Green Lantern: Emerald Knights weaves six legendary
stories of the Green Lantern Corps’ rich mythology around preparations for an attack by an ancient
enemy. As the battle approaches, Hal Jordan mentors new recruit Arisia in the history of the Green
Lantern Corps, telling tales of Avra (the first Green Lantern) and several of Hal’s comrades –
including Abin Sur, Kilowog, Laira and Mogo. In the end, Arisia must rise to the occasion to help Hal,
Sinestro and the entire Green Lantern Corps save the universe from the destructive forces of Krona.
Primetime television stars Nathan Fillion (Castle) and Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men)
lead a diverse array of performers as the voices behind the Green Lantern Corps.
Fillion
provides the voice of the animated film’s central character, Hal Jordan, the human Green Lantern assigned
to Sector 2814 (which includes Earth). Fillion has starred in several primetime television series
including his current hit Castle as well as Desperate Housewives, Two Guys, a Girl
and a Pizza Place and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He has also developed a popular cult following
as a pair of Joss Whedon’s heroic captains: Capt. Mal Reynolds in the space-western series Firefly
and follow-up film, Serenity; and Captain Hammer in Whedon’s internet sensation Dr. Horrible’s
Sing-Along Blog. Fillion returns to the DC Universe after his successful turn as Steve Trevor in
the animated film Wonder Woman, and has performed voice work on the animated series Justice
League, Robot Chicken, The Venture Bros., and several Halo video games.
Moss gives voice to Arisia, a young recruit forced into her first mission on just her third day as a
Green Lantern. Prior to starring as the ever-evolving Peggy Olson in AMC’s ground-breaking series
Mad Men, Moss was featured on The West Wing, Invasion and Picket Fences.
Moss has been active in voiceovers for animation with previous roles in Steven Spielberg Presents
Animaniacs, Freakazoid! and It’s Spring Training, Charlie Brown!.
The voice cast for Green Lantern: Emerald Knights also features actor/spoken word artist
Henry Rollins (Sons of Anarchy, The Henry Rollins Show) as Kilowog, Jason Isaacs
(the Harry Potter films) as Sinestro, legendary professional wrestler “Rowdy” Roddy Piper
(They Live) as Bolphunga, Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) as Abin Sur, Kelly Hu
(The Vampire Diaries) as Laira and Wade Williams (Prison Break) as Deegan.

“Green Lantern: Emerald Knights is filled with wonderful backstory and exposition on the
Green Lantern Corps going far beyond Hal Jordan, making this film a perfect complement to the
live-action major motion picture, Green Lantern,” said Hersin Magante, WHV Marketing
Director, Family & Animation.
