More Green Lantern Talk & Future Villains?


Director Martin Campbell talked to MTV and CHUD about Green Lantern revealing more information on the film.


He confirmed to CHUD that they will be using the origin story from Emerald Dawn. The comic features Hal Jordan as a very flawed person.

"The hotshot military guy who is slightly fucked up. He screws up a bit. He may be a hotshot as a pilot, but he also has chinks in his armor, which is what makes him interesting. In fact if anybody should not be chosen as Green Lantern, it would have been Hal Jordan. That's the journey that film takes, about somebody who on the surface of it is the least likely candidate to become one of the greatest Green Lanterns."


Campbell also gives some hints that we could be seeing Sinestro and possibly Star Sapphire as the villains in sequels.

"I think it will stick closely to the origin story, but we all know Sinestro, for an example, is a character who goes over to the dark side, and of course, Carol, played by Blake Lively, in later versions becomes a bad guy as well. I think people will be able to see forward to the characters that in the comic went on to (become bad guys)… but people will be ahead of us on all that I think."
