Filming is well under way for the Green Lantern movie (probably nearing the end of the shoot) and it looks as if there will be a big battle at the end of the film – it is a comic book movie so that isn’t really a spoiler. There will be spoilers ahead though so tread carefully.
As we have known from the very beginning, there will be lots of action in space and that fits in well with the Green Lantern mythos. CBM have some details of a battle that takes place on Oa – that is the home planet of the Guardians (the people who run the Green Lanterns Corp).
- Filming took place at the New Orleans sound stages
- The scene was a fight between Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) and Parallax that starts on Earth (during the “mass panic” Farmer’s Market event), then travels to Oa (the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps)
- Parallax has a massive, insect-like body, with numerous “tentacles”
- Full color cut-outs were used as stand ins for Tomar Re (which stood 6’6 feet tall) and Kilowog (7′ feet tall)
- Though the body/facial structure is very similar, the suits for the alien Lantern Corps members don’t look like the ones depicted in the concept art leaked several months ago; they are not shiny and have an organic texture
- The Oan battle is fairly long and will be the penultimate scene in the movie
Warner Bros are so confident that this is going to do well that they are planning on shooting the sequel before the first film is released. No surprise that it will end up being a trilogy.
