What a bore.
-
If they make a suitably epic looking action/sci-fi film out of GL, people will watch it.
Most films aren't based on preexisting characters you know.
Unless this competes head to head against Iron Man 2 theres no ways its going to bomb...
-
GL can certainly turn out cool, but it's also a concept that can easily come across cheesy. WB really has to put a good creative team foward and a 100 million budget at least(if that's even a lot anymore because we are dealing with a really fx heavy concept foe a film. I don't know. WB did good with the Batman films and I think they should put forth the sane quality for a GL film.
-
David Fincher and Ryan Gosling
-
some hollywood halfwit can want to smear his DNA all over a long established character and next thing you know there are nipples on everything
-
its time to make the hero instersting for christ sake i love hal jordan, but he is just another boring white guy from the 60s
-
those writers are hacks.
-
someone hasn't read Geoff Johns' run.
-
Remember a couple years ago when Jack Black was attached and it was going to be a comedy?
I hope Jonah Hex turns out well. If I can't be the one making it, I'd rather have a good one out there than a shitty one making me think, "Gah! If only I'd been able to make it!" -
Jonah Hex might get the right treatment, Raimi in Quick and the Dead guise might bring it home, but a Green Lantern film? Giant Green fists pummelling bad guys? I don't think people are gonna be able to suspend their disbelief.
-
and a crappy premise and 2nd tier villian.
-
Even if they might not have recognised him, people knew who Iron Man was. Jonah Hex is going to be the bastard lovechild of Ghost Rider & Constantine. I imagine studios will have second thoughts after Watchmen bombs anyway.
Yeah. I said it. -
He will rap with Gnort.
-
Will Smith? No way. Hancock has prevented that.
Terrence Howard I could see doing it. Maybe even Noel Clarke of Doctor Who fame if they want a relative unkown. God knows they'll need to shave the salary to cover the effects bill. -
A calculus exam in a strip club. Seriously kids, it's time to grow up.
-
When Avatar will be fucking our eyeballs.... on Blu ray... huh? what? Oh ya Green Latern can be a cool, fun flick. And I still wanna see that Miller JLA. I hope that happens.
-
Negotiations aren't going well.
-
Yep, it works.
-
Never considered Iron Man a second in line comic. Maybe in the US GL is well known but overseas there is no big fan base. But maybe i am wrong again......
-
Go with an origin story for Hal & he fits the bill. He should be given a chance at a big lead role..........I'd love to see Weta's take on Oa, the Guardians & Legion!
-
I had my final calculus exam in a strip club. Every time I pressed the "sin" button, one of the girls spread her legs. Spooky.
ba-dum-dum! -
And this is coming from someone with a possibly unhealthy obsession with Jensen Ackles.
I just can't help but picture GL as Mal Reynolds with a power ring. -
no Fillion.
-
Christian Bale's only a few years younger and makes for a fine Batman.
Besides, I think you just something against DILF's. -
GL Movie should not start with his orgin. That's two played out and conventional. The movie should begin with GL returning to his asteroid home, after a mission for the GL corps. It should be set during the period when Hal Jordan was exiled from earth by the Guardians. He was unhappy, rebellious against the Corps and struggling to come up with a reason to remain a GL. The story should end with Jordan solving the moving crisis, realizing the importance of GL service . . . and then promptly resigning his GL commission to return to earth with Carol Ferris. This will set up a sequel to introduce John Stewart and a conflict when Jordan wishes to return to the Corps. Hollywood should be this smart.

by champvinyl
Should be in the running for hal jordan and i've only read a handful of GL comics...
That being said even i know whomever is playing the role needs to have the right build, the acting ability to accept the fantastical elements of the DC universe yet still be noble enough to do their lines properly and with gravity..., and they have to beleivable when kicking ass, even if half the action is the ring.
in short please don't hire ryan gosling, pick someone slightly older and make them look younger, shit joan rivers is like 130 and she's still able to fix her face; do your magic hollywood!
Just like the captain america movie, the actor needs some sort of on-screen weight. -

bacci40: So which do you prefer? A 'boring white guy from the 60's' or a typical blaxploitation black guy from the 70's? You take your pick, but for my $10 I'll choose a fucking Combat Veteran/Ace Test Pilot who gets more ass than a toilet seat to bear my power ring. Fuck all that PC shit that DC is trying to pull. Hal Jordan is the Green Lantern.metaluna: "Oh Goody" another loser attempting to prove that he is better than everyone else by choosing to debase the industry that he loves so much. Dude, you are on fucking Ain't It Cool News, writing on a talk back. Another Comic Book Movie? Yes, and that's why you are reading this.NEUR0M4NCER: Watchmen Bombs? You.Are.An Idiot. There. I said it. Guess what you knucklehead? I just tried to buy tickets to the midnight showing next week. Sold out. All four prints. Keep dreaming you fucking hater. Watchmen is huge.Varakor:Avatar...oh, my sweet, every loving Avatar...or "Project 880" or whatever the fuck you are calling it these days. Is it going to rock? Probably. But its almost a year away. Just calm down and try to think about all of the other great things that may be on the way. Or find a fucking 'Avatar' talkback to nut all over.oh, and Spifftacular Squirrel Girl, I love Fillion as Jordan. Great call...
-
cant keep up! too many different GL's :(
-
http://tinyurl.com/deukc3 - you know it makes sense bitches. not fillion, he's too old. eckles too young ( would make a great guy gardner though)not borenaz again too old. Not a black GL. a Hal jordan GL. there can only be one!
-
doesnt really matter, the one in the movie is hal jordan.
-
...although I suppose he could play Pieface. Oh, and the best to play Jordan? Ashton Kootchie. Wait...on second thought I'd rather have Jack Black.
-
Fillion wouldn't be a bad choice, but would like someone that carries a little more weight on screen. Gerard Butler would be an interesting choice (not sure about his american accent).
-
He can't carry the role on the big screen. Love him on BSG, but I think he's a TV guy.
-
He should be Wally West.
-
No movies for him.
-
Has the right gravitas.
And if there was ever an actor who deserved to helm a superhero flick... -
Ackles would make a fine Guy Gardner. Haircut would be a bitch, but that is why wigs exist.
-
Yep.
-
I think he could pull off Gardner, but I think casting him as Wally West would be akin to casting Ron Perlman as Hellboy or Patrick Stewart as Professor X.
I think Garret Dillahunt (http://tinyurl.com/d3cxn9) would make a swell Gardner, that's who'd I go with. -
Guy Pierce comes to mind as well. And I wish it was in the hands of James Cameron, Ridley Scott,or The Coen Brothers.
-
Jon Hamm is perfect for Green Lantern. Plus, he brings John Ham to the role (delicious)!
-
John C. Mcginley circa 1997.
-
If you wnat to get into GL start with the TPB Green Lantern: Rebirth. Then roll into the Sinestro Corps War. If you want to go Old School to really get grounded, read Emerald Dawn from back in the 80's followed by Ganthet's Tale.
-
the chatter that regarded Iron Man as some second tier character in the Marvel pantheon.
A Green Lantern movie makes sense but I have to admit to (not being a close reader of the character) being baffled by all apparent the ring wearers in recent years? -
ALthough they would both need to do a bit of training to bulk up beforehand, Pierce moreso.
-
...we're do for something like this. But, with new technology, starting with 3d, IMAX. Imagine the aliens in Green Lantern done using the 3d effects of Coraline. And then..into full immersion AI-controlled entertainment.
-
Dennis Haysbert as John Stewart. Lauren Graham as Carol Ferris.
-
Those are all just god awful choices for hal and I refuse to believe you've ever seen or read the comic
-
go big or go home. Start with bay city being destroyed. Flash back to origin. End with epic battle. Easy enough. Throw in a few chars for cameos. Just make it as crazy and rediculous as it deserves to be.
-
Hal Jordan shouldn't be too old. He's a pretty young guy. I'm totally down for gossling or even Ryan Reynolds. Someone still young who can do serious or average joe and still be badass action hero
-
As long as the script is good, Smith could help fill up the seats, and thrust the Green Lantern Corps legacy into the consciousness of the general public, so that future Green Lanterns could take his place.
-
Worrying about the movie we really need to be perfect. This tremendous force we know as captain America. That movie needs to be the best comic book movie because he is the staple of marvel universe. If cap is bad then everything else will live in that shadow. It has to be striclty old school Gritty WWII ending with cap getting frozen and it's gotta be done rght... That means bucky has to make an appearence too. It has to be 100% serious and has to be an over the top picture of how cap feel about America. Should be borderline R rating so they can really show how crazy ted skull Is. Didn't the shield Give you goose bumps in iron man? That's because you know it has to be a serious movie.

