Green Lantern To Film In September.

It looks like DC is finally getting off their asses and actually do something to finally bitch slapping they've been receiving from Marvel.

Reports are now coming in that Warner Bros. is scheduled to start filming The Green Lantern in mid-September in Australia.

Martin Campbell (Edge of Darkness) is attached to helm the film. The targeted release date is December 17th, 2010.

The "Green Lantern" was created in 1940 by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell. Hal Jordan introduced in 1959, a second-generation test pilot, is an ordinary man who was given the power ring and battery (lantern) by a dying alien named Abin Sur. When Abin Sur's spaceship crashed on Earth, the alien used his ring to seek out an individual to take his place as Green Lantern: someone who was "utterly honest and born without fear."

I'm glad to see that DC is finally starting to realize that they've actually got an army of superheroes they can use. DC films don't always have to be Superman and Batman. They've got The Flash, they've got Wonder Woman, and they've got Aquaman. All these characters have very strong selling power if you ask me. Marvel has recently gotten their shit together and are finally now giving fans some quality shit to satisfy their inner-geeks! Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk were the shit if you ask me! BUT, DC has managed to retaliate every now and then. They delivered the record-breaking film, The Dark Knight, and as well as the very successful Watchmen film. I'm glad Warner Bros has put The Green Lantern on the fast track! He's a character that I've always thought was cool! Though, I wonder who they've casted for the film. I find it a little odd that they haven't released those details.

Malin Akerman

Malin Åkerman has watched plenty of laid-back losers try to impress her with their cool. Smart women like her prefer a spark of curiosity. "It's like you have a zest for life," she says. "You're curious about people, things, the world. And that to me shows an open mind, someone you might want to explore the world alongside."

Åkerman plays Laurie Juspeczyk, a.k.a. Silk Spectre II, a hot-yet-very-human crime fighter in latex who kicks ass while trying to save the world, in Watchmen. Her character may be torn between quasihuman superhero Doctor Manhattan (Billy Crudup) and the brilliant, kind Nite Owl II (Patrick Wilson), but in reality, this model-turned-actress has found her mate. How'd he win her over? He listened—likely in addition to everything else on Åkerman's list of the keys to romantic success. Follow them for any chance of wooing a woman like her for yourself.

Malin's Tips:
• Be patient: "If you think a girl looks beautiful, tell her," she says. "She will see that you're being real. Let your comment be the opener, and if it turns into a conversation, then ask to buy her a drink."

• Act naturally: "Charm comes from being yourself. And if you're goofy, then that's just who you are, and you'll find your match with someone who is like that, too."

• Speak up: "Women get nervous in bed, just as men do," she says. "The best way to calm those nerves is to ask questions every step of the way. You can't please each other if you don't know what your partner likes, right?"

Watchmen Trailer #3:

Bottom Line:

Honestly, I'm still not 100% sold on this film just yet. I know that the graphic novel was really popular, and that its got a huge fan base. But as I watch the trailer, I don't feel the need to see it asap! Maybe you have to be a fan of the novel to really appreciate the trailers. BUT, I do consider myself to be a DC fan, so I will probably head to the theaters and check this out. Who knows, I might just end up enjoying the film, and eventually become a fan of The Watchmen. Let's wait and see....
