The Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan was on my most-anticipated films a couple of years back. However, by the time they showed  us a preview of that horrible, horrible costume, and with the very lackluster trailer, my anticipation for this film waned down to a barely-audible “meh.” Green Lantern’s a favorite character of mine and it feels like the filmmakers were doing their best to strip from the movie everything that made the comic so great.

And I felt that way, until I saw this 4-minute video showing footage from WonderCon. This short clip totally restored my faith in my the movie. I’ll let the footage speak for itself.

Opening in 3D and 2D theaters on June 17, the Martin Campbell-directed action adventure stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins, Temuera Morrison, Jay O. Sanders, Taika Waititi, Jon Tenney and Geoffrey Rush.

The costume still sucks, though.

What do you think of this new footage?

First off, the official Green Lantern movie logo:

Looking good.

And the SDCC goodies just keep on coming. Warner Brothers has just released teaser posters for the upcoming Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds. We have four posters in all, featuring a portion of the Green Lantern oath, and as much as I hate the (unfinished) Green Lantern costume, the posters are giving me hope for this film.

Check out the teaser posters after the break.

Okay, we’re not exactly excited with the guy playing Hal Jordan, but Martin Campbell’s directing this, and if Casino Royale is any indication, this movie is going to be awesome.

A few months before, we’ve seen some concept art of the GL movie leak. We don’t know if those were the concepts they used for the movie, but they were awesome. Now, from MTV, we have here newly-revealed promo art for Green Lantern. (continue reading…)