Wasn't there a news story about WB courting Gosling...
by orbots commander
...to play Hal Jordan? I figured he was a lock, as per the studio, to play the lead in a GL flick.
-
That was announced some time ago.
-
"You know the difference between you and me? I make this ring look good!"
-
OH MY GOD!!! I SWEAR IT'S TRUE...
-
He will purchase your local bar and tell bad jokes all day...
-
... and Shia Labouf as 1/2 of Jonah Hex's face.
I like the idea of a blaxploitation Green Lantern... Talkin' 'bout Lantern Shaft. Can you dig it?
-
Wait, whaddya mean he's...oh.
-
All of a sudden this movie came out of nowhere. I'm geeked for sure, but just wondering who all's involved, especially with such a close release date...furthermore, anyone know where I can get myself a power ring? That'd be sweet.
-
Not the best casting suggestion i've heard all day...love the guy, but think he's more suited to the dashing rogue type...which I always kinda got the 'reluctant hero' vibe from Hal Jordan. I know someone said he'd be a good Wally West, but I don't even know about that. I think you need some goofy bastard for that--the talk of Ryan Reynolds years ago sounded pretty spot-on. Anyway, I'll second that Ryan Gosling decision...mostly because he's an actor that'll bring a little 'weight,' as it were, to this project.
-
If not as GL, he might make a pretty good Lone Ranger. Isn't Disney whipping that flick up, too? I got sucked into The Mentalist when my wife TIVO'd it. He's pretty good.
-
check it out on youtube if you dont believe...
-
If you're gonna go with a guy like B.A.G. (yessss) he looks more like Kyle Raynor anyway...and if you guys are high, share the wealth man. I'm broke as hell!
-
And the rest should fall into line. Also, I still think Ryan Gosling would be good as Hal. Wasn't that the rumored casting? I think he could do it.
-
He was a fighter test pilot, one of those guys with "The Right Stuff." Sure, he walked away from the Corp. at times, but Ackles' Lee Adama did the same thing on BSG. Ackles is an excellent choice, his personality fits very well with Jordan's- plus he's an ACTOR- he can make adjustments to this project.
-
...charging up the imitation GL ring on the imitation lantern, complete with Photoshopped green glow?
-
i know sometimes he makes tos pissed off muppet faces when he gets upset but I think Peter Krause would be a great Hal. Of course, he's a TV actor and over 40 so they'll probably get Ryan Gosling or somebody instead.
-
He was born for it, just like Tex Cobb was born for Lobo.
-
tis going to bring the suckage.
-
if you ain't on board, your a racist
-
Like, we are referring to Jensen Ackles (aka Dean Winchester) right? I didn't know he was on BSG. I guess i'll have to finally bothering that show. Dean Winchester is the new Han Solo...but with demons. I appreciate you writing me back with a bit more info on Hal Jordan too!

IN brightest day, in darkest night, TALKBACKers continue to post with delight. One TALKBACKer said, "Harry isn't a pretty sight!" Yet how did he notice that Harry's pants were so tight?
-
Shia isn't at my door with a lantern and a decoder ring.
-
Jonah Hex. The casting is looking good. Hope they keep it as a western and not sling any sci-fi into it.
-
Anybody know why they put it in December?
-
They've tentatively scheduled Green Lantern for a December release to see what they're up against. If the competition is too big don't be surprised when the film gets pushed to, I dunno, March.
That seems like a traditional dumping ground for comic based movies that studios aren't too sure about... -
This is one of the stupidest things the studios do, and that's saying something.
-
ADAM BALDWIN FOR JONAH HEX! DENNIS QUAID for GREEN LANTERN!
-
Any idea on who is penning these things? Please not those guys from Superman Returns!!!
www.youtube.com/wearemaladjusted
Are YOU Maladjusted? -
Actually Jon Hamm is by far the best suggestion.
-
So many things to comment on, being a big GL fan. The GL script is good, at least the 1st draft and I doubt the quality has changed towards the negative since the original writers did the re-writes. The GL in the script is Hal Jordan. Alan Scott did have a role originally at least, but can't say that wasn't written out in the rewrite. And there wasn't a gay GL. I can only guess that poster confused Kyle with his assistant, who was gay.
Bale is early 30s and that is the ideal age for Batman, plus he spends most of his time in a suit, so age isn't as important. Hal in the script is around 28ish, so you need someone who looks that age or maybe a bit younger if you really want to start a franchise. Fillion is too old, as is David Boreanaz. -
And supposedly the logic for a December release was 1) tons of comic movies that summer and 2) no scheduled competition as of now in December, or at least around that time
-
I love that this is basically saying, "In order for this movie to be done well, it needs to be done well."
It's said all the time here. Kinda love it. Kinda hate it.
I'm another one that knows nothing about Green Lantern. Any series jumping off point for someone green about Green Lantern? -
You can pretty much start with the DC SHOWCASE PRESENTS: GREEN LANTERN (vol.1) which is cheap and the early silver age adventures. Then read the Neal Adams/Dennis O'Neil GREEN ARROW/LANTERN stories. I really love ALAN MOORE's TALES OF THE GREEN LANTERNS, which are all collected in the DC STORIES OF ALAN MOORE trade paperback - you need to be up on these at least to really get the new run of GREEN LANTERN by Geoff Johns - GREEN LANTERN:NO FEAR, WANTED:HAL JORDAN, REVENGE OF THE GREEN LANTERNS, THE SINESTRO CORPS WARS Vol. 1 & 2 and last SECRET ORIGINS - this run is fantastic, and will pretty much get you up to speed on everything inbetween of worth. Johns takes even the goofiest stuff from the early Silver Age adventures and puts it into a great sci-fi adventure context that works - like STAR SAPPHIRE. Read these, love em.
-
goatee definately looks the part for Jonah Hex, and his roles in No Country, W, and Milk have shown his great acting range.

Wait till the Source (ie some dude standing in line at La Salsa)
by ejkousc
-
AICN will post not an apology per se, but more a reprimanding of the Dude standing in line at La Salsa. Saying dudes shouldnt talk about stuff.
-
in any movie whatsoever, even if its Ernest Goes to Jail Again...
please smack yourself. -
I hope whoever makes the movie is more imaginative than the people who make the cartoons. Whenever GL shows up in the animated shows, he's always doing stupid stuff with his ring. The comic book writers seem to generally make more effort to be imaginative.
-
anyword yet on which Green Lantern they are going to be using for this film?
-
That actually would be considered forward thinking by quite a lot of suits.
A reporter covering the ShowEast convention earlier this year swore on a stack of bibles he overheard the following exchange:
Studio Exec 1: Iron Man had a really good story line. I think there may be a segment of the audience that appreciates that.
Studio Exec 2: Maybe...
http://tinyurl.com/cxj2ut
-
I know it's not the thing that is essential in a good film. What I mean Is a lot of it should take place in space not Earth. I just feel this is a movie that should have lots of different aliens showing the corp as Jedi like. Hal should meet a lot of the most important of these guys. Sinestro was after all a lantern once praised for having the cleanest sector and doing it by being a fascist. They really didn't do much with that guy in the animated series shows or touch on his origin. Kind of sad.
-
a HUGE fucking forehead!
-
yeah, that's right, make joey hal jordan. If you really think about it, you could make a solid argument that matt leblanc was the best actor on FRIENDS. Just because he played an uneducated, womanizing idiot (but a different kind of idiot) doesn't mean the guy can't act. I watch that show and i see jennifer aniston, courtny cox, david schwimmer, matt perry, but i don't see matt leblanc--i see joey. He's a solid actor to say the least, but i truly believe he would jump at the opportunity to do green lantern and he'd be a damn good hal jordan.
-
in order for green lantern to be a sucess, they will have to make all the aliens humanoid. I love the comics, but there are some really dumb and weird looking aliens that would look stupid on the big screen. Little blue gaurdians would be fine, and humanoids with different skin colors would be fine, but no weird alien looking aliens please. I gauruntee it will turn off the average movie goer. Its what turned me away from farscape... i really tried watching it, but i couldn't get through the first season, because the stupid looking aliens just turned me away.
-
but I would be sad if Kilowog isn't in it or having a role in training Hal.
-
My son and I were just talking about doing a GL film. First, who to choose? Hal Jordan or Kyle Rayner are the best choices (though I did think Common as John Stewart was cool). Now Hal IS GL, but Kyle is the artist and far more inventive in how he uses his ring. Guy Gardner? No way, he is just comic relief and the only way he would get chosen would be if he was only up against Gnort.
