Green Lantern Review Thread (Spoilers)

This could definitely put a strain on the playing both roles...it could possibly move production of both films into overlapping territory.

I hope there is no delay and both still get made for when they are supposed to be

Agreed! It seems like DC productions have such bad luck. They just need to get moving!

The link above runs down all the DC plans of late. I'm thinking it won't be soon.

hey,

Is the Green Lantern moving from Australia to New Orleans?

With the money issue going on regarding on where to film The Green Lantern Movie, there is this speculation I found, and thought I should share:

Update: Not long ago a source mentioned that Green Lantern might be doing some scouting in Louisiana, and I completely spaced it this morning. Same source wrote in just now to say that in fact, the production will shoot in the States next year, likely in or around New Orleans. Does that mean all the work is going to happen here? Not necessarily, but it is a sign that WB at least has a contingency plan. Original article follows.

First up, don’t take anything that follows as a suggestion that Martin Campbell’s Green Lantern isn’t going to happen. It simply may not happen where it was originally scheduled to. Australian site Inside Film reports that “Green Lantern’s proposed Australian shoot is understood to be under threat after the rising Australian dollar has blown out production costs.” What does that mean? Basically, that if Warner Bros. and the Australian government can’t come to some sort of tax break deal, you’ll see Canadian or Eastern European backdrops in the film instead of Australian.

Essentially, the problem is that the value of the Australian dollar has risen quite a bit since this spring. It’s 16% higher now; great for Australians, but not so attractive for US studios that decided to shoot there to take advantage of affordable production. Hey, you think that industry (like film production) flocking to the country has helped their dollar? Probably not by 16%, but every bit helps.

Inside Film says “Warner Bros is understood to be negotiating with the NSW State Government to receive a higher level of concessions in an effort to claw back between $US15 and $US25 million in value eroded by the currency gains.” The complication is that Warner Bros. wasn’t able to lock in their financing months ago when the picture decided to shoot down under. Now they might be left hanging while the new Narnia film and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark are able to shoot with financing packages locked in months ago when the dollar was weaker.

So where do you want to see Green Lantern based, if it can’t be the glorious vistas of Australia? If every other damn picture didn’t seem to be shooting in New Mexico these days I’d say the American Southwest is the ideal location. And probably still is; there’d be real verisimilitude for Hal Jordan’s test pilot character if the film actually shot in areas where that sort of thing took place. What a concept.

Enjoy.

New Orleans setting may be weird. the setting is perfect for a Horror, Action Mystery, Thriller etc.... not for a superhero movie. as far as i know if its filmed there then the Green Lantern will be the first superhero film made in New Orleans.

They filmed in New Orleans for Wolverine.


I would LOVE for it to be made in new orleans!

That's only 45 minutes from me

That would be insane to have that around here.

The movie is also scheduled to come out on my birthday, so the premiere would be not too long before my birthday

Yep, I didn't read about it but when I saw the movie we recognized some of the locations.

[GreenScar]

They did the Wolverine premier here in Tempe and Reynolds was here. They all talked about how great an idea it was to get out of Hollywood for premiers.

Not trying to get your hopes up too high

Yea, its doubtful it would happen here (unless they end up filming a majority of it here) but it would still be awesome

[GreenScar]

I think it's a great idea and hope to see more of it in places besides New York and LA. Of course a few days later they premiered Wolverine in LA. Still it's cool and gets the entire State hyped up.

My friends and I noticed it.

It has its nice parts like every other major city. But it also has its crap holes like them as well.

Actor Bradley Cooper is blaming Batman star Christian Bale for costing him the lead role in forthcoming superhero film The Green Lantern.

Cooper auditioned to star in the upcoming comic book movie adaptation - but ruined his screen test by imitating Bale's husky-voiced portrayal of the caped crusader.

The Hangover star is sure the casting agents were laughing at his Batman impression and that convinced them to hand the role to Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds.

Cooper laughs, "I couldn't not do Christian Bale's Batman when I was doing the audition. I don't know what it was. You put a mask on, and I actually said, 'I'm Batman.' When I walked back and saw (the playback) I thought, 'Oh my God!' It looked like a Saturday Night Live sketch. I was like, 'Oh, I'm not getting this!'" »
