The article fails to make clear whether the film will be released on 3-D screens only or in 2-D as well. I have heard both stories from multiple sources. It would be nice if we could find some reliable sourcing for this. 74.243.188.205 ( talk) 08:40, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
When the film enters principal photography this would be the correct name space to place the article. However until then the article fails notability guidlines and should be redirected to Green Lantern in other media#Film. - TriiipleThreat ( talk) 20:13, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
The citation caption for the plot summary seems kinda snarky. You may well say that an upcoming movie about Superman will need citation if the plot is decribed as "A movie about Superman". 71.97.59.52 ( talk) 22:57, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Is this even confirmed as the official GL poster? I went to the site listed at the bottom, and rather than giving me anything related to this film, it redirected me to WB's site for the animated Green Lantern: First Flight DTV. I'd say this poster is a fan manip, and until we can prove otherwise, we should delete it.

As Jhenderson777 pointed out point the source for the current picture explains itself. It is the logo for the film that was revealed along with the annoucment of a liscensing agreement with Mattel for a toyline. It is not a logo for the toyline.
Also per Non-free use rationale guidelines the EW cover cannot be used in the article's infobox as magazine covers can only be used for critical commentary in the magazine's article. Besides the image is representative of only the character not the film.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 20:12, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Any idea where Mark Strong's comments that the Hal Jordan character was based on Errol Flynn came from? The USA Today article in the citation quotes him as saying (correctly) that Hal was based on Paul Newman. The article makes no mention of Flynn, nor of Flynn and David Niven having been roommates (which is true, though irrelevant). Was the USA Today article altered after it was cited here, or did this misinformation come from somewhere else? WaxTadpole ( talk) 22:50, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
I've removed the bit about Carol Ferris' "ultimately" becoming the Star Sapphire from the article three times now. Yes, a citation has been provided for the info, but the larger question - and to my mind, the far ore important one - is if it is necessary to the article. As Ferris doesn't become the Star Sapphire during the course of the film (and if she did, there'd better be a big bucket of citations to back that up), we don't need it. If the readers want to know more about Ferris, they can follow the link to the article on her. - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 21:11, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Ahh, I see now. I stand corrected somewhat. I had indeed missed that section, tucked 'way down at the bottom there. While citation #60 cannot be used (it's a non-industry blog, and therefore naught but Rumour Central), the other two are good, solid references. That solves the problem of the sequel.
What that doesn't cover is the content of the sequels, Triiiple. We don't know - apart from spitballing from Strong and Lively - that their characters are going to be in the sequels. They are in essence, showing that they would be excited about being involved in such a project (read: getting hired for such a gig). Any such comments about the ephemeral sequel shouldn't be in the cast stuff. - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 21:44, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

In the plot summary, it describes Parallax's origin twice. I think once is enough, and shortening the second one so it seems a lot less repetitive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.75.125 ( talk) 16:19, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Acefarrukh, thank you for your contributions to this section however they did require a little clean-up. I added full cites and removed the repetitive wording, you do not have to add "gave a negative review" after every review. The paragraphs are structured between positive and negative and reviews themselves are clear if they are favorable or not.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 14:25, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
I also added a second positive review and removed a less notable negative review. This does not change the article's neutral point of view. This section will continue to evolve as more reputable and recognizable reviews are added and expanded.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 14:33, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

In watching the film this evening, I could swear that some of the city-scenes were in San Diego.

Is it too early to call this a box office flop/bomb? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.229.18.233 ( talk) 05:02, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Is there an agreed upon (in a policy statement somewhere), neutral Wiki definition of "flop?" I haven't heard anybody quote one yet. If there isn't one yet, let me submit this for your consideration: The various definitions at Dictionary.com say a flop is a film that is a "failure" or a "complete failure." Should not earning back the entire cost of production ($200 million in Green Lantern's case) be Wikipedia's standard for judging a film as a failure? Scott Bowles, movie critic at USA Today, points out, "None of the movies (i.e., X-Men, Thor, and Green Lantern) has taken in less than $100 million (often enough to justify a sequel), but none has made back its production budget, either."
Perhaps we should use the movie industry's standard and consider films earning less than $100 million a "flop." At any rate, I'd like to see a neutral, agreed definition for use in Wiki movie articles so it won't be just a subjective judgement call. Pleonic ( talk) 01:35, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
People continue to take it upon themselves to call Green Lantern a "box office bomb" or a "flop." However as of this date it is within $7 million of making back its production costs, has just opened in several foreign markets and has yet to come out on DVD. It is also currently the 16th biggest money maker in the US this year. The "flop" and "biggest bomb of the year" pejoratives are undeserved to say the least given these stats, and have been repeatedly removed by Wiki editors. Please see the earlier discussions. If someone feels strongly that this or any film is a bomb, please get a recognized source to say so for you. And, in the interests of the Neutral Point of View see if any opposing viewpoints are out there as well. Pleonic ( talk) 02:19, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm trying to reach a consensus on this series of editsand would appreciate some input. The statement, comparing gross to production budget is misleading, has no bearing on success on any level, and the statement uses box office mojo as a reference, which includes no analysis to back it up. -- Williamsburgland ( talk) 22:31, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
I've never heard anything about Kevin Smith being approached for a Green Lantern film; he did, however, once write a script for a Green Hornet film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.15.195.235 ( talk) 22:11, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you, that source clarifies things, however,There is a difference between the film being developed 'as a vehicle for writer/director Kevin Smith' and 'Kevin Smith was once approached to do a script'; in Smith's own words from the cited source "GREEN LANTERN only came up once in a discussion with Lorenzo DiBonaventura, I think I was just finished working on SUPERMAN and he thought maybe we could work on another DC comic. He said “How about Green Lantern? Do you think Green Lantern would make a good movie?” I said “I guess under somebody else, but I’m just not a huge Green Lantern fan, and I don’t think I’m the guy you want adapting it. I’m sure there are people out there who are massive fans and who really know a lot about the character. Maybe those are they guys you should be going after and not me." So, maybe the later stuff can stay, just take out the part about it 'being developed as a vehicle' for him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.15.195.235 ( talk) 02:42, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

