Green Lantern Special Effects Work Delays Marketing Campaign




Green Lantern's marketing campaign delayed by 3D visual effects work

With just three months left to go before its theatrical release, many are wondering why we've only seen one Green Lantern teaser trailer this close in, and not much else. Turns out, director Martin Campbell's highly anticipated DC comics adaptation starring Ryan Reynolds is having its marketing campaign delayed by the massive Visual and Special effects work needed to finish the movie.

Warner Bros. has also been apprehensive about launching their second trailer, as the first teaser was poorly received by the filmgoing public at large. More specifically, by that all-important 18-35 demographic that most frequents comic book movies. Warner Bros. has all of its hopes pinned on Green Lantern becoming their next tentpole franchise after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 brings that series to a close this summer.

The superhero adventure, shot for close to $ 200 million, is rushing to be completed by its set-in-stone June 17th release date. But Green Lantern's intricate 3D visual effects, which has about 2/3's of the movie taking place in space with detailed alien life forms providing most of the character work, are taking longer than anyone had anticipated at the forefront of production.

While Warner Bros. is previewing certain "elements" of Green Lantern at both CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, and at WonderCon in San Francisco, we won't see the full trailer until May 6th, when it will arrive in theaters attached to prints of Thor.

Warner Bros. worldwide Marketing president Sue Kroll has acknowledged that fans awaiting the first teaser were severely disappointed at what they eventually saw unspool. She is adamant that this won't happen again.

"Part of the reason the response to the first trailer was lukewarm was that the big-scale sequences weren't ready to show, and we suffered for it. We can't afford to do that again."

Warner Bros. remains optimistic that the finished movie will be both a critical and financial success.

Green Lantern comes to theaters June 17th, 2011 and stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Temuera Morrison, Jenna Craig, Jon Tenney, Tim Robbins. The film is directed by Martin Campbell.

Thor comes to theaters May 6th, 2011 and stars Natalie Portman, Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Hopkins, Kat Dennings, Stellan Skarsgård, Ray Stevenson, Jaimie Alexander. The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh.

Arthur Poster

In this fresh new look at a classic story, Russell Brand reinvents the role of loveable billionaire Arthur Bach, an irresponsible charmer who has always relied on two things to get by: his limitless fortune and the good sense of his lifelong nanny and best friend Hobson (Helen Mirren), to keep him out of trouble.

Kind-hearted, fun-loving, and utterly without purpose, Arthur spends every day in the heedless pursuit of amusement. But when his unpredictable public image threatens the staid reputation of the family foundation, Bach Worldwide, he is given an ultimatum: marry the beautiful but decidedly unlovable Susan Johnson (Jennifer Garner), an ambitious corporate exec who can keep him in line, or say goodbye to his billion-dollar inheritance and the only way of life he knows.

It's a deal Arthur would be inclined to take...if he hadn't just fallen for Naomi (Greta Gerwig), a New York City tour guide who shares his idealism and spontaneity. The independent Naomi sees Arthur not only for who he is, but for who he could be, and finally gives him a reason to take charge of his own life.

All he needs to do is stand up for what he wants. But at what cost? With some unconventional help from Hobson-the one person who always believed he could do anything-Arthur will take the most expensive risk of his life and learn what it means to become a man.

Directed by Jason Winer (TV's "Modern Family"), the romantic comedy Arthur also stars Luis Guzmán as Arthur's driver, Bitterman, always up for an adventure; and Nick Nolte as Susan's fearsome father, Burt, who will do whatever it takes to make his little girl happy.

The screenplay is by Peter Baynham, story by Steve Gordon. Arthur is produced by Larry Brezner, Kevin McCormick, Chris Bender and Michael Tadross. J.C. Spink, Scott Kroopf, Russell Brand and Nik Linnen serve as executive producers.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Kevin McCormick / MBST Entertainment / Benderspink Production, Arthur, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. It is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for alcohol use throughout, sexual content, language and some drug references.
