Green Lantern: The Motion Picture

Sector 666, who is the GL? or is there none?

 

[The Mike]

There is none. The massacre of the Manhunters occurred in Sector 666 which is Atrocitus' people, only five beings were said to survive from the entire sector so the GLs purposely ignored that region when they began replacing the Manhunters. Atrocitus was retconn'd into killing Abin Sur and planting the seeds that eventually led to Sinestro's downfall.

So how does Alan Scott fit into the whole GL Corps business? Is he kind of an anomaly? From another universe, but brought into this by a Crisis or something similar?

Alan Scott isnt part of the Green Lantern Corps. His ring was a meteor that fell to earth and he made a ring out of. It has similar powers to the Green Lantern Corps ring, but its original weakness was living matter/wood I believe, as opposed to the color yellow.

He was created long before the Green Lantern corps in terms of DC timeline, and is and always was part of the same universe. IN some depictions, his ring is actually more powerful then the corps rings.

 

[The Mike]

Sort of...

The Starheart fell to Earth and had been fashioned into a metal lantern that got into the hands of Alan Scott who was railroad engineer. The Lantern instructs Scott in how to fashion a ring from its metal giving him the Green Lantern powers. He called himself that due to the fact that the Lantern and the Starheart was green. The Starheart itself was created billions of years ago by the Guardians of the Universe. The Guardians had sought to remove magic from the universe. To this end, all energies mystical or magical, both good and evil, were gathered and bound, and compressed within the pith of a star. This was to be a prison for all eternity.

There is an implied connection to Yalan Gur, an ancient member of the Green Lantern Corps.

That is all new retroactive continuity creations but it has that Yalan Gur died during reentry to Earth’s atmosphere, burning up, his life absorbed by the battery. Its casing melted and crashed as a green meteor, fusing with the mystical "Starheart".

 

[The Mike]

Oh and technically Alan IS in the GLC, they made him an honor guard member recently but he still uses the Starheart NOT an Oan ring.

 

[Kabukiman]

Cool, thanks for the info!

My GF is halfway there. She's very interested in Green Lantern because of Ryan Reynolds. I just gave her Green Lantern: Rebirth to read through. I'll give her the Sinestro Corps war next.

 

[hunnipot85]

aw thanks jim! Yeah Ryan Reynolds got me interested in this film
When Blake Lively got cast I started getting hyped. I love em both, so i'm excited!

 

[Grange Wallis]

This concept designs and character designs are awesome! So good! I'm loving the reality of these Lanterns! They so could have easily just made them humanoids with otherworldly faces! Can't wait to see some moving images!

Rebirth is the wrong way to go. I tried to give that to my wife and she was lost immediately. The best place to start is Green Lantern: Secret Origins because its a nice retelling of the origin.

I'm loving all the designs as well, GW!

I'm looking forward to seeing more, more, more!

They're great aren't they?! There seems to be more of the original Green and Black costume motif in the newer designs that are coming out. So maybe Hal's suit might have a more traditional comic look design than just being a simplistic green muscle suit we've seen so far... I can't wait until more shots are release with some hi-res images for all these designs! I hope a "Art of..." book gets released!

I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Interactive Entertainment (video games) maj. Animation. But I'm going to further study in animation next year and want to get into CGI compositing and design! I'd love to be eventually working on something like this!

Such an open canvass!

 

[Buttmunch]

Yeah the green and black oufits on all of the aliens look great, but that solid green muscle suit from EW for Hal isn't. Hopefully it gets revised and looks more like all those new alien costumes!

I hope they change Hal's GL suit to match all the other alien's GL costumes, their designs are badass!

No news for 2 weeks????

What the hell is going on here?

Where's The Mike?

 

[The Mike]

On Oa.

Recently, I became privy to several high resolutions stills and storyboards which may be associated with Martin Campbell’s superhero adaptation Green Lantern, showcasing the film’s star, Ryan Reynolds, wearing the title character’s iconic suit. Two months ago, Entertainment Weekly revealed the first image of the star in the CGI rendered costume, which caused distress to many fans of the comic hero. Those fears of seeing a completely different suit from what they are used to in the comics will be put to rest when the first Green Lantern trailer hit theaters before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 this November; since the film version of the suit very closely resembles it’s comics counterpart. Until then, since I cannot show you the images, I will attempt to describe them to you as best possible.

* Warner Bros was contacted before this article went live in an attempt to secure the validity of these images, but their representatives refused to comment.

Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) does not don the suit until his first trip to the planet Oa; which takes place when his power ring acknowledges his need for training after he creates his first construct on Earth.
When the suit, which is created out of a “hard light” construct from the power ring, is in its solid form, the mask, boots, shoulders, chest, abdomen and back are a distinct, rich green, while the arms, legs and waist areas are a deep black.
The suit has definitive lines which segregate the green and black colors.
The glowing, green textured lines which encompass the suit fluctuate in intensity as Jordan gains more control over the power ring, which channels his willpower. The more focus he has, the less it "bleeds" energy.
The front, green section of the suit does not extend below and around Jordan’s crotch as depicted in many of the older comic books. Instead, it ends in a sharp point at the base of his abdomen in the modern fashion.
When flying, or traveling through space, the suit emits a faint green glow around the ring bearer. Jordan flies, of his own will, many times throughout the film.
The ring is comprised of a solid silver band. Over its front, a translucent green attachment is centered with a jewel which visibly “flows” with energy.
The individual power batteries each Lantern Corp member carries are much different from the comics’ versions. These are mostly comprised of the same green, translucent material which covers the power ring. The handle of the battery is squared off, and immobile. A large jewel rests at its center as well.
An inscription around the jewel appears to be the Green Lantern Oath, which each member of the Corps must recite to charge their rings.
As for constructs, fans will be happy to know that the filmmakers have gone to great lengths to include many complex ones; aside from the basic shields, swords and power blasts which are featured as well. Though several of these may not make it into the final cut of the film, I have seen designs for a Semi truck, dune buggy, fighter jet and anti-aircraft gun.

Green Lantern is scheduled to hit theaters June 17th, 2011

The site had someone render the look based on what they had and this is what they posted:
