Must-See: Brian Murray’s Wicked Green Lantern Concept Art

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on September 3, 2008

One movie that many a comic book fan is looking forward to is a big screen adaptation of Green Lantern. Much like Iron Man, the Green Lantern has been under the radar of mainstream audiences, but has an amazing fan following. And under the right circumstances, he too can rise out of cinematic ashes and become another great comic book movie franchise. The Green Lantern movie, which is being targeted for a 2010 release, is currently on the books with “Everwood” and “Eli Stone” creator Greg Berlanti attached to write and direct.

And in order to get the job, Berlanti had to give one hell of a pitch to Warner Bros., as his resume doesn’t exactly scream big budget comic book movie. As part of that pitch, Berlanti enlisted the help of illustrator Brian Murray, who drew up a sampling of concept art that helped Berlanti secure the project. Earlier today, Murray posted some of the concept art to his website, MurrayStudios.com. We’ve got a sampling for your viewing pleasure below.

Are you excited about a Green Lantern movie?

    Love the sense of majesty given to the middle panorama image, but hate the other two shown above. (What exactly is supposed to be going on in the top image, anyway? Is that "BAK" as in a sound effect, or is it a "BAR" sign? )
    The comic book tights-into-armor onscreen has become a cliche in superhero movies...Let's leave rubber out of the equation, too shall we? What if GL's "suit" is itself a layer of energy produced by the ring to protect the being wearing it? A seamless skin that covers Jordan's body, and that he can adapt using his will, such as to create the mask he needs to protect his identity when using his powers on earth. (The mask has no purpose when GL is offworld, where he can't be seen by other humans.)

    You pretty much described what was happening in that top panel...

    Why does it look like he's wearing a version of Pinhead's get up from Hellraiser in the last pic?

    The fanboy dream would be a GL movie written by Joss Whedon, directed by Guillermo del Toro, and staring Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan!

    Why is everyone keep putting up Nathan Filliol for the role, HE SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!! WHY DO YOU THINK HE IS ON TV? He cannot carry this movie, he is gonna kill it. You need somebody really good, like Downey Jr in Iron Man or Bale in Batman, someone who can make this valuable, otherwise you are gonna have another Batman and Robin. Why dont you think about someone with real talent like Matt Damon, Jude Law, or even Aaron Eckhart, he wants the role!!!!!!!!!
    Please, post real talented people for this role, even if you dont believe it, the people at Warner consider the blogs and you are putting up really poor actors, why do you think they are not making the movie with Jack Black. For a good movie you need people with talent. Please no more Nathan Filliol, I would even consider Daniel Day Lewis for the Sinestro character and Brad Pitt for Green Lantern, you need to think big, like Marvel is doing.
