First look at Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern!!


via Entertainment Weekly July 23


GREEN LANTERN will be a movie trilogy, the first installment of which will see the light of day in June 2011, directed by Martin Campbell who gave us the spectacular Casino Royale. Other than Ryan in the title role, the cast will include Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Tim Robbins and Angela Bassett.

Excerpts from the article:
Ryan, on the incredible stunts he had to perform:
"The first time you do it, you're deeply considering an adult diaper."

On merchandise potential for the movie:
"There'll be Green Lantern hubcaps. The Green Lantern terry-cloth onesie. The Green Lantern prostate check."

On what he'll take away from the experience:
"I'm definitely leaving with a ring. And maybe an ulcer."


I'm not so sure about his mask, it looks too painted on. Here's a comparison between different incarnations of the comic book hero:




I'm leaning towards the one in the middle but have to say the movie costume looks cool. Urgh, have to wait a whole year for the movie! But all's good :)
