GREEN LANTERN Hires VFX Crew: Karen Goulekas, Kent Houston and Jim Berney

With Green Lantern heading into production in the coming months, Warner Bros. has hired the VFX supervisors that will bring him to life. According to Variety, Karen Goulekas (The Day After Tomorrow) Kent Houston (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) and Jim Berney (I Am Legend) will be the men in charge of making the effects look real. Also, the studio has hired Sony Pictures Imageworks as the lead visual effects studio on the film. They’ve previously done Watchmen and Superman Returns and both of those films looked great.

With the combined experience of the team WB has hired for their next big comic book movie, I’m very confident this thing is going to look great. Green Lantern is scheduled for release June 17, 2011 with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively as the leads.

27 January 2010 New Poster From Paris With Love Travolta + rocket launcher = wheeee!

Ah, Paris. City of lights! City of culture! City of a bald John Travolta blowing up everything in sight with a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher! At least, it is in From Paris With Love, the dement-looking new action film from Taken director Pierre Morel - and we have an exclusive look at the film's new UK poster here.

The story sees Jonathan Rhys Meyers play a low-level functionary at the US embassy who is paired with FBI Agent Charlie Wax (Travolta), in town to prevent a terrorist attack by means of lavish use of high explosives (we assume, from the trailer). With scant regard for traffic or seatbelt laws, the two proceed to get the job done (we're guessing).
