‘Green Lantern’ Concept Art Reveals Alien Allies

Published by Jeff Leins on January 27, 2010

Martin Campbell is deep into casting on Green Lantern in preparation for a March shoot in New Orleans.  Ryan Reynolds is playing the title character, Blake Lively his love interest Carol Ferris, Peter Sarsgaard the villain Dr. Hector Hammond, and Mark Strong is in talks for Sinestro.

While we wait for paparazzi set pictures or official promotional images, a batch of cool concept art has surfaced on the Internet for a few unannounced supporting roles.  Cosmic Book News and the Green Lantern Corps. message boards (via /Film) scored early looks at possible designs for three other Green Lanterns.  These pictures are unconfirmed.

Kilowog (seen in the first two pictures below) is a brutish character that trains Hal Jordan (Reynolds) in ring combat, Abin Sur (the purplish guy) is the alien who passes the ring to Jordan, and Tomar-Re (the finned fellow) is another friend who helps in his intergalactic training.  Check out the concept art below.

Campbell has confirmed all three characters will appear in the film, but it’s important to note these are only concept pieces and may not reflect how the aliens actually look on screen.  A perfect example is the frightening concept art for the Joker in The Dark Knight.

Green Lantern is scheduled for theaters June 17, 2011.
