As the news and interviews for Green Lantern keep pouring in from this week's CinemaCon and WonderCon events, I stumbled across this interview from Hero Complex with Mr. Reynolds himself. To check out and read the full article be sure to follow the link at the bottom.
On the Reactions to the 1st Trailer and Early Footage:
"They were worried about it, I think people should have their opinions. Fanboys are known to have a very loud voice. They’re known to beat their chest hard when they like or dislike something, and that’s all part of the game. I know, because I was an integral part of the shooting process, that the movie is not a comedy at all. There’s definitely a few funny moments in it. The levity is really kind of more in a Han Solo kind of vein than anything broader....the push is just gonna be astronomical for this. It’s kind of exciting."
On Why He Chose to Be Apart of the Film:
"A movie like this, you can’t even really get a script when you meet with the director. You have to base your decision solely on concept art and what their objectives are. For me, what sold me was the space epic. The idea of doing a superhero movie in a summer particularly crowded with superhero films – it’s not really necessarily appealing to watch a guy earthbound. For me, it wasn’t. I love the space idea. The idea that it’s kind of like 'Star Wars'. I just knew that it would encompass so much ingenuity, creating a whole other world."
On the Newly Reported Justice League Rumors:
"That’s a whole other conversation. That’s a whole business model and nothing to do with me at all. No one has ever approached me about doing a 'Justice League' movie. We’ll see if they do it in the long run."
So there we have it. Personally I'm happy to finally start seeing all of this news and updates. I think I speak with the majority of us when I say bring on the new footage!! I'm excited all over again.
hits theaters this summer on June 17th!
