Exclusive Green Lantern Footage To Screen At Kapow! This Weekend

This weekend’s Kapow! comic convention is going to be great. It’s already packed with events, Q&A panels and an assortment of fine things but now it’s been announced film fans will be treated to some exclusive footage from Ryan Reynolds flick Green Lantern.

We all know the debut trailer from a little underwhelming but it looks like Warner Bros. and director Martin Campbell have been beavering away on this to make it something exciting. Comic book flicks are ten-a-penny these days and Green Lantern needs to stand out.

Press release:

“Just when you thought Kapow! couldn’t get any hotter, the Green Lantern footage gets announced. The UK premiere of Emerald Knights, plus footage from the Green Lantern film never before seen in the UK is certainly
something that will make the weekend, if not the year, for all Green Lantern fans.

Kapow! which is bringing the US Comic Convention experience to London is taking place at the Business Design Centre in Islington over the weekend of 9th & 10th April. This is one event that will leave all attendees counting down the days to Kapow! 2012. Tickets are only available in advance, and can’t be purchased on the door www.kapowcomiccon.com

Emerald Knights, which features six interwoven stories including some of Green Lantern’s greatest characters, is only available in the UK on 7th June 2011 on Blu-Ray so this is a real exclusive to shout about. In addition to this UK premiere, Kapow! will also be showing UK exclusive unseen footage from the upcoming blockbuster Green Lantern. This is footage you simply cannot miss!

Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) in the title role and Blake Lively (The Town, Gossip Girl) and directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) will be released in cinemas nationwide in both 2D
and 3D on June 17th. In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.”
