From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The first film trailer for the adaptation of DC Comics' Green Lantern, in 3D, starring Ryan Reynolds ( The Proposal, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), was released November 16.
The film by director Martin Campbell ( Casino Royale) also stars Blake Lively ( The Town), Peter Sarsgaard ( An Education), and Tim Robbins ( Mystic River).
The sci-fi action-adventure centers on Hal Jordan, a test pilot transformed into a superhero with a powerful green ring given to him mysteriously to join an intergalactic squadron of peacekeepers.
The footage reveals Reynolds in the CGI emerald uniform created by Kent Houston, who handled the visual effects for The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen and Casino Royale.
Interspersed with witty banter, the furiously paced trailer covers a lot of ground, from Hal's ejection from a fighter jet and encounter with Abin Sur, who passes on the ring, to the introduction of Sinestro and Dr. Hector Hammond.
The Green Lantern gets thrust into tough situations, faces his fear, and triumphs, reciting his vow: "In brightest day, in darkest night..."
The film is scheduled to hit theaters in 3D and 2D on June 17, 2011.
This international version of the trailer includes English voiceovers with Spanish language subtitles:
