Director Martin Campbell said to Empire:
"It's daunting, Just the process, something like 1,300 visual effects shots, it's mind-blowing, quite honestly. A lot of the special effects shots work will concentrate on the Green Lantern's power ring. It's energized by a battery on the planet of Oa, which taps into the willpower of everyone in the universe. From that ring you can form constructs. So if you got into a fight, you could form a giant fist. Or a fighter plane."
LEEE777 - So they are going to put a heck of a lot of special effects and budget on the Green Lantern ring effects. Well that can only be good news for the project as it's got to look believable and amazing to Joe public. It will be tricky indeed. If they pull it off, it may be the biggest thing since "Star Wars." Fingers crossed, i personally have high hope for this movie and still cant believe it's actually going to be made!
Hal Jordan is confirmed to be played by Ryan Reynolds so far and no other casting news as yet.
Release date is June 17th 2011 of next year from Warner Brothers.
