Film and comic book fans – prepare for one of your “brightest days” of recent times. Footage for the Green Lantern has appeared on Entertainment Tonight.

Clocking in at a brief 30 seconds, there’s enough here to get  suitably excited about. Nice to see that the makers have retained Ryan Reynolds’ trademark humour (whose reactions here to the situation he’s found himself in are key in keeping the character grounded for an audience). The effects may look a little too CGI-y, but the makers obviously have many months yet to refine and amend.

The first full trailer is scheduled to appear before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (released in UK cinemas on 19th November) . Check out the footage below and let us know your thoughts.
