• Martin Campbell Takes Over As Director Of James Cameron's 'The Dive'

    Back in 2008 and 2009 James Cameron talked here and there about directing The Dive, a film centered around the love between free divers Francisco “Pipin” Ferraras and his wife Audrey Mestre, and the record-setting attempt that claimed Mestre's life.

  • Expect 'Green Lantern 2' To Be Darker And Edgier Than The First

    Green Lantern had a reasonable (not great) opening weekend but was otherwise a creative and financial dud. It is an example of that strange studio phenomenon: a film that manages to feel both over-written, with villains and setpieces seemingly cobbled together from different script drafts, and under-scripted, thanks to the total lack of sense behind…

  • 'Green Lantern' – What Did You Think?

    I'm a huge fan of Martin Campbell. This is the guy who successfully rebooted the Bond franchise (twice), and brought a kickass version of Zorro to the big screen. A superhero film based on Green Lantern seemed like a bit of a stretch, but with Campbell's action sensibilities and his ability to portray characters broadly yet…

  • 'Green Lantern' 3D Trailer

    Why studios are releasing 3D trailers online and calling them "3D trailers" when we can't watch them in 3D is beyond me. Paramount did it earlier today with Transformers: Dark of the Moon and now Warner Bros. has done it with Green Lantern.

  • Full 'Green Lantern' Trailer Should Hit With 'Thor;' Marketing Delayed By Effects

    The first trailer for Martin Campbell's Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds, hit theaters in November and was mostly panned by fans and non-fans alike. Since then, we've seen an extensive amount of footage and promotional materials from competing summer superhero movies like Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and X-Men: First Class but Green Lantern,…

  • New Photo: Peter Sarsgaard And Ryan Reynolds In 'Green Lantern'

    Well, it's not quite Batman casting news, but here's a new 'walk and talk' photo from Green Lantern.Hardly the most exciting image in the world, but I'm running it because it serves as a reminder that Peter Sarsgaard is on hand playing Hector Hammond, one of the villains of the piece.

    Warner Bros has released the full movie trailer for Martin Campbell's big screen adaptation of DC Comics' Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, and Tim Robbins.
