Building up to the release of the highly anticipated live action film, Green Lantern, in theatres June 17, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights arrives on Blu-Ray™, DVD, On Demand and for Download June 7 from Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation.

Fillion provides the voice of the animated film’s central character Hal Jordan, the human Green Lantern assigned to Sector 2814 (which includes Earth). Fillion has starred in several primetime television series including Desperate Housewives, Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He has also developed a popular cult following as a pair of Joss Whedon’s heroic captains: Capt. Mal Reynolds in the space-western series Firefly and follow-up film, Serenity; and Captain Hammer in Whedon’s internet sensation Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Fillion returns to the DC Universe after his successful turn as Steve Trevor in the animated film Wonder Woman, and has performed voice work on Justice League, Robot Chicken, The Venture Bros., and several Halo video games.



Moss gives voice to Arisia, a young recruit forced into her first mission on just her third day as a Green Lantern. Prior to starring as the ever-evolving Peggy Olson in AMC’s ground-breaking series Mad Men, Moss was featured on The West Wing, Invasion and Picket Fences. Moss has been active in voiceovers for animation with previous roles in Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs, Freakazoid! and It’s Spring Training, Charlie Brown!.

The voice cast for the animated Green Lantern: Emerald Knights also features actor/spoken word artist Henry Rollins (Sons of Anarchy, The Henry Rollins Show) as Kilowog, Jason Isaacs (the Harry Potter films) as Sinestro, legendary professional wrestler “Rowdy” Roddy Piper (They Live) as Bolphunga, Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) as Abin Sur, Kelly Hu (The Vampire Diaries) as Laira and Wade Williams (Prison Break) as Deegan. Radio Hall of Fame commentator/talk show host Michael Jackson voices the esteemed Guardian, Ganthet.

Bruce Timm is executive producer of Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Directors are Lauren Montgomery, Jay Oliva and Christopher Berkeley.

The full-length animated Green Lantern: Emerald Knights complements the Warner Bros. theatrical release of the highly anticipated live-action major motion picture, Green Lantern. Green Lantern: Emerald Knights will be distributed by Warner Home Video as a Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack and 2-Disc Special Edition DVD, as well as single disc DVD. The film will also be available On Demand and for Download.

@MultiPurposeNaji

question! you bring up a fine point, do you the actual sales / rentals numbers? or know where to get them? I'm always curious how the direct-to-DVD releases for both Marvel and DC perform. For whatever reason, box office performance is easy as pie to research, but those numbers seem to be incredibly more difficult to (accurately) find.
thanks!

They should really start worrying about their live action pictures instead of these animated ones. I mean, I like them but there's no comparison

I own it and like it, holds up well as an origin story at the very least.

DC animated movies own Marvels right now. They both need to do more. And do some big storylines. Would love to see a full out Civil War or Age of Apocalypse animated movie that stays true to the comics.

@Spider...I know...I thought it was gonna be based on the good story line back in the day when Rayner meets the old GL Corps but once again, the company is using the title for the wrong purpose

@NIPROCK First flight was awesome and did not need saving. It one of the greatest fight finales I've seen in a superhero flick and judging by the artwork it looks to continue that universe that 1st flight originated in. Should be good SHOULD BE WHY AM I EVEN DOUBTING DC ANIMATION

VictorHugo

Daniellantern: sounds like a sequel rebooting the reboot.

In "First Flight" Arisia was already a stablished Green Lantern when newcomer Hal Jordan arrived.

Now, in the sequel, Arisia is the rookie and Hal Jordan the veteran.

Let's give it a chance the story is different I don't no.
glmeyer
glmeyer - 2/10/2011, 11:38 AM
Why does everything have to have Hal Jordan in it??? There are 4 other GL's who never tried to destroy the universe. Heck, he's not even the original. Can I at least get some Kyle or Guy already???
Scarecrow44
Scarecrow44 - 2/10/2011, 1:34 PM
They should have done a sequel to First flight. Sinestro corps war cough cpugh cough. Wheres Tomar-Re or even Tomar-Tu!!!
GUNGRAVE1
GUNGRAVE1 - 2/10/2011, 7:40 PM
I think GL first flight sequel would be good to let.