says it made 206 mill, som1 add it as its locked and i cannot — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.222.244.247 ( talk) 05:31, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
I don't disagree with this point, but changed the wording because it sounded clumsy to say "it made $219 million" in 2 consecutive sentences. As it now stands $200 is clearly said to be just the production budget and this is embedded in the larger point that they'd need to make at least $500 million to be profitable. The information about a $100 million marketing budget is made in the Marketing section, where it belongs. Pleonic ( talk) 01:37, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
There seems to be confusion over how much money the movie lost. The budget was $200 million not counting advertising and promotion. But some of that was offset by millions in product placement (the Man of Steel movie made about $160 million in product placement for example). And by a very large tax credit for filming the movie in the state of Louisiana (originally believed to be $34 million of the original $150 million dollar budget). Dvd sales also helped to offset the losses by millions more. If it had kept it's original budget, the movie would have most likely broke even. But instead lost tens of millions by going over budget and due to poor marketing. The Man of Steel movie didn't have those problems due to all the product placement and tax credits basically paying for over 80% of the production budget. So the brand could easily make it's money back without any difficulty at all. 98.19.73.216 ( talk) 21:56, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to write this in to the current text about a possible sequel but according to this source, Warner Brothers is considering abandoning the idea of the sequel. http://news.yahoo.com/hollywood-balks-big-budget-movies-dvds-drop-141507203.html -- Mjrmtg ( talk) 15:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
No production has yet to occur of Green Lantern 2, but they have some ideas and hope that maybe in the next 2 years it will get approved and they can start right away. Ryan Reynolds has yet to establish to the public if he is even interested in starring in a sequel since the original didn't do well in the box office.

Following its release, Green Lantern seems to achieve some sort of cult following. Since then, I've seen people wearing shirts with the Green Lantern logo on it. Even one of the cast of The Big Bang Theory is wearing such a shirt. 173.55.97.103 ( talk) 15:10, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

And, in the interests of the Neutral Point of View see if any opposing viewpoints are out there as well. Pleonic ( talk) 02:19, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm trying to reach a consensus on this series of editsand would appreciate some input. The statement, comparing gross to production budget is misleading, has no bearing on success on any level, and the statement uses box office mojo as a reference, which includes no analysis to back it up. -- Williamsburgland ( talk) 22:31, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
I've never heard anything about Kevin Smith being approached for a Green Lantern film; he did, however, once write a script for a Green Hornet film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.15.195.235 ( talk) 22:11, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you, that source clarifies things, however,There is a difference between the film being developed 'as a vehicle for writer/director Kevin Smith' and 'Kevin Smith was once approached to do a script'; in Smith's own words from the cited source "GREEN LANTERN only came up once in a discussion with Lorenzo DiBonaventura, I think I was just finished working on SUPERMAN and he thought maybe we could work on another DC comic. He said “How about Green Lantern? Do you think Green Lantern would make a good movie?” I said “I guess under somebody else, but I’m just not a huge Green Lantern fan, and I don’t think I’m the guy you want adapting it. I’m sure there are people out there who are massive fans and who really know a lot about the character. Maybe those are they guys you should be going after and not me." So, maybe the later stuff can stay, just take out the part about it 'being developed as a vehicle' for him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.15.195.235 ( talk) 02:42, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

says it made 206 mill, som1 add it as its locked and i cannot — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.222.244.247 ( talk) 05:31, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
I don't disagree with this point, but changed the wording because it sounded clumsy to say "it made $219 million" in 2 consecutive sentences. As it now stands $200 is clearly said to be just the production budget and this is embedded in the larger point that they'd need to make at least $500 million to be profitable. The information about a $100 million marketing budget is made in the Marketing section, where it belongs. Pleonic ( talk) 01:37, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
There seems to be confusion over how much money the movie lost. The budget was $200 million not counting advertising and promotion. But some of that was offset by millions in product placement (the Man of Steel movie made about $160 million in product placement for example). And by a very large tax credit for filming the movie in the state of Louisiana (originally believed to be $34 million of the original $150 million dollar budget). Dvd sales also helped to offset the losses by millions more. If it had kept it's original budget, the movie would have most likely broke even. But instead lost tens of millions by going over budget and due to poor marketing. The Man of Steel movie didn't have those problems due to all the product placement and tax credits basically paying for over 80% of the production budget. So the brand could easily make it's money back without any difficulty at all. 98.19.73.216 ( talk) 21:56, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to write this in to the current text about a possible sequel but according to this source, Warner Brothers is considering abandoning the idea of the sequel. http://news.yahoo.com/hollywood-balks-big-budget-movies-dvds-drop-141507203.html -- Mjrmtg ( talk) 15:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
No production has yet to occur of Green Lantern 2, but they have some ideas and hope that maybe in the next 2 years it will get approved and they can start right away. Ryan Reynolds has yet to establish to the public if he is even interested in starring in a sequel since the original didn't do well in the box office.

Following its release, Green Lantern seems to achieve some sort of cult following. Since then, I've seen people wearing shirts with the Green Lantern logo on it. Even one of the cast of The Big Bang Theory is wearing such a shirt. 173.55.97.103 ( talk) 15:10, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
