More From Greg Berlanti On Green Lantern

Latino Review nabbed a word with Berlanti about his new film Life As We Know It at Showest, but they slipped in a few GL questions too! Berlanti talks about the tone of the film, the space setting, possible cameos, and likens Hal Jordan to Top Gun's Maverick..

GL stuff comes in around 1:27. Its interesting that he talks about wanting to keep some things as a surprise in relation to cameos since director Martin Camblell has previously stated pretty definitively that they would not be happening. Maybe he was just humoring "El Guapo" there, or maybe there really are some surprises coming.

Also, as a hater of everything about Top Gun I did not like that comparison! I know its there whether I like it or not, both being fighter pilots and all, but still, ugh. If Reynolds comes off as completely unlikable in every way as Tom Cruise did in that movie..which he has been known to do in certain other roles, I will not be a happy bunny. Anyway, enough negativity, I can't wait to see some footage for this. Hopefully they will have something to show us at Comic Con this year.

Great vid!!

But come on,,,

When are we gonna hear BRADLEY COOPER is GUY GARDNER lol! ; D

p.s. a small (and i mean small) cameo of SUPERMAN would only help the GREEN LANTERN movie, i see why not?

JOE PUBLIC knows SUPERMAN!

But its cool either way!

Ror, you beat me again. [shakes fist in the air]. Mine is in interviews and won't delete. Maybe it has something to do with Nate's new feature he added.

With all the space stuff going in, they will need a different color for their green screen.

Bradley might have a slightly better chance of playing Guy since he was already was in the runnings to play Hal. Maybe the studios will instead decide to cast him as Guy. I hope so.

I love both the Alex Ross pictures in front on the headers of this GREEN LANTERN article and the SUPERMAN one!

Looks pretty classy!


Starsapphire @ Lets hope so, never saw him as HAL though ever, though im sure he would've done a good job but much better job as GUY! Fingers crossed you got a good point there, forgot him going for Hal! .... Hey you wrote Gay lol. : P

@LEEE :) What a cool and funny movie that comic would make. I'm not trying to get my hopes up that high though! Lol! I'll be stoked enough just to see a JLA movie get made in my lifetime.

Opps my mistake. I changed it.

I think he was just stretching it to counter the interviewers question about it getting the casual guy to accept it. So he compared it to the obvious example which is also well known by the general public.

But God I really don't hope they're making Hal into something he is not.
But with Campbell behind the camera and with the memory of how much emotion he infused into the seemingly emotionless 007, I think we can rest safe...

Matches @ Me too man, WB are taking the pi$$ with a JLA movie, heck they can't even make a WW or FLASH movie still!

Anyway hopefully the AVENGERS movie will be the kick they need in their butts lol!

I want a cameo of Barry, but only if it actually means something. As in, I want this film to be part of a big DC universe on film, and I want Barry to also be a part of it. As in, I want crossovers.

Although I'm not a huge fan of DC, I think it's a damn pity that those who are fans arent rewarded with cameos and easter eggs in the same way Marvel have been doing in their recent movies! However, going by what this guy is saying, there may still be a chance so fingers crossed! :)

DOGS: I had the same problem yesterday as well where I couldnt delete a duplicate article I posted! I ended up turning it into the Matthew Vaughn article under this one, lol!

Great Find! Ror
Greg Berlanti seems like he nailed Hal Jordan and his story correctly. I am excited for this and Thor. Judging by the way he responded to the cameo question, I believe there will be cameos but of the other Corps members. I'm pretty sure Warner Bros is discussing how to include maybe the Flash and Superman in the sequels of GL.

I feel its highly unlikely for us not to see a cameo of some sort in Green Lantern.

Upupandaway - 3/20/2010, 1:20 PM
I believe the only cameos we will see will be of other GL's. Easter eggs would be a good start though and would not make it necessary to add characters to the film.

Who the hell hates Top Gun?! That is a classic! Maverick, Iceman, Goose?! What the hell is wrong with you?!

MarkCassidy - 3/20/2010, 2:04 PM
hah! Classic my arse. Its a cheesy load of homo-erotic garbage about some of the most one dimensional douchebag characters in the history of cinema. But hey, each to their own. Here's the unbelievably gay volleyball scene for ya! Enjoy:)



"You can be my wingman anytime"...BLEUCAAAARFGHHHHHHHF(not that there's anything wrong with that boys!)

Haha, hey Tea, wassup man? I'm dying of a man-cold so staying in on a Sat. It sucks:(

Tea and Ror

Are you two gay, or something? "Not that there's anything wrong with that..."



More encouraging news from WB/DC insiders!

@Tea LOL that was gay as Sh*t. Also its Corps. pronounced core not corpse you sound like Obama lol.

BWahahahah!

That was a low blow, DMon. Very low.

MarkCassidy - 3/20/2010, 6:27 PM
Tut tut Tea, I know its tempting when they are just lying there..but you'l catch something cruel!

Does Obama say Corpse too?

Watchin The Departed on TV, great [frick]in movie, but Matt Damon is the weak link in it..and I usually like him..

THEHAWK - 3/20/2010, 6:54 PM
@Ror. Weird, I just watched that last night! Awesome film!

Felt bad for Leo's character though. Martin Scorsese knows how to make a film! In my opinion, he is the greatest director alive!

Hey everyone, check out my Blackest Night Lobo story

Lobo’s Blackest Night, or: Lobo’s Posthumous X-Mas Special

It is good, but I advise that only those that have no problems with graphic violence and language check this out, it gets a bit grissly.

i heard the Green Lantern movie was originally supposed to be a crazy comedy (like The Mask) starring Jack Black. *groans* We really did dodge the giant bullet here. I mean compared to Jack Black, Ryan Reynolds is even more of a perfect choice for Hal. Here is what I fear the Green Lantern movie would be like if it did star Jack Black and was a comedy:

@Ror lol yeah he does, one time he was talking about a Navy Corpsmen and he said Corpsemen because he did not know how it was pronounced.
