A very good friend of mine sent a link to this supposedly awesome Green Lantern movie teaser. Being a fan of GL, I promptly clicked to view the said trailer.

While watching the video, I immediately felt the usual and familiar hollywood flare. Then around halfway through, I realized where the familiarity was coming from… this one is actually a fan-made-trailer.

And quite a good one at that. Its really a well crafted combination of “technically modified” clips taken from previously released movies, TV shows and trailers. Some of the scenes I was able to recognize from the trailer are from:

• Firefly
• Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
• Planet of the Apes
• Dragonball Evolution Trailer
• The Day the Earth Stood Still
• Smallville
• GI Joe Trailer
• Contact
• Star Trek Enterprise
• Star Wars Episode III
• Iron Man
• Star Trek Trailer
• The Chronicles of Riddick
• Escape from Witch Mountain Trailer
• Matrix Revolutions
• The Chronicles of Narnia – Prince Caspian
• Superman Returns Trailer

Unfortunately, there really isn’t a movie about Green Lantern. Well, at least not yet. Rumors have it that maybe 2010 would be the year for one. But at this point, nothing is confirmed yet.

Not to take away anything from trailer creator (Jaron Pitts). But he did a very descent job of threading clips together and superimposing effects to have Nathan Fillion come out as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern. The only possible downside could be that most of the clips he used came from very popular scenes. This may tend to estrange some people once they recognize the original.
