One of the most iconic moments in "Green Lantern" lore is the pivotal scene in which a dying Abin Sur gives Hal Jordan his power ring and effectively deputizes him as a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
And while director Martin Campbell's upcoming adaptation has only been filming for a month, the scene has already been shot according to "Green Lantern" and "Blackest Night" writer, Geoff Johns.
"The movie looks fantastic," said Johns during an interview with Comic Book Resources. "I'm heading back down to New Orleans in a few weeks, but I just watched the Abin Sur/Hal Jordan dailies, and it's amazing seeing that ring passed to Hal in live action. Abin Sur looks kick-ass."
"And Ryan Reynolds is a perfect Hal Jordan," added Johns. "He brings a lot of humor to it, but he also has the humanity that Hal has. And a little bit of the arrogance, so it's a great match."
Last month, Temuera Morrison ("Star Wars Episode II: Attack of The Clones") was signed to portray Abin Sur, joining a cast that includes Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, Mark Strong as Sinestro, Blake Lively as Carol Ferris, Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond and Angela Bassett as Amanda Waller.
Johns also offered his praise for the film's visual production and designs.
"They did such a great job," related Johns. "They've got Grant [Major] as a production designer. He's from 'Lord of the Rings,' and the visuals on this film are nothing like you could imagine. It's definitely a Green Lantern fan's dream. For me, it's kind of insane to see this stuff come to life."
When asked about other potential DC superhero films, Johns replied "I can't get into the exact DC slate right now, but we're all working heavily on what that is with Warner Bros. and there will be news forthcoming. But, you can bet there is going to be a lot more than there is right now."
