It’s not an easy thing to make a good movie trailer — to find the right clips and shots; the right music; and not give anything away in a two-minute span is really an unsung art form. Every once in a great while, a regular, everyday you or I loads up their editing program and puts together and creates a great trailer for a movie that technically doesn’t exist, thus showing that they could very well be the next great trailer-cutting master.
While on Twitter today, a one Mr. Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Slither) pointed out just such a trailer that someone had made. This trailer featured Fillion in the much-rumored role of Hal Jordan for the upcoming feature film version of Green Lantern. The trailer features some obvious pieces of other TV and movie titles, but with a little addition here and there, some good music, and an all-around well-edited sequence of shots, you have yourself an impressive new Green Lantern trailer! And when the man you choose and use in your fan-made trailer notices and loves it, then you know you’ve done a mighty damn fine job.

After seeing the Green Lantern trailer, I was reminded of another impressive fan-cut trailer for the BioShock movie that’s supposedly coming our way eventually. Both of these trailers can be seen below. Remember, these are not real; they’re strictly here for entertainment purposes and to show-off the skills of some talented undiscovered video editors.
I wonder if this will put Fillion in the running for the role that has had many rumored, but none 100% confirmed!
The Green Lantern trailer is amazing. Hearing the Green Lantern oath at the end underscored by the music of Two Steps from Hell from the STAR TREK trailer gives me goosebumps.
