Official Green Lantern News & Discussion Thread - Part 8

[Sawyer]

I like how they're incorporating the suit designs from the movie in to the comics! Synergy!

Well, remember, this is for the movie prequels, not the actual comics.

 

[Mysteryman]

dnno1, More then $750 million?
I could live with that!

 

[Solidus]

Just got a free ticket to see GL. So I can't wait for next week.

 

[RoughNTumble]

I'm already pissed at this game, since reynolds is the only actor they got from the movie.

They could use mark strong's likeness but not his voice? The one in the game is awful tbqh.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Really? They didn't get Strong's voice? What the hell?

I could understand if they didn't get Rush or MCD, because I think they were cast much later, but like you said, they even used Strong's likeness. I'm sure he would have done it too... they guy was clearly committed to the character. My guess is, they thought they could save a few bucks and no one would care. Stupid.

 

[Khemik@L]

Dude, you live in the Carribean, what more do you want?

To Each his own I guess. Guess the world really is balanced

"I forgot to mention, in the official press packet from WB, the runtime is listed as 1:45, that's without credits."

I'm not surprised that there is still Green Lantern bashing going on in the box office thread because of a couple of very sheltered and cynical Marvel fans. Two specific individuals are going around in circles because of GL.

What are you talking about?

 

[protocida]

I like how they mention Tamaran in Tomar-Re's prequel comic.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

What are you talking about?

The box office predictions thread. Is what I was talking about, wait. That is what you were pondering about, right?!

 

[JediJones]

Could that running time be before the extended sequence was reportedly added? I thought that sequence might have been said to be 9 minutes long and I also seem to remember seeing a 114-minute running time bandied about. You'd also have to believe this movie was going to be only 96 minutes before they made the decision to add that scene, which seems hard to believe.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

145m runtime? Awesome!

 

[JediJones]

OK let me revise and extend that. This article says $9 million was added to the budget 6 weeks ago and some scenes including a pre-credit CGI sequence were rumored to be being put back in the film. But there is no mention of the length of the restored scenes.

One hour and forty-five minutes I'm sure he means.

 

[DCUmoviepage]

The reason why they thing the movie (maybe) will suck is stupid.Why is crime this days a movie been finish close to the lauch date?

[The Sage]

Screenings already took place, other wise the postings from twitter by some who have seen it wouldn't have happened.

Sitting down to watch GREEN LANTERN. Thank you WB for offering 2D and 3D screening options! You're awsome! #greenlantern.

[HighFivingMF]

Oh snap. Anyone like my new signature?

 

[bhayes]

i have to be honest. the cg still looks crappy still. some of it looks like something for a video game cinematic.

did this film try to be too ambitious with the CG??? maybe they should've saved showing OA for another film?

 

[Metropolis_Man]

Oh snap. Anyone like my new signature?

Very clever Mr. MF. This is deserving of a t-shirt.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Haha, i love it! Does Hal say that in the movie, or is it your own inspiration?

 

[DCUmoviepage]

Oh snap. Anyone like my new signature?

 

[HighFivingMF]

Haha, i love it! Does Hal say that in the movie, or is it your own inspiration?

He says both things... But not in succession.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Lol.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Oh snap. Anyone like my new signature?
