			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was quite pleased to see that the <a title="Green Lantern Movie" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIyx09htG8U" target="_blank"><strong>fan trailer </strong>I made for an (at the time) non-existent <strong>&#8216;Green Lantern&#8217; movie</strong></a> has been picked up by <strong>The Times</strong> for a story about the <em>real </em>Green Lantern film that&#8217;s due to start shooting in September.</p>
<p>see <a title="Green Lantern Movie Confirmed" href="http://timesonline.typepad.com/blockbuster_buzz/2009/03/green-lantern-m.html" target="_blank">Times Online &#8211; Green Lantern movie: confirmed release date</a></p>
<p><span id="more-235"></span><br />
I made the trailer a while ago just for a bit of fun, and as some practice using various bits of software and plugins. Even so, it&#8217;s had over half a million views on YouTube and loads of really positive comments. And Total Film listed it among their <a title="Awesome Fan Trailers" href="http://www.totalfilm.com/features/10-most-awesome-fan-trailers-ever-made/page:2" target="_blank">10 Most Awseome Fan Trailers Ever Made</a>. I&#8217;m secretly hoping that Warner Bros will get in touch and commission me to do the titles for the real thing&#8230;</p>
<p>Failing that, I&#8217;ll settle for the Green Lantern movie being a <strong>massive </strong>box-office success so I can stick my entire collection of GL comics up on eBay and cash in at last&#8230;</p>
<p>Added: here&#8217;s a couple of bogus Green Lantern posters I rustled up to see how Ryan Reynolds might look as Hal Jordan&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_261" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 570px"><img src="http://www.mikeafford.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/green-lantern-movie-posters-ryan-reynolds.jpg" alt="Green Lantern Movie Posters with Ryan Reynolds" title="green-lantern-movie-posters-ryan-reynolds" width="560" height="467" class="size-full wp-image-261" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Green Lantern Movie Posters with Ryan Reynolds</p></div><br />
Update: Here&#8217;s a tiny picture of Sinestro (Jeremy Irons).</p>
<p><div id="attachment_307" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 110px"><img src="http://www.mikeafford.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/sinestro-jeremy-irons.jpg" alt="Sinestro casting - Jeremy Irons" title="sinestro" width="100" height="100" class="size-full wp-image-307" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sinestro</p></div>
<p>Update: The YouTube &#8216;Green Lantern&#8217; video has passed the one million mark.</p>
<p>Update: Here&#8217;s a <a href="http://twitpic.com/g8tju">better Green Lantern poster</a> than mine. Kind of reminds me of that great Alex Ross pic. Nice. On reflection, I probably should have attempted something a tad more dynamic for my own GL poster. Look at him standing there like a great big lemon. He should be FLYING&#8230;! Mind you, at least I&#8217;ve gone for the old-school white gloves.</p>
<p>White gloves. I ask you.</p>

<div id="mark-strong-sinestro">
<h3>Sinestro &#8211; Mark Strong in talks to appear in &#8216;Green Lantern&#8217; Movie (image)</h3>
<p>Update: Latest reports suggest Mark Strong is in talks for the role of Sinestro. So here&#8217;s a picture of my own quick effort at Mark Strong as Sinestro.</p>
<p><div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://www.mikeafford.com/images/various/Sinestro-Mark-Strong.jpg"><img alt="Sinestro - Mark Strong" src="http://www.mikeafford.com/images/various/Sinestro-Mark-Strong.jpg" title="Sinestro Mark Strong" width="400" height="376" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sinestro - Mark Strong</p></div>
</div>
<p>That&#8217;s probably enough Green Lantern movie nonsense for now&#8230;.</p>
