what really made this look awesome, imho, are the other green lanterns. they didn’t look stupid cgi the way all cgi stuff looks these days, and they didn’t look like the thing from the FF movies recently. they looked… drawn. animated. AWESOME! alas, i know no studio would ever be so bold as to do something like that.

Totally agree! I’m a huge Green Lantern fan, and a huge Nathan Fillion fan, so this made me so wish it was real. I hope the real Green Lantern live-action movie ends up being as good, even though I’m sure they won’t make such a casting choice.

Oh, and when I read the topic I thought this would be a rant about how the trailers for Terminator Salvation were ALL KINDS OF AWESOME, while the film is apparently mediocre.

@Sah: The only LotR reference I saw was the sene @ 0:38 when “Hal” picks up the “ring”.

ANd while I don’t find Green Lantern that interesting, I would probably go see it if they got a good actor (like Nathan Fillion).

Oh, and I’m really surprised people commented on how it was the FF4 scenes, or the Matrix scenes, or the Star Trek scenes that gave it away… for me it was the music. Ripped STRAIGHT from the Star Trek previews – and even then only a veiled rip off of the Batman Begins / The Dark Knight theme.

I can only agree, it’s well done.
But now I’m curious. I constantly got flashbacks to Lord of the Rings during that trailer. Is it just because I don’t know anything about the green lantern except that he’s some kind of super hero, or did anyone else hear it?

Those parts from fantastic 4 gave it way.

Oh yeah. NOW. The Green Lantern and The Flash were my two favorite superhero comics as a kid, and I never, EVER go enough GL. (Really liked Green Arrow too!). And Fillion as the Green Lantern? Too cool for words. Oh yeah, I am ready for this movie. Now we just have to pray it gets done.

Oh…and a pretty damn good trailer, too!

Ahh, you had my hopes up. I started watching the trailer and was thinking, some of these scenes look familiar. The I saw the Star Trek scene that is fresh on my mind because I had scene it Saturday. I scrolled down to only confirm my thoughts. Oh well, I’m sure it will happen one of these days.

The Captain Tightpants reference was pure style.
