Martin Campbell Talks Green Lantern Effects

Martin Campbell has revealed  details of the special effects for his upcoming film Green Lantern.


The helmer of such films as Casino Royale and Golden Eye told Empire magazine that they’ve got their work cut out in bringing the comic book to life.


“It’s daunting,” he said. “Just the process, something like 1,300 visual effects shots, it’s mind-blowing, quite honestly.”


Campbell said that a lot of the effects shots work will concentrate on the Green Lantern’s power ring. “It’s energized by a battery on the planet of Oa, which taps into the willpower of everyone in the universe. From that ring you can form constructs. So if you got into a fight, you could form a giant fist. Or a fighter plane.”


Ryan Reynolds will play the title role in the action-adventure, which will be released in summer 2011.
