"Fans can expect a movie that has a scope and a scale unlike anything else," the actor told Parade in a recent interview when asked about his role as Hal Jordan in the upcoming movie. I think of it as Star Wars in the DC universe. I was blown away just visiting the art department on a movie like that; they should just do a film on that. It's like a trip to an amusement park that you wished existed."
Sounds like we're in for a visual treat then as previous reports have also indicated! Reynolds was then asked whether he finds it difficult to go from working on a smaller movie like
Buried to a big budget epic like
Green Lantern.
"When you're in the trenches working on a movie, it's you and your director and you're talking about problems and problem-solving and that's the heart of filmmaking, I think. And it's the same whether you're on a $200 million budget or a $2 million budget."
Personally, I thought that Ryan Reynolds' performance in
Buried was Oscar nomination worthy. I admit to having my concerns about the actor despite interviews like this one but I now have no doubt that Hal Jordan is in brilliant hands!
Green Lantern will be released on June 17, 2011!
