The Green Lantern movie is going to be quite like the Thor movie in that both films take the superhero genre someplace it hasn’t really been in cinema: while Thor goes fantasy, Green Lantern will be going scifi. And for those worried that Green Lantern was going to be woefully Earthbound, new concept art that’s been popping up at io9* shows lots of aliens looking very alien.
First up we have the Guardians of the Universe, the little blue guys who are the bosses of the Green Lantern Corps. They live on the planet Oa, in the center of the galaxy. I like that this design adds some slightly weirder features to them; in the comics the Guardians are just essentially blue dwarfs.
And here’s a look at Kilowog, who was more or less Hal Jordan’s boot camp instructor in the comics. His art is interesting for a look at the costume design, mostly.
* what’s curious is that the art is still up at the site. Usually if this stuff was legit it would get pulled immediately. io9 says they’ve confirmed it as real, and maybe the leaks were purposeful on the part of Warner Bros, but it is worth taking the grain of salt approach with this stuff. In the last two weeks I’ve gotten two complete fake scripts, which means people are out there spending lots and lots of time coming up with weird hoaxes.

Wait, there are people spending their time writing complete fake script?!
I'm guessing there's probably a spec script (read: fan fiction) or two (or more) for every major comic book property out there. Geeks are notorious for having too much time on their hands, and I wouldn't put it past a select few to take their favorite properties seriously enough to plonk down 110 pages worth of their time on one. If there was a Martian Manhunter movie announced tomorrow I bet a handful of geeks would be forwarding their terrible specs all over the internet, trying to generate a buzz.
Glad to see that "alien" is still defined as "just like people, except blue!"
I remember when Kilowog was a scientist. I hated when they made him an alien drill instructor. Didn't like it when architect John Stewart suddenly became a Marine, either…
If they are in fact real, I love them. If they aren't real, good work on the part of some fan.
I'd tap that blue ass.
the blue dude kinda looks like Bob Newhart. Just sayin
Dumbest superhero ever! Ohhh magic gay ring lets me think of magic gay hammer to clobber villians with! This movie will be a failure even if Scorsese directed it. Dumb, dumb dumb.
Usually some internet troll pops up around now to post something on a topic he usually knows nothing about, whilst attempting to get the attention he's sorely lacking in real life. I'm surprised that it hasn't happened y…. oh wait. I'm too late.
"I like that this design adds some slightly weirder features to them; in the comics the Guardians are just essentially blue dwarfs." Yes, they look exactly like what the Na'vi look like when they get old and wear fishbowls on their heads. Just goes to show why you get so much shit Devin. I wonder why no one "trolls" David Oliver's stories… Maybe because he isn't a jackass?
Producer: "So who are these Guardian guys anyway?"
Art design: "Their kind of like the Jedi counsel. A bunch of short blue old guys"
Producer: "Like Yoda?"
Art design: "Yeah but blue."
Producer: "Lucas will sue the crap out of us for blue Yodas."
Art Design: "We could make them tall… With a see through second skull brain thing."
But the guardians should have REALLY REALLY big heads like in the comics. Then the GLs can play them like bongos and it'll be really funny.
They should give Kilowog gloves….everyone's cooler with gloves.
Funny thing is Jay's probably right.
this is going to be one of the finest superheroe movies ever made!!!!
