Official Green Lantern Plot Synopsis Revealed
ComicBookMovie got their hands on the official synopsis for Warner Bros.’ upcoming film adaptation of the comic Green Lantern. Martin Campbell-directed big screen adaptation starring Ryan Reynolds, Peter Sarsgaard, Blake Lively and Mark Strong. Green Lantern is scheduled to hit theaters on June 17th, 2011.
Here’s the plot synopsis in its entirety.
‘Bringing the enduringly popular superhero to the big screen for the first time, “Green Lantern” stars Ryan Reynolds (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, under the direction of Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”).
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.
First Look at Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond in Green Lantern
Sky Showbiz has posted the first image of what appears to be Peter Sarsgaard‘s Hector Hammond in Warner Bros. Pictures’ Green Lantern.
The action superhero film follows Hal Jordan, the alter ego of Green Lantern, who is an ordinary man chosen by a dying alien named Abin Sur to receive a green energy-powered ring used for protecting the planet.
Like most DC villains, Hector Hammond has seen several iterations over the years. In the 2008 Green Lantern: Secret Origin (a re-telling of Hal Jordan’s first days as a Green Lantern), Hammond is a private consultant for Ferris Aircraft and while inspecting Abin Sur’s crashed aircraft, is affected by the meteorite fragment in its reactor. We wouldn’t be surprised to see the filmmakers use this plot device, as it would tie all the origin elements together economically in a more cohesive story.
Green Lantern Set Photo: Abin Sur’s Spaceship?
Comicbookmovie has gotten their hands on a photo that appears to be from the Madisonville, Louisiana set of Martin Campbell’s Green Lantern and appears to be the spaceship of Abin Sur, the Green Lantern who gives Hal Jordan (played by Ryan Reynolds) his power ring. It looks like it has made a water landing instead of crashing on land as it does in the comics.
First Green Lantern Movie Set Photos
The first on-set photos of Ryan Reynolds at work on the first day of the Green Lantern shoot in New Orleans have gone online at DCUmoviepage and Comic Book Movie.
In the pictures, Reynolds was seen filming his part at a bar called Old Point Bar which was renamed Broome’s Bar in honor of Green Lantern creator John Broome.
Green Latern was created in 1940 by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell. Hal Jordan (Reynolds) introduced in 1959, a second-generation test pilot, is an ordinary man who was given the power ring and battery (lantern) by a dying alien named Abin Sur. When Abin Sur’s spaceship crashed on Earth, the alien used his ring to seek out an individual to take his place as Green Lantern: someone who was “utterly honest and born without fear.”
Blake Lively Joins Ryan Reynolds In “Green Lantern”
Blake Lively has been cast to play opposite Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan in the upcoming film, “Green Lantern.”
She will be the leading lady in the highly-anticipated DC Comic’s superhero movie which is a Warner Bros. project.
Lively will play Carol Ferris, who runs her father’s aerospace company that hires Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds), a test pilot who later becomes her love interest and the intergalactic policeman known as the Green Lantern.
