A third Green Lantern movie trailer has been released, and it is by far the best they have released yet.
Perhaps it seems someone finally told the marketing department that they needed to explain the concept of the Green Lantern Crops a bit more to people not familiar with the comic book. Employing the dulcet tones of Geoffrey Rush as Tomar-Re, one of my favorite members of the Corps, this trailer gives everyone a crash course in the lore of the character.
For existing fans of the series, we get some fan service as well in that we get to see a few more ring constructs, and if you look closely at the 2:35 mark, you can see something that closely resembles the symbol of the Yellow Lantern Corps from the comic books in the flames. It’s not exact, but it definitely gives hints to a future storyline … if you know what I mean.
This trailer gives me far more hope than any of the other footage I’ve seen because it finally tells me they are honoring the storyline at least even if some of their design choices aren’t.
We’ll just have to wait another month to see how it really is, but my hopes are starting to rise, and that may not be the best thing as the last thing I want to have happen is to have them crushed.
It would appear the marketing machine for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is in full effect now. We had the first pictures the other day, and now we’re on to the first trailer.
While I’m not big on never ending sequels these days, I have to say that this fourth Pirates of the Caribbean is looking pretty promising to me. The trailer certainly hints at some fresh ideas coming into the series with Barbossa looking to work for the crown, Blackbeard showing up, and, oh yeah, mermaids. That could be interesting.
We’ll see how good the movie is, but for now you can consider my interest definitely captured.
There’s no stopping Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides at this point, so you might as well get used to the idea that on May 20th, 2011, it’s hitting theaters.
The fourth film in the series sees Capt. Sparrow (Johnny Depp) racing towards the Fountain of Youth with Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and Blackbeard (Ian McShane) trying to beat him to it. Penélope Cruz also joins the cast as Blackbeard’s daughter, Angelica, a rumored love interest for Sparrow.
Despite questions if this movie should even be made, I have to say these images are getting me excited for another journey with Capt. Jack and crew.
Are you ready for another outing with Captain Jack Sparrow?
Disney is currently hosting its first ever official convention in Anaheim, CA, the D23 convention. 5,000 lucky fans were surprised today by Johnny Depp being wheeled out on stage in full Jack sparrow costume, riding upon a replica of the Black Pearl. According to the Los Angeles Times, Mr. Depp stayed in character the entire time, and made jokes about eating Kermit the Frog, who had been on stage earlier, and how he imagines that he “tastes of chicken.”
The whole reason for his appearance was to announce that the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film not only has a title now, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, but a release date which has been set for summer 2011.
According to The Geek Files, the title may give away the plot as there was a pirate story called On Stranger Tides that Disney bought the rights to. The story deals with pirates arriving in the newly founded New Orleans and then looking for the legendary Fountain of Youth. Rumors had been that the fourth movie would deal with Sparrow and Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush) following a similar story, so it looks like we know the plot.
Sadly, Gore Verbinksi, whom directed the first three films has been replaced by Rob Marshall. I am not overly familiar with Mr. Marshall’s work, but hopefully he won’t change the over all look of the series that much, but I’m willing to give him a fair shake.
So, what say you, are you ready for another adventure with Jack Sparrow?
