Trailer for Green Lantern
The trailer for Martin Campbell‘s Green Lantern, starring Popscorn favorite Ryan Reynolds, is finally out and boy is it pretty lame. That initial reaction likely has a fair amount to do with the Lantern’s green tights, which the studio decided to render entirely using computers. The idea was controversial enough at the time (for good [...]
Super Hot Super Heroes
When the Avengers assembled at Comic-Con recently, it became pretty evident that in order to play a superhero (or villain), one had to have super-human good looks. That isn’t exactly surprising, right, because who wants the day to be saved by a troll? And it’s not exactly a new trend — Christian Bale as Batman, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and the list goes on. But considering the fervor for comic-book based films as of late and the interweaving of them as evidenced by the Avengers agenda, the power behind a square jaw and bedroom eyes becomes all the more clear, and seemingly necessary. Here’s a look at 12 recent castings that seem to prove the point.
Ryan Reynolds on the set of Green Lantern
There’s not a lot to show here, but it’s nice to finally get a look at Ryan Reynolds on the set of Green Lantern. Much better snap than that which surfaced of Peter Sarsgaard (as bad guy Hector Hammond) earlier this week. Thank ya, MTV.
Buried Poster
Buried, starring Ryan Reynolds, looks to be one of the more anticipated films of the fall. Lionsgate gobbled it up shortly after the film’s premiere at Sundance, and seemingly for good reason. The trailer, which we’ve included here as well (since we were remiss in featuring it earlier), is quiet and creepy in the most uncomfortable of ways. Today, thanks to our friends at FirstShowing.net, we have the first teaser poster for the film, and damn is it well-done.
Paper Man Trailer
It’s strange that Paper Man is just now getting a theatrical trailer, considering it made the festival rounds mid-last year. Few have probably heard of the film, including myself, which is a shame. Jeff Daniels, Ryan Reynolds (in tights!), Emma Stone and Lisa Kudrow make for a lovely indie cast. I suppose Reynold’s turn as Captain Excellent was the formative experience needed to land the Green Lantern gig. From the trailer, Paper Man looks a lovely, charming film.
Is This the Green Lantern Spaceship?
Well, not specifically the Green Lantern, himself, but rather superhero Abin Sur a popular figure in the Green Lantern mythology. As most are familiar, the feature film is underway and stars Ryan Reynolds as the lead. Not much about the film has surfaced to date, but some wily character in Madisonville, LA, where filming is underway, snapped the photo and emailed it to ComicBookMovie.com. We’d obviously like to see Reynolds in the signature tights (fan-made art may not be that far off), but I suppose a shiny spaceship will have to do for now.
A Guide to Ryan Reynolds Shirtless
At a recent dinner party that followed a group outing to The Proposal, most of the chatter focused on one of the movie’s scenes in particular. And if you’ve seen it, you probably know which one I’m referring to: the one where a sweaty Ryan Reynolds and an equally wet Sandra Bullock bump…well, ugly isn’t the word for either of them…into each other. And based on the cover of Entertainment Weekly that highlighted Reynolds this month, featuring him without a shirt is a moneymaker.
The Proposal
Proposals for marriage are most always heavily orchestrated affairs. Despite considerable planning and meticulous execution, something usually goes awry. But what’s a fumbled word or an impatient fiance-to-be when you have love to fall back on? Margaret (Sandra Bullock) and Andrew (Ryan Reynolds) don’t have that luxury in Anne Fletcher (27 Dresses)-directed The Proposal, and a botched path to the altar means means one must leave the country — to the liberal netherworld of Canada. Theirs is a sham proposal, for sure; but the matter isn’t without a surprising degree of emotion. Like global warming kissing the Alaskan snow, your heart may reluctantly melt a little watching the matrimonial meanderings of Bullock and Reynolds. Solid writing and a genuine, convivial dynamic between the pair turns the otherwise artificial affair into an unusually enjoyable romantic comedy.
