Over at Hero Complex, Geoff Boucher has quotes from the main men involved with WB's Green Lantern. And although they don't reveal anything new plot wise, they do give us some interesting reasons why they feel Green lantern will set itself apart from the similar fare coming our way. Here are some excerpts.
Director Martin Campbell explains what makes his movie unique..
“The interesting part of all this is to take a hero and take an adventure and then go out there,” the filmmaker said pointing to the ceiling and beyond. “That’s something you haven’t really seen.”
"This was a chance to do some things I’ve never done before. We have a story that is very human and very much about human emotions but what’s within that story takes us off-world and into some alien settings that are extraordinary.”
Also, visual effects supervisor Jim Berney weighs in with why he thinks Green Lantern will take things to the next level..
“Look, to me, Spider-Man, Batman and those movies, I don’t know where you go with those other than plugging in another bad guy. They did an amazing job with those last two Batman movies but really [visually] where do you go with those characters? You’re still in New York or in Gotham. With this you go on and on. The characters, the planets, the reach…this is the hero who takes it the next level and beyond.”
There is more over at Hero Complex from Ryan Reynolds, but it's the same old "Han Solo/Star Wars" spiel he has given about 45 times already. Click the link below to check it out anyway.
Green Lantern hits theaters June 17th.
