"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight..." Martin Campbell reciting the Green Lantern's oath. Showing off that he has some DC creds.
The Director will start shooting the much anticipated movie in two months. Having his Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds, the love interest in Blake Lively, Hector Hammond the villain for this piece with Peter Sarsgaard, and there are talks to have Mark Strong as Mentor turn Nemesis - Sinestro. They will have their primary location in New Orleans.
"It's a departure for me, I've never done a super hero before," said Campbell.
"What I like about this hero and this story is it's all about will power," Campbell said.
"It's also about fear and about courage. It's not just a spandex suit movie. He doesn't just put on the suit and fly off and face evil kryptonite and all that."
Martin Campbell was intrigued on the aspect of the story which is about an intergalactic cop reporting to powerful masters on a distant planet.
"There is a Flash Gordon element to it, this is a superhero who goes to another planet and that's different than the rest," Campbell said.
"That opens up a lot of interesting options."
From the sounds of it he really knows what he is doing. I like campbell movies both his Zorros and the two reboots of James Bond. So, I'm not worried about this film not being good.
-ACCESS out. Godspeed and MABUHAY!