Now if you go with Hal, you need to focus on the Space Cop, GL Corps. aspect. Probably the best story line would be to use Abin Sur's son as a criminal kinpin and Sinestro as a dirty Green Lantern. Forget the "yellow flaw", unless you are going to wipe the GL Corps in the sequel to bring in Kyle. Sinestro is the best villian to use for opening GL film as he best defines how wrong Jordan could go. Especially as Sinestro was his mentor.
Having Sinestro (and others who follow his fascist style) go off and find yellow rings and begin the Sinestro War would be a place to leave off for a sequel.
If you bring in Kyle, then you bring him in to rebuild a lost Corps and fight the Manhunters.
Casting? Hal Jordan is an experienced pilot and reckless. Fillon is the right age, possibly Brendan Fraser (for looks, but he can act, if rarely), Sean Patrick Leonard might also do well. Maybe Dennis Quaid
For Kyle, I would like Joseph Gordon Levitt.
John Stewart, Common, Dennis Haysbert are both good choices, someone with gravitas.
Guy Gardner? For some reason I think of Ben Stiller, Seann William Scott, or even Tim Robbins. Someone who could play a person totally impervious to rational thought.
I think a short at the beginning with Gnort (played by Jack Black) might be good. -
Not really a big fan of Green Lantern. For some reason, it just does not click with me. I'd like to see a movie for THE FLASH done right. I'm surprised they haven't tried it yet. It's not like it would require lots of big budget effects. Adapt Geoff Johns' run on it and it practically writes itself.
-
Yeah because that really turned off people from this movie called Star Wars. Aintitcool has a new "biggest fucking idiot". Congratulations.
-
...these are the reasons these movies should not by casted by hard core fans. And I AM a hard core fan.Those are as laughable as the suggestions I've seen on here for The Rock to play Superman and Powers Boothe as Batman.Get some perspective.
-
(has pwn gone the way of wazzaaap???) I am in favor of the yellow weakness because then they can turn hal into parallax (which would be an AWESOME ending to the first--the average viewer will not see it coming and no superhero movie has a better hero turned villain. Then you can bring in kyle for the second movie (possibly introducing him in the first movie) and have hal the villain, and then they can go with the rebirth plot and the awesome revelation that the yellow weakness is parallax living in the central power battery. Then it gets awesome because the third film would play off the 'fear is the only weakness' flaw of the ring, which sets up all sorts of awesome potential situations. What would be cool to even the tables for the second movie would be let kyle become ion so he can give parallax hal a run for his money. I like the artist angle and i think kyle had the best romantic subplots that you read in any comic, if you don't count lois and clark. But geoff johns who can do no wrong did have a great run on flash, though.
-
He IS the 1950's era Superman. He even plays a decent geek in 30 Rock.Hal Jordan. I can see Gosling if that's the route they're gonna go. I'd love to see some one a bit older. Gosling is more Kyle Rayner to me.DON'T have Johns write it. Believe it or not, others have written GOOD Green Lantern before Geof Johns was born. The Multi-Lantern/Blackest Night stuff is borning.
-
every DC superhero story is STILL in development, after years of hearing about WW and JL projects rise and fall.
Their plans would work if they gave Timm and Dini a chance to work on them.
One more time, we'll see.
-
laugh at leblanc all you want. it is a rediculous suggestion. But green lantern is a superhero movie, and what Dark Knight had going for it was it's 'believability.' Green lantern is not star wars. I LOVE the comics, but those aliens are fucking weird looking. I have read every green lantern issue after Emerald Dawn, and I love the character. But people (or studios) will want an earth based lantern, and if its a huge success, maybe they can go with a space storyline later... Thinking more about it, i think the weird aliens might actually work for a second movie, if the first one does really well, then audiences would probably accept the aliens.
-
Care to elaborate on why green lantern would tank? there are alot of reasons why, but i'd like to hear what specifically wouldn't work... and don't say the idea of the ring as the most powerful weapon sucks, because if you think that green lantern will never work for you under any circumstances.
-
I think I've figured it out. They're releasing it in Dec. because a) that's the soonest they'd be able to get it done without skimping on the budget, b) they can attach a kick-ass Batman 3 trailer to it, and c) summer 2011 is going to be crowded enough already.
-
Doesn't anyone here remember that that was simply an April Fool's joke?
