I always thought he was a piss poor choice for Hal Jordan. I wouldn't be sad if the role was recast, not even a little bit.

I don't believe that the marketing budget was $135 million. Just in 2009 the average marketing costs were under $40 million for a film and we know that Green lantern was not marketed as well as say a films like "Thor", "Captain America: The First Avenger", and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", which all had Superbowl ads. The $120 million loss might be over inflated. Using the numbers that we know about, being 60 million short might be more realistic, although there is some unknown revenue that is not accounted for in new media.
I never once to my recollection said the marketing budget was $135 million, if I did, I mistyped. It was $100 million:

my problem with Ryan is when he does serious roles he still carries that comedic aura with him kind of hard to explain
for example watch chris evans in F4 then watch him in CA
completely different personas
ryan not so much
Seen this link before - doesn't quote it's source.
Most marketing estimates are myths. This $100 Million figure has been attributed to "sources from rival studios".
Turth is that these days people follow cult films so closely that they make up their minds whether they like a film before it's realeased. Then some people need to prove that it failed so they just plain make up numbers to justify how much it sucked. The "marketing budget" gets used every time.
Unless there's an official source then it's just more interwebz speculation (or just plain BS)
Considering the ENTIRE Internet and news outlet knows about this, there's no need to correct them
But it failed in every sense of the word. Monumentally and colossally.
Not sure what this is beyond a link to an Iphone adverisement?
Correction isn't warranted when a claim is unproven. There's every need for someone to prove a claim if they want credibility. Just because lots of people choose to gossip about a rumour doen't make it true.
Thats your opinion. And your bias.
LMGTFY has let me down. Google "Green Lantern $100 million on marketing". Along with Internet movie sites, more legitimate news media outlets, for example, the New York Times reported that. To report false news would require a retraction. You aren't allowed to report lies in the news, you're just not, you can make it as bias as possible, like Fox News. But you can't lie. No, retraction= no lie. Along with noretraction there is no statement from WB to state the production budget.
By the same token, I know a guy at DCE, Green Lantern had a budget of $10 million and was a huge success. The sequel is being made right now.
If what I just said was on a news outlet and reported, I'd be contacted about it, like Chris was from WB and others about The Dark Knight Rises.
Well, I am usually biased towards the truth.
Um. there was a court case that ruled that a news outlet could legitimately lie. Google Wison and Akre vs. Fox Television (or Akre vs. New World Communications of Tampa, Inc.). This so called "law" that a media outlet can not falsify information (or essentialy lie) is not a published law or regulation by the FCC, but rather a policy, which is not a law or a rule at all, so it is not really enforceable. Hence, media outlets can legitimately lie without recourse.
I mean, who can forget the Officially licensed Green Lantern Colostomy Bags! I will never ever forget that. It's just so hilariously awful.
I never said there was legislation. It's a convention. Lying in the news is Libel or slander and Warner could take legal action and sue. They haven't, so there is no libel or slander.
