This ring could grant you guys any wish. I can make anything happen. What would you like to see happen?
Take off your clothes.
This is my skin.
That's my wish too.
We're done. What's up guys? Green Lantern here for Young Hollywood with Natasha Callis, Ole Bornell, and Jeffrey D Morgan. How's it going?
Really good.
Is it Ole or Ole?
Ole.
That's good enough for me. Ole. You can call me whatever you want with that outfit. See?
What outfit, Jeffrey? What are you talking about? Just your Tuesday. What day is it today? Friday. Maybe it's through your glasses, it looks like I'm wearing something strange, but that's what it is.
So, okay, we're here at Comic Con in San Diego. Who is more possessed? The people here or the people in the film?
Oh my god. That's hard.
Well, I think the only possessed person in this room is Natasha. She still persists. And she's capable. Now she looks like a sane, wonderful, innocent young lady, but she can exhale through stuff with her face and then you see her true self.
Can you can you show? Let's see. Oh my gosh. You got to watch it. It was a little scary. It was a little scary. Cool.
Daddy, can I get this? Whatever you want, kiddo. Something in there. Oh, that's weird. There aren't any seams. What does that mean? I think whoever made this didn't want anybody to open it. Are you okay? I saw something in her.
Okay, I saw the trailer. True story. And then within the trailer, then I saw fingers coming out of a throat, terrified me. I screamed out loud. How is this a based on a true story?
Well, it it is it is based on a true story. There was a family
What?
Yeah. There was a family that actually bought this Dippick box on eBay. I think it was 2002 and some really, really crazy things started happening to the family. Tragic things. And another weird thing that was after we wrapped the film in Vancouver, uh all the props, they were in a storage room and everything burned down to the ground and turned to ashes. And to this day, the Vancouver Police Department still doesn't know who how the fire
I didn't know that.
I didn't know that either.
It's true. Beneath his wings, you will be protected. He will cover you.
Oh my god. His truth. So did you have to do a proper exorcism when you all left set?
I got a ton of props in my garage. You got an exercise last night, didn't you? Did you? Oh, do tell us about that.
He he has this thing called tequila.
Oh, really? Yeah.
Now we know why the glasses are on. It's not because my costume's too bright, right? We're having some issues today. Well, you you've been to Comic Con many times. Um, crazier this year, how does it compare?
Well, we just got in last night.
Okay. And you made it count?
And I did. I made it count. I hadn't seen Ole in a long time. It's always I love this place. It's the it's the greatest place to kind of be able to interact with fans. Um a movie like this is it's so fun to be able to bring it here. These are the people are going to go see the thing. Um I get to do interviews with the Green Lantern. My name is Ryan Reynolds. Thank you very much.
Okay, Ryan. It's been so nice having this time with you. Huge fan. As a director, how was it working with Sam Ray?
It was wonderful because Sam, you know, sometimes, and I have to say that, that some producers don't know much about film making. But the good thing about Sammy, of course, is that he's a filmmaker himself. So every time we came on this movie and came and said, we want to do this stuff to the movie in order to make it more real, work with real character, all the organic soft things that's in this movie, you know, because it's real stuff happening up there on the screen. It's real character, it's real psychology. And that's actually what makes this film work.
Yeah, definitely. Well, speaking of special effects this ring could grant you guys any wish. I could make anything happen. What would you like to see happen?
Take off your clothes.
This is my skin.
That's my wish too.
We're done. We're a youngster among us. What did they do to you on set? I have no idea. How was it? Were you guarded and protected from these two?
That ring doesn't work. It didn't work at all. It's a faulty ring. Could your wish please be to make sure that that wish doesn't happen to keep my clothes on.
Don't worry. I think next time you guys got to do a comedy for sure.
We will. We will. I said getting off this movie, it's so intense. I'm like, I'm doing a comedy after this. Let's do it.
Thank you all for chatting with us. Thank you, Ryan.