-
I've been waiting for this movie forever! GL is awesome! wait until you guys that haven't read his comics before discover the GL Core and Oa and Kilowog! You are in for a treat! The best part is that if these are successful we'll get even more heroes with films like Hawkman and Plasticman and Black Panther!
-
...they will totally screw up the costume (no mask, body armor, etc, etc) and we will all proclaim it to suck before the trailers come out....then, heavy debate between purists and casual fans. Flames on Optimus again and again. Harry Seldon has forseen it.
-
Through the magic of GGI.
-
Totally agree. Especially with those particular examples. Though at rare times there are some good casting suggestions here. Willem Dafoe for Cobra commander was a particularly good one to me. Goes to show no matter what the suggestion, the real casting can always be worse.
-
are you fucking kidding me? You telling me that a storyline liek rage of the red lanterns is boring? problem is you are so used to mediocre Green Lantern that when it finally reaches something that people never thought possible, it seems boring. Sorry but the ragecat ripping apart the yellow Lantern > everything before Johns.
-
Sorry, that's my last western reference, so if soemthing better coudl be done, then go with it.
-
Que Theme Music
-
Green lantern a B list? Maybe once upon a time, but you can't honestly tell me, rebirth, sinestro corps war, rage of red lanterns and the forthcoming blackest night are even a little boring. Sinestro Corps was better than Infinte crisis and Blackest night will be better than final crisis. I believe johns can do no wrong, but i am NOT suggesting he write it. He's brilliant at comics, but I want a proven writer who can adapt the best things green lantern used to have with the fantastic things it has going for it now. B-List my ass.
-
I'm not aware of who Jonah Hex is...I guess I'm out of the comic book loop. But then again I didn't know the watchmen and the movie itself looks good from previews.
If Jonah Hex is gonna be done, it had better be done well without compromise, otherwise it might be compared to Jonah the Whale: A vegi-tales movie. lol -
Won't need much CGI on that guy. Plus, can't you just hear him calling somebody "Poozer"? Oh, and Jason Isaacs would make for a great Sinestro, since Raul Julia is RIP.
-
His loafers are light
His poetry is a gruesome fright
Let those who worship Harry's site
Learn to stay away from any JDanielP poetry that appears here because it is lame and dumb and stupid and not funny and such. -
I was talking about that dude who plays Lee Adama on BSG- I'm a fucktard.
-
How will the CG for the ring, not look rediculous ?
Are we going to see giant green hands picking stuff up ?
Meeting the Corps (apart from Guardians) should definetely be introduced near the end of the movie. -
Should the movie be largely based around Earth or should it be largely across the Galaxy, more Sci-Fi, space movie ?

GL was one of my greatest childhood hero's. Seeing this on the big screen would be wonderful but if they are going to sit back and not give it the budget required it will tank miserably.
I can see it now. Jordan is given the ring and when activated all it does is flash..."Remember to drink your Ovaltine." -
Any news if they're still going to be blessed by Martin Campbell to direct?Wasn't there talk of George Miller picking this up after JLA was delayed again? This should be very Star Wars-y (in scope and tone). Set 50/50 in space/on Earth. If anything, more off Earth. Many different (non-humanoid) life forms are GLs. I wouldn't mind an origin story. It would be a great idea IMHO to have the 2nd movie end with a new GL taking over (if they get that far - God willing).
-
Should be part civil war, part High Plains Drifter, part Constantine (the comic, not the movie), and I agree with Josh Brolin as Jonah. IMHO, of course.

He can use his ring to make large, green peniseses.

Playin' hard to get, aren'tchya! :-D

.....is when GREEN LANTERN recharges his ring...and some people (cough, Juemad, cough)...will be reacting with "What the fcUk is this $H!T pOetrY dOin' in my GREEN LANTERN mOvie?!" Hahahahahahahahahahaha...
IN BRIGHTEST DAY, IN DARKEST NIGHT, >NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE MY SIGHT! LET THOSE WHO WORSHIP EVIL'S MIGHT, BEWARE MY POWER, GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT! And yes, if you memorize that, you are a certified geek! (Welcome to the club, Juemad!) -
...hey, that ws MY idea a few months back! Now that I think about it, HArry looks more like Ego, The Living Planet from the Marvel Comics universe. Maybe if he shaves his beard and head and wears a white t-shirt with a Lantern logo and a single big green stripe he could "pull it off". Although I'm sure Alan Moore will still disavow all credit anyway.
