I don’t usually go in for fan-made trailers for films that’ll likely never get made, created using footage from their favorite totally-non-related movies…but this spot for a Green Lantern movie starring Nathan Fillion hits me in two sweet spots:
Sweet Spot #1: Nathan Fillion. My man-crush on Captain Tightpants is well-documented. I’ll watch anything the man is in. Mandi Bierly and I have weekly thumb-wrestling tourneys to decide who gets to wear the EW’s Biggest Filli-fan Ceremonial Hawaiian Shirt.
Sweet Spot #2: Michael Giacchino’s Star Trek score. Nothing I’ve heard in a good long while summons the same feeling of heroic grandeur/call of destiny.
I still stand by my "Brian Austin Green would be pretty rad as Hal Gordon" stance. But only if Nathan passes. Because I’m a loyal Browncoat, and that’s how we roll. Geek tirade over.
Any fan-created trailers float your boat? Anyone else you’d rather see as Hal Jordan? Anyone else you dig as much as I dig Nathan Fillion?
Nathan Fillion as the Green Lantern? I’m all in!
Ohmigod. That was amazing.
Absolutely Nathan Fillion for Green Lantern! I agree, I’ll watch anything this guy is in. He’s just amazing.
PS: Check out his latest tweet. He gives kudos to this fan-made trailer’s creator. Mad editing skills, man.
Sorry but 2/3rd of the trailer uses “Two Steps From Hell – Freedom Fighters” music and NOT Michael Giacchino’s Star Trek score. The same music WAS used in Star Trek Trailer #3.
I will DEFINITELY watch a Green Lantern movie with Nathan Fillion starring. I will watch any movie he heads up, especially a well-deserved hero pic. Even my husband says that he would make a perfect action star.
I’m sure I’m the biggest Nathan Fillion fan around. Bar none! I will also watch anything he’s in, anytime! Bring on Green Lantern!!
Heck No, Nathan Fillion will guarantee the movie will flop, he can not carry a movie, all his shows are flops
I like the guy but can’t picture him headlining a blockbuster yet…

Who do I have to bribe, kill, or kidnap to get Nathan Fillion cast as Hal Jordan?!
I would so see that. Nathan Fillion makes me all smiley.
Wow…so nice that comment at the top, from someone clearly a fan of that 90s flop Pump Up the Volume. Where is Christian Slater’s career again?
Nathan Fillion SHOULD be a big box office star. I’m for anything that gives him the chance, even though I’m not a fan of superhero movies in general. If there is anyone that could make me care about a cheesy superhero movie, it’s Fillion.
By the way, any Dr. Horrible fans should check out the panel at Paleyfest…it’s on iTunes for $1.99.
This just rocks my socks…I wasn’t really excited for Green Lantern as a movie until I saw this trailer..but Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern?? I’m in!
That was cool. I’m all in. Bring on Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan. No Chris Pine, no whimpy Bradly Cooper; just Fillion.
If there is a divine being who is watching over humanity with the best intentions, then Nathan Fillion will be Hal Jordan. Unfortunately, movie executives continue to make really horrible movies from beloved comics and degrade our favorite characters so we are screwed.
