Earlier today, you read some words from "Green Lantern" star Mark Strong about the difficulty of taking part in the production of such an effects-heavy film. Only one "Green Lantern" trailer has been released so far, and while there are some standout moments, a fair number of fans criticized the apparently unfinished look of some of the visual effects on display.
According to Warner Bros boss Jeff Robinov, the effects team's huge workload is actually a big part of the reason why we haven't seen much in the way of promotional video content from the film yet.
"We are on a learning curve in getting 3-D materials and marketing materials on the same schedule," he told the Los Angeles Times.
Warner Bros. worldwide marketing president Sue Kroll actually goes as far as owning up to the initial trailer and the sour impression it left some people with: "Part of the reason the response to the first trailer was lukewarm was that the big-scale sequences weren't ready to show, and we suffered for it. We can't do that again."
Fortunately for fans who have been left wanting, more is promised to be coming soon. WB is showcasing new footage from the movie this week at CinemaCon in Las Vegas and over the weekend at WonderCon in San Francisco. Those who don't attend the conventions will have to wait just a little bit longer, as the second "Green Lantern" trailer will premiere in front of "Thor," which hits North America theaters on May 6.
What was your take on the first trailer? What do you hope to see in the next one? Let us know what you think in the comment section or on Twitter!
