But for this go - around , series directorJames Hawes(Slow Horses , Black Mirror ) is offering an update on how things are look and some insights into what pull in him to the serial , how it handles the sci - fi aspects , the cast ’s alchemy , and much more . The series follows Modern military recruit John Stewart ( Aaron Pierre ) and Lantern fable Hal Jordan ( Kyle Chandler ) , two intergalactic cops draw into a sour , world - base enigma as they enquire a execution in the American heartland . " It ’s an extraordinary compounding of mould . I ’ve been on the stage set the last four - and - a - routine calendar week ; the way the mould is landing is electric . I ’m thrilled by who we ’ve stick here . I do n’t guess DC fans will be in any way disappointed . I do it James Gunn has already talk about how delirious he is , " Hawes shared duringan instructive interview with Collider – here are the highlights :
Hawes on " Lanterns " Having " A Very exceptional Humor " : " There is a very particular humour that they [ the creative team ] brought to this . It ’s very rooted in a way that I care to think we achieve with ' irksome Horses , ' that I achieve with things like my ' Black Mirror ’s ' , and yet there is a rich vein of humor running through it . So , again , it was about that feel . I ’m such a huge fan of Damon [ Lindelof ] and Chris [ Mundy ] and the writing that they ’ve done in the yesteryear . "
Hawes on What " Bewitched " Him About HBO and DC Studios ' Series : " Listen , it all starts from the script . When you turn those pages , can you get the look of it ? You always find a scene or two that you think , ' I ca n’t hold back to be stood beside the tv camera and the cast , conduct this scene on the day . ' If that chance on twist the pages , you know this is something you have to take gravely , and that absolutely happened with ' lantern . ' To some extent , it ’s a swerve . Superheroes are not somewhere I ’ve really play before , but it ’s created in such a way — and I ca n’t recite you much — that it bewitched me . "
Hawes on How Series ' Sci - Fi Works in a Real - World Setting : " It does n’t lack its sci - fi conjuration , but it ’s done in a globe where you accept that these things just are . They do n’t need that extra sprinkling of sci - fi fairy dust . It works within a physical mankind that we ’ve hail to know . "
Hawes on " Lanterns " Cast ; Chandler & Pierre ’s " legitimacy , " " Charm " : " I ’m going to use slenderly strange words , but the first word that came to mind was ' authenticity . ' The next word is ' appealingness . ' These are two the great unwashed you just want to flow out with . There ’s just no dubiousness . You want to hang with them . You need to go on that journey . Add to that Kelly Macdonald , who I ’ve worked with before on ' Black Mirror . ' You get people who are just so classy and so busy inhabiting their roles , so you never doubt it . They ’re not on the outside — they’re deeply in those hide . "
