Warner Bros. released a new Green Lantern trailer this week, and this one might just be the most exhilarating of them all. There’s plenty of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, but this time around we get to see more of Parallax the universe destroyer, the mad scientist Dr. Hector Hammond, and the infinitely gorgeous Blake Lively. This movie is going to be EPIC. It lands in theatres June 17 in 3D.

Trailer: Green Lantern
Today Warner Bros. released the first full length trailer for Green Lantern, a Martin Campbell directed sci-fi extravaganza based on the DC Comic of the same name. Ryan Reynolds is Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern, a test pilot who is granted a green ring that gives him awesome superpowers. In addition to this fast action trailer, which includes just the right amount of aliens and superhero spankage, the studio released this synopsis:
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
Green Lantern releases wide June 17, 2011. Download the trailer in HD, courtesy of Apple. And oh yeah, today Reynolds was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive. Do what you will with that bit of information.
This is what Ryan Reynolds will look like as Green Lantern
The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly (set to hit newsstands July 16) features the very first image of Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern on its cover. The character looks pretty bad-ass to me. And after proving he can kick some ass as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I have no doubt Van Wilder will impress as Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern. Green Lantern, an upcoming sci-fi flick directed by Martin Campbell, is based on the DC Comic of the same name. Reynolds stars as Hal Jordan, a test pilot who is granted a green ring that gives him awesome superpowers. As one of many Green Lanterns, he is sworn to keep intergalactic order. The movie also stars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, and Tim Robbins. It’s expected to hit theatres June 17, 2011.
