It is fairly well known by now that Warner Bros has been using
New Orleans Lakeshore Airport as the set of the fictitious Ferris Air for Martin Campbell's
Green Lantern. It appears that an eager fan (
Cyber Bishop) has
followed in my footsteps by offering an unofficial report of the day's filming.
Here is his EDITED description of the scene he worked on as an extra for
Green Lantern:
"We got to the set around 4:45 am (call time was 5:00am due to wardrobe fittings for 25+ extras).
When we got to the set they actually made us Ferris Air badges with our real names on them.
They had huge Ferris and American flags hanging, and an experimental prop plane in the center with ropes around it.
Two Ferris personnel carts bringing senator Hammond and some other business men around the plane (marked United States Air Force) to their destination (the hangar with the experimental plane).
Tim Robbins (Senator Hammond), Jay O. Sanders (Carl Ferris) and Deke Anderson (4 Star General) were all in the carts getting transported to the other hangar.
Ryan Reynolds and Peter Sarsgaard were scheduled to be in the scene"
When we got back I did manage to go behind the wardrobe rack nearest to me and snap a shot of a Ferris air logo on a jumpsuit [and airport exit]:
