'Green Lantern' Trailer Debuts


I know not every one is sold on this. Me? I’m sold.

The Green Lantern trailer hit the web today after being teased on Entertainment Tonight last week and getting everyone stirring. And now we get to see all of the high flying adventure in all of its HD glory and I must say I am quite happy with the results.

Thank you technology for being able to realize so much of what we are looking for in the more fantastic comic book adaptations. While I’ve read some of the groaning about Ryan Reynolds being too lighthearted to play Hal Jordan, is there any disputing how serious the filmmakers appear to be taking the original source material?

There’s that very cool looking Kilowog that we saw last week. The complete trailer gives us our first glimpse at Tomar-Re (flying so smoothly) and a very cool looking Mark Strong as Sinestro.  It looks like we’ll be treated to some excellent action and some quality evil-doing by Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard looking very 70’s pornstar then very creepy). I was surprised at how much was squeezed into what is essentially a teaser.

Green Lantern hits theaters June 17, 2011.
