synopsis was created and disseminated by our office on behalf of Time Warner.”
"Bringing the enduringly popular superhero to the big screen for the first time", Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds [X-Men Origins: Wolverine] in the title role, under the direction of Martin Campbell [Casino Royale]. In a Universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns
have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite
powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the
puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing
no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement
of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if
Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome
his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he
will become the greatest Green Lantern of all. Campbell directs Green Lantern from a screenplay by Greg
Berlanti & Michael Green & Marc Guggenheim and Michael
Goldenberg, story by Greg Berlanti & Michael Green & Marc
Guggenheim, based upon characters appearing in comic books published by
DC Comics. The film also stars Blake Lively [The Town, TV’s Gossip Girl] as the spirited Carol Ferris, a test pilot and the heir

Lantern Corps; Jay O. Sanders [Revolutionary Road] as Carl Ferris,
Carol’s aircraft designer dad; Temuera Morrison [Star Wars: Episodes II
and III] as Abin Sur, Jordan’s alien predecessor; Taika Waititi [TV’s The Flight of the Conchords] as flight navigator Tom Kalmaku, Hal’s
good friend and confidante; Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett [What’s Love Got to Do with It] as enigmatic government scientist
Amanda Waller; and Academy Award® winner Tim Robbins [Mystic River] as
Hector’s influential father, Senator Robert Hammond.
The film is being produced by Donald De Line [The Italian
Job] and Greg Berlanti [upcoming Life As We Know It]. Herbert W.
