We brought you the first trailer for director Martin Campbell‘s big-screen adaptation of the Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds just last week. The trailer did give us a couple of glimpses of GL’s nemesis, Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) but, it didn’t offer a look at the film’s other villain, Parallax.
According to the DC Wikia, Parallax is the physical embodiment of fear, an entity given power by the emotional electromagnetic spectrum. In the film, Parallax is rumored to not just feed off of fear, but rip the souls out of it’s victims; leaving dried “husks” of the corpses.
Now, thanks to DailyBlam we have what is reportedly our first look at the infamous Parallax in the film. The image was scanned from a one-sheet poster from one of the next issues of the Green Lantern comic book series. Check it out below!
Synopsis:
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.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
Green Lantern, directed by Martin Campbell and starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Temuera Morrison, Jenna Craig, Jon Tenney and Tim Robbins is slated to hit theaters on June 17th, 2011.
