\n\tAnother Lanterns<\/a> trailer dropped today during the series Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con<\/a> and while we know the action of the series take place in a Nebraska small town with recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and mentor legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) dealing with a small murder, we see the action head to space in the massive galaxy that we know.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso showing up here in the trailer is Sinestro. In the show, Jordan is training Stewart to be the ultimate intergalactic cop. <\/p>\n

\n\tSurprising everyone at the panel was Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardener. He claimed he didn\u2019t get the email to be at today\u2019s panel. \u201cI\u201dm kind of a big deal at Comic-Con,\u201d he joked, \u201cFirefly,\u2026\u201d as he listed his credits. \u201cI\u2019m legally required to be here!\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tSix clips were also shown during the panel, showing how grounded and riveting this series is over the lampoon sensibility of the Marin Campbell-directed, Ryan Reynolds-starring big screen take.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the first clip, we see Jordan picking up a very obedient Stewart. Jordan asks him if he\u2019s used the ring.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI haven\u2019t worked the ring yet, I thought the point was the Guardians choose me.\u201d Jordan flips Stewart the ring while driving. \u201cI\u2019ll be at a taco stand down the road, meet me there.\u201d Jordan jumps out of the car while it\u2019s in motion, which flings off a cliff. Stewart grabs the ring activating it, before the car crashes in the canyon below. Moments later, Hal is taking photos gleefully with fans at the taco stand as Stewart arrives, ticked off.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the second clip, Hal is in the police station, grilling a suspect who he believes is an alien. He\u2019s able to detect that he is an alien, given his stock answers about President Barack Obama and the fact that he doesn\u2019t know what school Harry Potter went to. The alien has a ticking bomb that he\u2019ll set off in his head if he\u2019s not released. Hal, unafraid slams him up against the window. The bomb is set. Hal throws the alien to other side of the room, before activating his ring to create a protective bubble as the alien human ignites.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe third sequence showed Stewart getting an assignment to invade a mansion in the woods while the fourth teased the arrival of Guy Gardner. In the fifth clip, which appeared to be a sequence that took place before the Hal-alien fight scene, Jordan is in a bar and yearns to start a fight with the locals. Stewart knows what\u2019s going on: Hal wants to intentionally start a fight so he can go to jail to talk to the alien that the cops are blocking him from.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the sixth clip, it\u2019s revealed that Stewart slept with the wife of Garrett Dillahunt\u2019s. <\/p>\n

\n\tEP Mundy revealed that Laura Linney will be playing one of the senior Guardians on the show, and left it at that without announcing the name of her character. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the last clip, Hal meets Sinestro in space who is imprisoned. Sinestro wants to know more about Stewart and where Hal found him. \u201cHe\u2019s not my trainee, he\u2019s my contingency,\u201d Hal tells Sinestro. \u201cYou don\u2019t believe he\u2019s your back-up, do you Hal?\u201d asserts Sinestro. <\/p>\n

\n\tCast also includes Kelly MacDonald (who wasn\u2019t present today due to being on set elsewhere), Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Ulrich Thomsen, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Sherman Augustus, J. Alphonse Nicholson, Jason Ritter, Nathan Fillion, Chris Coy, and Paul Ben-Victor.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeries is produced by HBO in association with Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios.\u00a0The Lanterns\u00a0pilot is co-written by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, who are co-creators for the series. Mundy serves as showrunner. The first two episodes are directed by James Hawes, with Stephen Williams, Geeta Vasant Patel and Alik Sakharov also tapped to direct. The series is executive produced by Mundy, Lindelof, James Gunn, Peter Safran, King, Ron Schmidt, and Hawes.<\/p>\n

\n\tLanterns was shot not only at the Warner lot, but all over the state of California, including Barstow and the Santa Clarita area.<\/p>\n
