Blake Lively Interview For ‘Green Lantern’
Jun 9th
Bringing the enduringly popular superhero to the big screen for the first time, ‘Green Lantern’ stars Ryan Reynolds (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, under the direction of Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”). 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. Alongside Ryan Reynolds the film stars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Jon Tenney, Geoffrey Rush, Tim Robbins, Angela Bassett and Michael Clarke Duncan. Check out what Blake Lively had to say about the film below, she stars as Carol Ferris, the vice president of Ferris Aircraft and a long-time love interest of Hal Jordan. ‘Green Lantern’ is in cinemas June 17th.
How Green Lantern savvy were you before you got the role?
Blake Lively: I had never actually heard of Green Lantern, which I think was really exciting. It’s such a terrific comic, he’s such a wonderful superhero because he is very human, he’s not a “super man.” And he doesn’t want this responsibility, I think he’s a lot easier to relate in a lot of ways because he’s very flawed. When I heard about the comics I thought OK this could either be REALLY awesome, or it could go REALLY wrong (laughs) – a guy with a magical ring. But the possibilities are infinite, he can project anything he wants from this ring. The fact that he doesn’t want this responsibility and he’s also a bit of a hero in real life, he’s a fighter pilot, and so is Carol, they’re real life heroes, which almost overshadows the heroes that they are in this supernatural world. It was exciting because you get to introduce a beloved comic to a whole new generation. It’s pretty cool.

New TV Spot For ‘The Change-Up’ – Starring Ryan Reynolds, Olivia Wilde & Jason Bateman
Jun 4th
Universal Pictures have liberated this debut TV spot for the upcoming body-switching comedy ‘The Change-Up.’ For me body-switching comedies generally receive the verbal equivalent of a shrug of the shoulders – meh. Fingers crossed ‘The Change-Up’ is one of the few, VERY few, good ones. The film centres on a married man (played by Jason Bateman) who switches bodies with his lazy, slacker best friend (played by Ryan Reynolds) in order to woo his co-worker (Olivia Wilde). The comedy hits cinemas August 5th and is directed by David Dobkin.
Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman star in The Change-Up, from director David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers), writers Jon Lucas & Scott Moore (The Hangover) and producer Neal Moritz (Fast & Furious, Click). The R-rated comedy takes the traditional body-switching movie, ties it up tightly and throws it off a cliff. Growing up together, Mitch (Reynolds) and Dave (Bateman) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they’ve slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch’s stress free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true.
