We talked about Fan Films on one of the previous Major Spoilers Podcasts, and I’m always amazed at what fans can put together when given enough time and passion.
This trailer for a never to be made Green Lantern film has Nathan Fillion playing Hal Jordan, and if the final movie is half as good as this trailer, then I’ll be happy.
Take the jump for a breakdown of shots.
This is my vision for a Green Lantern movie with Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan. He won’t be Hal for real, but all the more reason for a fan trailer!

I love the includence of Ch’p and especially the “Sounds like some superhero, ‘Captain Tightpants’ bulls**t to me” line (from White Noise 2). Fits perfectly for the theme of the story.
Wow, that was great!
HAHA that was actually pretty great.
Probably the best faux-trailer I’ve seen in a long, long time.
For the actual movie… I expect nothing less than this. They had better deliver… because this trailer sure did. Awesome work.
Awesome!
That was fantastic…unfortunately they will probably have some dilweed in charge of the film, instead of someone who actually knows how to pull things off like this trailers creator. Its guys like this who should have a crack at hollywood. That was great.
(In a Peter Griffin voice) That was … AWESOME!
Where/how did they pull in the “other lanterns”? I am pretty sure the squirrel was from one of the Narnia movies.
Sign me up!!
That was awesome.
Why can’t Hollywood do this kind of thing more often. They had a great animated series in Speed Racer, threw the Wachowski Bros at it and failed miserably.
Yep…that was cool.
That was cool! I’de pay 20$ to watch that movie.
In a way, making something that looks this good from other, often unrelated resources is even more creative than simply shooting actors on a green screen. If I saw this trailer in the theater, I would totally watch it again when I got home.
I had the hardest time convincing my girlfriend that this wasn’t going to be a real film and that a fan made it. She was really surprised and said she would actually go and see it, and she doesn’t even share my (our) love for comic books!
O My Sweet good Land You are such a %#%&$#@$%& I thought for a Min DAMN
argh Why why could that not be real He would make a great Hal Jordon
