Power rings as used by various wielders have exhibited (but are not limited to) the following effects:

    * Creates solid 'light energy' which is only limited by the mind
    * Constructs of green 'solid-energy,' often of tremendous size and/or complexity.
    * Flight, including flight at speeds beyond that of light.
    * Plasma bolts.
    * Ability to walk through walls by travelling through 'the Fourth Dimension' [Alan Scott]
    * The rings can act as semi-sentient computers, including accessing the Book of Oa, a massive database of everything from the laws of the Guardians and the Corps to the history of the universe.
    * Time travel.
    * The rings are still reliant on the lantern-shaped power batteries, but no longer limited to 24 hours' charge as they originally were. Kyle Rayner's ring was the first ring to absorb more power than originally thought, having stored the main power battery's energy following its explosion on Oa.
    * Telepathic powers.
    * Translation of virtually all languages.
    * Force field generation.
    * Radiation, including simulated kryptonite radiations.
    * Generate "earplugs" to block out all telepathic communication and manipulation.[6]
    * Render user invisible.[7]
    * Green Lantern: Rebirth revealed that only a certain type of willpower can use the ring effectively, as evidenced when Green Arrow's "cynical" willpower barely allows him to generate a single arrow and leaves him exhausted after this feat.
    * Put humans into a state of suspended animation [8]

RYAN REYNOLDS IS HAL JORDAN!!!
or Green Lantern if you don't know who that is.


Bradley Cooper won't be fleeing the color yellow, and Justin Timberlake won't be taking it on down to Lanternville.

After a week of buzz, Ryan Reynolds has vanquished his competitors and won the seemingly coveted opportunity to wear the ring (and maybe tights) for GREEN LANTERN, according to Variety.

Reynolds completes a comic-character hat trick (after Hannibal King and Wade "Deadpool" Wilson) to play Hal Jordan, who gets conscripted into the Green Lantern Corps and is tasked with protecting the planet by fabricating emerald-colored objects with powerful finger jewelry.

Two-time Bond relauncher Martin Campbell (GOLDENEYE, CASINO ROYALE) is directing the Warner Bros. action/sci-fi flick about the DC Comics hero. Production is now expected to begin in January (the movie was initially planned for a December 2010 release). Where this leaves Reynolds' planned DEADPOOL movie (a possible conflict of interest) remains to be seen.

Exclusive: One Of These Five Lovely Ladies WILL Be Hal Jordan’s Girlfriend!

Before I begin, I have to give massive props to Drew McWeeny for having my back during last week’s Tobey Maguire/The Hobbit kerfuffle.  I highly recommend you read his piece HERE because as he says in the last sentence, actors and publicists lie to the press, and acting like every word they speak is truth is just ignorant.

Anyway, back to business.

So what is going on with THE GREEN LANTERN movie?

Not much has been heard about the film since they cast Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern and the production was pulled out of Australia.

Well, I did my usual snooping around and I was able to nail down who the five candidates are for the role of CAROL FERRIS – Hal Jordan’s love interest in the film.

Per the script, Carol Ferris (27) is the daughter of aerospace mogul Carl Ferris. She works for her dad’s company FERRIS AIR, got an MBA, and has a lifetime crush on Hal Jordan.

According to my sources, the five candidates are:

1) James Bond heartbreaker EVA GREEN



2) The voice of DC’s animated WONDER WOMAN film KERI RUSSELL



3) Helen of TROY’s DIANE KRUGER



4) Gossip girl’s BLAKE LIVELY



5) and JENNIFER GARNER

Green Lantern Gets the Official Green Light

Visual effects supervisor Karen Goulekas (The Day After Tomorrow, Spider-Man) has announced on her Blog that Green Lantern got the official green light yesterday (Wednesday) and that filming will start in 10 weeks (sometime in March):

Wow! Been a long time since I posted! But today is a day worth posting about!

Green Lantern got the official green light today! And not a second too soon - only 10 weeks out from shooting!

While it's great news we are a go - now we have to actually get our prep done in 10 weeks!
DOH!

But we have an amazing crew - so we will make it happen!

In previous Blog posts, she has mentioned that the film will include over 1300 effects shots. To be directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye), Green Lantern will star Ryan Reynolds and is scheduled for a June 17, 2011 release.

Would you prefer to see a darker, more serious take on the character, or do you feel Campbell is spot on?

Box Office Mojo has confirmed that Warner Bros will be releasing the superhero film in 3D, when it hits screens on June 17th 2011. The film begins principal photography later this month, and was said to have been shooting some tests recently. It is unclear if it is too late for the production to shoot the movie using 3D cameras, or if the same post production process will be used.

EXCLUSIVE: New Green Lantern Set Photo

Is that a SPACE SHIP in the water?!? Follow the jump to see for yourself...

The Green Lantern cast and crew are apparently working day and night in Madisonville, LA filming a scene that has yet to be disclosed. You can check out a video of the location by clicking HERE.

This morning, I received an email from a Madisonville resident who had stopped by the movie set and managed to snap this quick photo at the Mandeville Lakefront:



What is that being lowered into the water, you ask? Taking the film's context into consideration, it definitely looks like an otherworldly space craft. Anyone familiar with Green Lantern mythology should know that there is one space ship that is crucial to Hal Jordan's origin story. That ship belonged to his predecessor Abin Sur; who crash landed on Earth before passing his duties onto the former test pilot. The intricate design of Abin's ship has varied throughout the years, but it's sleek, silver look has remained consistent.
