"It’s just tough," Reynolds told
Hollywood.com during their recent set visit to
Green Lantern. The actor then went on to talk about the complexities of being in such a CGI heavy movie:
"A lot of times we build stuff and I can really just build muscle memory of everything I’m doing. Sometimes we’re going to create a construct and it’s going to be modified in post from what we thought it was on the day we shot it. It’s about trying to find different options!" He went on to discuss Hal Jordan's arc as a
"real family story" that is
"steeped in tragedy. He’s at odds with his entire family and is a bit of a pariah, but he himself doesn’t see that. It’s the same reason people who play villains in a great way defend their characters. They believe they are not the villains, they just have different convictions than everyone else." Mark Strong, who plays the Green Lantern who teaches Jordan how to use his ring initially, had this to say of his character:
"He’s going to be something to contend with. He really brings this weight and dignity to his character. He’s so elegant in the way he moves and the way he behaves and speaks; it’s minimal effort for maximum gain with him." And in an interview with
HitFix, he also described having the patented pink skin and black hair as well as wearing boots that make him a towering 6'7. When asked about the villainous future of Sinestro, he added:
"Any backstory you can get is useful, but I'm trying not to foreshadow. But, having said all that he has a kind of presence that is undeniably strong. He goes to the dark side eventually not because he's inherently evil, but because he's a control freak. A dictatorial, militaristic guy who wants to keep order." "So, for him all that happens is that just, it's like a revolving circus. It just tips over into him keeping the people in his sector under his thumb and that even the lantern corps are no longer worthy. But, he loves the Corps and he's the greatest Green Lantern and I'm just trying to give him a presence and a weight that is worthy of that."
