Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern?
A comic book fan has made this movie trailer for a (fictional) Green Lantern
Also, Marvel: we want Adam Baldwin as Captain America
In other Green Lantern news, Comics Should Be Good! has posted a study of franchise reboots — old hat in comics, but now a major force in mainstream cinema. (See: James Bond, Star Trek). A sample:
It occurred to me that there is a character out there who has, at one time or another, served as an example of almost every different kind of relaunch you can do in comics. The poster child for corporate comics desperation, for longer than I’ve been reading comics, is Green Lantern.
The weird thing is, Green Lantern has been a consistently successful property. The title has had several periods in the last few decades where it’s been so successful it’s been used as a launching pad for other new titles and crossovers and what-have-you– currently, the book is the linchpin of this year’s big Blackest Night hoo-ha at DC — but for whatever reason, editors can’t stop screwing around with it.
Okay, now I’m WAY too excited about a movie that doesn’t even exist (yet). Two if you count Adam Baldwin’s Captain America (and you should).
Is there any role that cannot be filled by a Whedon alum? (Charisma Carpenter would be a great Wonder Woman, too.)
