Movie Trailers - Movies Blog "Geoff Johns is it," Ryan Reynolds told MTV News when asked if there were any comic books or creators in particular that influenced his performance as Hal Jordan in the upcoming movie. "His 'Secret Origins' book is what I use as the bible for this." "It's an easy thing to reference because it's an origin story as well," he went on to explain, "so that was the source material I stuck to." For those of you who may not have read "Secret Origins", here is the graphic novel's synopsis: Witness the beginning of the career of the greatest Green Lantern of all as the secret origin of Hal Jordan is revealed in this title, available for the first time in trade paperback featuring Green Lantern issues #29 to 35. Discover how and why Hal received the power ring that changed his life forever. Uncover the mystery of the death of his predecessor, Abin Sur, and find out why Jordan’s mentor, Sinestro, became obsessed with the prophecy of the apocalyptic end of the universe known as "The Blackest Night." Written by Geoff Johns, with art by Ivan Reis and Oclair Albert. Green Lantern which also stars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong will be released in cinemas on June 17, 2011!
