Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a little Green Lantern rumor from the good folks at Slashfilm. Now this is more of a tech geek story, but it will definitely impact what we see on-screen... whether in a good or bad way is still yet to be determined, but if Peter's sources are right it looks like there will never be a physical suit in the film. Instead, Reynolds has been filming his scenes in a motion-capture LED-lit suit with the GL Corps suit to be added in post. Peter's sources even said that Reynolds has been joking onset that he's going to be replaced by a Na'vi in the finished film. Lord of the Rings' Ngila Dickson is the costume designer and with her pedigree, I have to give her the benefit of the doubt, but depending so much on post to create clothing on a really there actor scares me a bit, to be completely honest. Unless I'm missing something they're not completely motion/performance capturing Reynolds, just his body so they can insert the suit later. That'll open the door to be able to organically have the suit appear and dissolve in the middle of a scene, which I guess is the idea. I don't know. It's either going to be revolutionary or make the whole thing feel like a cartoon. I don't see much middle ground. Read all of Slashfilm's report here!
