Rumor Debunked: Marc Guggenheim Says “Green Lantern 2” Report is Bull


Posted in: Movie

So what was that? Two days. Two days for a wild rumor to be debunked. That’s probably a DC Entertainment record. For those late to the show,  let me recap. Cosmic Book News dropped a bunch of script details, new cast members and new characters for “Green Lantern 2”. Like most of the internet, I was intrigued but again like most of the internet, I was hugely skeptical. So thankfully, “Green Lantern” screenwriter Marc Guggenheim has cleared up the situation promptly. Here’s the short and oh so sweet quote below courtesy of ComicBook.com:

 

“Absolute Bullshit”

 

Guggenheim offered no other comment. So sorry fanterns, a Green Lantern movie sequel is still a no-go.

Geoff Johns Brings ‘Wrath of the First Lantern’ Crossover to Lantern Books


Posted in: Ringside News

The “Wrath of the First Lantern” story line kicks off in February’s Green Lantern issue 17 and continues in Red Lanterns, Green Lantern Corps and Green Lantern: New Guardians. The arc centers on this old, powerful and bizarre force and his role in the fates of Hal Jordan, Sinestro, John Stewart, Guy Gardner and the newest member of the Green Lantern Corps, Simon Baz.

“I don’t want to say he’s a villain or a hero,” Johns says of the First Lantern, who was introduced in DC Comics’ recent Green Lantern Annual. “He’s just a being who’s targeting our main lanterns, our guys, to see if there’s a way that maybe the universe could improve if they made different choices in their lives.

VIDEO: Green Lantern: The Animated Series Acting Reference


Posted in: Green Lantern: The Animated Series

Today is Saturday, and unfortunately that means lots of Green Lantern: The Animated Series fans are going through withdrawal. So, GLTAS producer Giancarlo Volpe gives us a short video showing us reference process that they go through to make those great episodes we love so much.

Animation is always better with acting reference, even if the “actor” is just an animator with no shame. This is a highlight reel of some stuff we sent to our wonderful overseas studio, CGCG to help them with their scenes.

An extra special thanks to Boola Robello for compiling and editing all this footage. You rock!

This video contains the song “Hal vs. Atrocitus” from the Green Lantern: The Animated Series soundtrack, available on Amazon and iTunes.
