With Green Lantern heading into production in the coming months, Warner Bros. has hired the VFX supervisors that will bring him to life. According to Variety, Karen Goulekas (The Day After Tomorrow) Kent Houston (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) and Jim Berney (I Am Legend) will be the people in charge of making the effects look real. Also, the studio has hired Sony Pictures Imageworks as the lead visual effects studio on the film. They’ve previously done Watchmen and Superman Returns and both of those films looked great.
With the combined experience of the team WB has hired for their next big comic book movie, I’m very confident this thing is going to look great. Green Lantern is scheduled for release June 17, 2011 with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively as the leads.

Not that excited about this info because of some of the other movies these guys did. Green Lantern is a Star Wars type property that I was hoping would mean they would get ILM to do the special effects. While Watchman and Superman Returns had decent SFX, nothing really jumped out at me in either film. Also I AM Legend had some pretty weak effects. We shall see. This info doesn't excite me but it doesn't upset me either. Only time will tell whether Warners can take DC Comics' current most popular property (comic world not mainstream) and make a good film about it.
From article above – 'Karen Goulekas (The Day After Tomorrow) Kent Houston (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) and Jim Berney (I Am Legend) will be the men in charge' – Karen is not a man.
Superman Returns had terrible SFX in terms of flying take offs and flying landings. EX: the take off from the early sequence when supes lands the plane in the field. WHen he stands there as the crowd cheers and then he takes off = CRAPPY EFFECTS. The camera even knows it looks bad and decides to cut the scene quickly.
THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE AVATAR EFFECTS CO.'s
Thanks for catching that. Writing late at night on no sleep = mistakes. Just fixed it.
