This is one hell of a fanfilm for a forthcoming Green Lantern movie. Not only is it a great nod to a great character, but its fun to pick out all the leveraged scenes from other movies. There's no small amount of additives from the authors, either, and it really showcases the best part of "fan" that fanfilms can be.

Now add the fact that there is not one but two actual GL pics on the way-- one Hollywood tentpole and one Animated DVD. But the "movie gumbo" trailer here is just another example of how the tools are in the hands of everyone. There are quite a few good examples out there and while they range from the amateurish to just shy of greenlighting a studio deal, there looks to be a little more pressure placed on those who hold the reigns on our genre-specific favorites.

The Hollywood live action GL has got Martin Campbell attached to direct, and I can't tell you how happy that makes me. It's likely they'll do right by casting the lead, but the above sure makes a case for Nathan Fillion!
