Geoff Johns Confirms another Lantern

The DC exec has let loose another tidbit of information about Green Lantern's casting.

Scoop

A few weeks ago, Geoff Johns confirmed Mark Strong's casting as Sinestro in Martin Campbell's space adventure Green Lantern. Last night he teased fans with another scoop from behind the scenes via his verified Twitter account:





Salaak is an extraterrestrial Green Lantern Corps member from the planet Slyggia. He has the appearance of an insect humanoid with orange skin and four arms. He is a veteran of most of the Green Lantern campaigns and is considered both a pessimist and a loner.

That makes a total of five confirmed Lanterns besides Hal Jordan: Abin Sur, Tomar Re, Kilowog, Salaak and Sinestro. What has yet to be revealed by the studio is whether the non-human Lanterns will be mainly composed of CGI or whether they are leaning towards more practical effects (i.e. guys in suits).

Guy Gardner's a must. Stewart and Rayner no. Stewart for a cameo yes as Stewart only not a GL. Rayner is great but no need to shove him into continuity when he's not yet necessary.

Guys in suits with some CGI. Please don't over do it! That is done way to much now.

If it is, then they're probably rehearsing the make out scene! Show her how its done Reynolds!

I have a feeling it's makeup and suits because if it was cgi and they started everything monday it wouldnt really be all set.

I still think Michael Clark Duncan would be perfect for Kilowog. He has both the size and the voice.

Curious. If Johns saw Salaak, doesn't that suggest that Salaak is going to be a costume? Meaning, that he isn't going to be in post-production CGI? Or, he mere saw the renderings that will later be put in the film.

Question: is it just me, or is Green Lantern's mask the same with Green Hornet's? are they cousins or what?!

I really hope they incorporate some type of ring interface

Yes Blake is so wrong, SO WRONG FOR THE ROLE. Cmon people you know this has Kate Bosworth written all over it.
