Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for a “Green Lantern” movie, especially since that stupid idea of turning it into Jack Black’s version of “The Mask” went by the boards. But these photos…eh, most of them don’t do it for me. Which I grant is stupid since they’re either stills that have been cut down or are promotional photos. But I’m a nerd, we’re all nerds here, so let’s nerd out with our bagged and boarded complete run of “Emerald Twilight” out.
The mask on the costume looks like facepaint, and the hair is decidedly NOT Hal Jordan, although to be fair to any movie costume, we actually need to see it moving before we can decide whether or not it looks stupid. Granted, Angela Bassett as Amanda Waller gives me a huge nerd boner (can we have a “Suicide Squad” movie, Warners? Pretty, pretty please?), but even just from a promotional photo, you can tell Blake Lively is gonna suck as Carol Ferris. “Lively?” Who named her “Lively?” Even Megan Fox can communicate something in still photos beyond “I can has cheeseburger?”, and the idea of this waif playing Star Sapphire makes me cringe. What really stings is she was picked from a list that included Eva Green, Keri Russell, Diane Kruger, and Jennifer Garner. True, this movie probably will only feature Carol Ferris in a girlfriend/hostage role, but still, one has to plan ahead with these things.
But enough from me. All the new photos after the jump:

I’m not concerned about the hair, but the facepaint mask does bother me. I’m not thrilled about Blake Lively, either. I think Keri Russell would have been perfect. Good actress and gorgeous, in an approachable way.
It could be completely awful and I’ll still see it, because Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Reynolds.
I don’t think the mask is face paint, it’s just Photoshoped the edges on the bottom of the mask aren’t sharp. I’m thinking we haven’t seen what it will finally look like – unless they want it to look kind of face-painty. If so, then why not just paint the damn thing, and save some money and time in the CG area?
“Photoshoped – the edges” Sorry.
Punctuation iz are friendz! LOLZ!
Jesus H. Christ! They’re promo photos. I know this is a nerd by for nerds, by nerds. But this bit of pissing and moaning is pushing it.
And Blake Lively has a Lively set of tits. But apparently that does nothing for you. Obviously.
Lighten up Francis.
Eva Green has tits and CAN ACT. An actress having a great rack is not an excuse to cast her anymore. The Internet has given us more access to tits than at any other time in human history. So give me a hot actress, yes, but also give me one that’s talented.
Eva Green would have been such a better choice.
The Kato mask should really go back into the hair.
He looks freaking hot.
