The red-band trailer and poster just hit for The Change-Up, which comes from Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin (don’t tell anyone he directed Fred Claus) and The Hangover writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (don’t tell anyone they wrote Four Christmases and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past). It stars Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds as two buds who mysteriously switch bodies while peeing together in a magical fountain one night.  Under the circumstances, I would’ve called it Body Swap Piss Fountain, but Hot Tub Time Machine bombed, so what do I know.   Anyway, Bateman plays a boring handsome married dude, while Reynolds plays a handsome exciting womanizer.  They switch bodies, and wouldn’t you know it, discover that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.  The trailer is distinguished by its multiple poop scenes.

DC just released three new images of Ryan Reynolds in his Green Lantern costume (or, more accurately, two-thirds of Ryan Reynolds’ face grafted onto some Green Lantern CGI).  Lantern opens June 17th (latest trailer after the jump), starring such-a-sweet-boy Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaaaaåaååøøård, Mark Strong, and Tim Robbins, with direction by Martin Campbell. 

The suit looks… uh… good?  I guess?  I like all the people involved in this, and I’m trying not to be unnecessarily dismissive, but if I’m being honest, I can think of at least 10 things I give more of a sh-t about than this movie, and nine of them involve possible lunch food. OOH HELP US, RYAN REYNOLDS, SAVE THE UNIVERSE WITH YOUR GREEN JIZZ-FOG RING!

In conjunction with the release of Green Lantern #61, DC has included an exclusive glimpse at Tomar-Re from the upcoming Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds.  Tomar-Re is apparently a member of the Green Lantern Corps.  I’m not going to pretend I know much about Green Lantern, but I can tell you that Tomar-Re roughly translates to “To take Re” in Spanish.

“Growing up on the planet Xudar, Tomar-Re comes from a peaceful avian race that focuses their efforts on the arts and sciences instead of war,” explains DC writer and Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns in the accompanying text, “His nature to examine everything has led the Guardians of the Universe to appoint him the archivist and protector of the sacred Book of Oa. When not studying the nature of the Corps, Tomar-Re patrols the sector of 2813 where he developed a close friendship with neighboring sector 2814′s Green Lantern, Abin Sur. Tomar has taken an interest in Abin’s replacement, Hal Jordan. Though Hal is not one for details, Tomar hopes to teach Hal what it means to be a Green Lantern.” [Daily Blam via ComingSoon]

Anyone else think “green lantern” would be a pretty good name for a bong? (*takes puff of inhaler*) Anyway, very fascinating.  Wait, did you say Avian race?  That’s strange, I would’ve pegged him as a sea creature.  All I know is, if I had gills, I’d spend a lot of time watching Ryan Reynolds swim.

Lol wut?

The trailer for Martin Campbell’s Green Lantern has leaked a little early, but that’s nothing to hold against it.  What are you, my girlfriend?  Anyway, it starts out with Ryan Reynolds playing Hal Jordan, just your average Joe.  You know the type: hot-shot, womanizing ne’er-do-well fighter pilot with a suspiciously-hot female superior who’s always telling him to get it together.  If you’ve met one, you’ve met them all.  He may be a litte rough around the edges, but he’s gotta look good if he’s ever going to get a space alien to put a ring on it, so he takes his shirt off a lot.

"Why Grandma, what a bulgy codpiece you have!"

Tomorrow, Entertainment Tonight will have a full set visit with DC’s Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds, directed by Martin Campbell.  In the meantime, they made a short teaser for the segment featuring some of the first footage from the film.  Perhaps knowing that Entertainment Tonight viewers and fanboys desperate for the latest Green Lantern footage is a Venn diagram that looks like two separate circles, Ryan Reynolds takes his clothes off a lot.  Not that I’m complaining.  I honestly think it’s gayer NOT to want to see Ryan Reynolds with his shirt off.
