Mark Strong Green Lantern Interview Video
One of these days people are really going to catch on to just how talented Mark Strong is, and then we'll see him starring in one of these buzzed-about films. Until then, Strong's fans have to be satisfied with his scene-stealing performances in big budget films (Sherlock Holmes, Syriana, Robin Hood). Green Lantern is the latest film to showcase his talents, however he doesn't look much like the Mark Strong we expect to see on screen. Strong plays Sinestro, one of the leaders of the Green Lantern Corps, and in this video interview provided by Warner Bros Pictures, he talks about his character, the story, and Sinestro's view of humans:
Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong, and Peter Sarsgaard, and is set to hit theaters on June 17, 2011.
Green Lantern Plot:
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 (Ryan Reynolds). 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 (Blake Lively), 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.
