Launching a film franchise in pajamas
WEST HOLLYWOOD - There is a lot at stake with "Green Lantern" - at least for its star, Ryan Reynolds, and Warner Brothers.
Until now Mr. Reynolds, 34, has been best known for light roles in romantic comedies like "Definitely, Maybe" and "The Proposal." Hollywood's leading-man club has been harder to crack. Mr. Reynolds had a supporting role in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," but an effort last year to build an entire film around him, the thriller "Buried," flopped. His most successful title role arguably remains "Van Wilder," a 2002 comedy.
"Green Lantern," which opens worldwide this summer, is this Canadian actor's full-bore effort to prove that he can anchor a summer blockbuster. And he must do it while wearing a silly mask and tights, and saying lines like: "Let those who worship evil's might beware my power."
"Oh, man, was I nervous about it," Mr. Reynolds said during a recent interview at the Sunset Tower Hotel here, adding that the pajamalike motion-capture suit he wore for much of the shoot was not exactly calming. "You want me to do what? And I'm supposed to do it in crash-test jammies?"
Warner is nervous too. Just as "Green Lantern" is an effort by Mr. Reynolds to redefine his career, the picture represents a bid by the studio to create a superhero franchise beyond Batman and Superman. Although they are both huge multiplex forces, with sequels forthcoming, Warner has tried and failed for years to bring the likes of Wonder Woman, the Flash, Justice League and Green Lantern to the screen. (Let's not even bring up "Catwoman.")
All the while Marvel Entertainment, now owned by the Walt Disney Company, has catapulted one comic book character after another onto the big screen, most impressively the lesser-known Iron Man, and now Thor.
"Green Lantern" is Warner's first superhero release since making management changes at DC last year and more deeply integrating it into the studio's development machinery.
The pressure is intense not only because of the Marvel rivalry: the Harry Potter franchise ends in July, and Warner's plan for replacing those riches turns squarely on DC characters.
And although fans now seem receptive to the $300 million "Lantern," an early trailer was poorly received.
"There is a lot at stake," said Jeff Robinov, Warner's top movie executive. But, he said, said "Batman Begins" "did about $370 million worldwide" and spawned a sequel," "The Dark Knight," which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office, plus DVD money.

During its latter half, the film uses Green Lantern/Jordan's repeated journeys between Earth and the faraway sector, 2814, as filler. Equally disappointing is Jordan's rekindled love affair with Carol who's now lost her spunk and is seemingly drained
