Word on the street is that Ryan Reynold's won't actually be wearing a tangible suit as The Green Lantern, DC's latest comic book movie that's currently in development.
"Remember, the Green Lantern suit is something that should look alien — it needs to seem other worldly. It encompasses any creature that wears the ring, and Hal Jordan is the first human to ever wear the suit. This was a chance for Dickson [Ngila Dickson: Costume Designer] to do something different. You also have to consider that Hal changes into the suit multiple times in mid scene, and the cg also allows him to do this."
If you ask me, this make perfect sense, and if done right could work very well. Many GL fans are upset that this may take something away from the overall visual of Green Lantern, that a tangible suit is needed to add realism. Well, don't forget, they were able to successfully pull this off with Golem, Dr. Manhattan and (dare I say it) Jar Jar Binks! With CG technology's continued sophisticated growth, Iron Man and Avatar being prime examples, I think this could actually do wonders for Green Lantern.
If Ryan Reynolds plays Green Lantern with a level of seriousness, leaving out his Van Wilder antics, this could be a great film. Here's to hope!
