gigapixels Veteran Posted July 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 16, 2009 Nathan fillion would have been infinitely better. Agreed. But Ryan Reynolds is good and I think he'll do a fine job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_Candyman Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 but Nathan Fillion is already Captain Hammer. I think it's against the superhero rules to be 2 superheros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madskl Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think Ryan Reynolds would be perfect in a superhero role. Green Lantern might not have been my first choice because he is one of the more "not so popular" superheroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Kompressor Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I can't see Ryan Reynolds play the serious role of Hal Jordan. He's a comical type guy and most movies he plays a guy that you would laugh at.... maybe when they release a teaser and see his take on the role...maybe. saw this great Fan Made trailer also....looks good from the videomaker's perspective...lol he got some skillz. Sinestro played by (Rorschach from Watchmen) http://dorkshelf.com/?s=green+lantern+film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted December 1, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2009 Like last year's Iron Man movie, we'll get a sense of why Hal is in the Green Lantern costume, not just what the costume is, and the most interesting scenes will involve Hal out of his costume. Also, this won't be a traditional origin story, that labors over setting up the character, says Ryan Reynolds: It is [an origin story] to a certain degree, but it's not a labored origin story, where the movie [truly] begins in the third act. The movie starts when it starts. We find out Hal is the guy fairly early on, and the adventure begins. [MTV via Cinemablend] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted December 26, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2009 Blake Lively in the running for Green Lantern role Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively is set to star in the new comic book superhero movie, Green Lantern. The 22-year-old blonde star is being lined-up to play the love interest of the main character Hal Jordan - who is played by Ryan Reynolds. However, Blake reportedly faces stiff competition for the part as Jennifer Garner, Diane Kruger and Eva Green are also in the running. A source said: "Blake would be amazing in this role. She has a busy 2010 promoting The Town, but she would love to play a part in a superhero film." Green Lantern tells the story of Hal Jordan, an ordinary man chosen by an alien to receive an energy ring that can be used to protect the planet. Filming is due to begin in 2010, with a rumoured summer 2011 release date. Martin Cambell, who previously worked on Casino Royale, is to direct the movie, leading some to speculate that former Bond girl Eva may be his choice for the role.

Rappy Veteran Posted January 7, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2010 A Green Light for Green Lantern There wasn?t any doubt that Warner Bros.? Green Lantern would be going forward, but the film now has an official greenlight, says visual effects supervisor Karen Goulekas. ?Green Lantern got the official green light today,? Goulekas announced on her blog. ?And not a second too soon - only 10 weeks out from shooting!? While plenty of work has been done on the film, the green light allows money to really flow out to the production, so Goulekas and her crew now have two and a half months to get things together for a film that may include up to 1300 effects shots. [via SuperHeroHype] Martin Campbell will direct Green Lantern, which stars Ryan Reynolds and is scheduled for release on June 17, 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted January 9, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2010 Blake Lively to star in 'Green Lantern' Blake Lively has landed the female lead role in "Green Lantern" as Carol Ferris opposite Ryan Reynolds in Warner Bros.' live-action film based on the DC Comics hero. Martin Campbell will direct. Production is expected to begin in March with a release date set for June 17, 2011. Greg Berlanti wrote the script with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green. Michael Goldenberg's rewriting. Donald DeLine's producing with Berlanti. DeLine VP Andrew Haas is exec producing. "Green Lantern" was hatched in 1940. Hal Jordan, a second-generation test pilot, is an ordinary man who has been charged with defending a sector of the universe with a mystical green ring. His love interest Carol Ferris is a pilot and administrator in civilian life. The studio and Campbell tapped Reynolds for title role in July, following his performances in "The Proposal" and as Deadpool in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," a performance that prompted Fox to begin development on a spinoff film. Lively's currently seen on "Gossip Girl" and in indie drama "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee." She's in Warners' upcoming crime drama "The Town" opposite Ben Affleck. Credits include "Accepted" and the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" titles. Campbell directed the Mel Gibson-starrer "Edge of Darkness," based on the 1985 BBC miniseries that Campbell helmed. Warners is releasing "Edge of Darkness" Jan. 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted January 13, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted January 13, 2010 If you want to take a character like Green Lantern, who in the public eye is decidedly second-string, and make a giant Iron Man-sized success out of him, you?ve got to have a cast that can make the material sing. So far Warner Bros. is doing well by hiring Ryan Reynolds to play Hal Jordan / Green Lantern and Blake Lively to play Carol Ferris, but that doesn?t quite stack up against nabbing Robert Downey, Jr. for Iron Man.But WB and director Martin Campbell may have made the perfect move here by grabbing Peter Sarsgaard to play the film?s villain. And no, he?s not been cast as Sinestro. THR?s Heat Vision blog reports that Sarsgaard is in talks to play Dr. Hector Hammond, ?the pathologist son of a senator who is seen as a disappointment in his father?s eyes? and eventually develops powers of his own after contact with a meteor. Those powers include mind reading and mind control, depending on the version of Hammond in question. This is sounding like WB is hewing close to the Geoff Johns version of Green Lantern?s origin. Here?s the WikiPedia synopsis of Hammond as he appears in that story Slash Film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted January 14, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2010 Jackie Earle Haley Still Said to be a Contender for Green Lantern?s Sinestro The other day when Peter Sarsgaard was cast as Hector Hammond, the primary villain in Green Lantern, a few evidently took this as implicit confirmation that classic Green Lantern baddie Sinestro is not in the film. That isn?t the case, and HitFix has a great rundown on what role the eventually villainous Sinestro plays in the film, and in the series overall should the first film be successful enough to warrant another. Drew?s piece is good, and kicks off with one point: that while he?s denied doing any screentests, Warner Bros. is keen to cast Jackie Earle Haley as Sinestro. As Drew says, ?The groundwork is being laid in the first Lantern for a much larger role for Sinestro later on if this first movie does well, and they like the idea of continuing their relationship with Haley.? And what of the character? Those familiar with various Green Lantern origin stories know that Sinestro isn?t a bad guy at the outset. He?s another member of the Green Lantern Corps (intergalactic peacekeepers, basically) whose methods are a bit more totalitarian than most. Eventually he becomes an antagonist. Furthermore, Drew makes the film sound as if it could be packed with characters ? ?damn near continuity porn for comic fans,? he says. So Hector Hammond (Sarsgaard) is a primary villain, but there?s more. Ryan Reynolds? character Hal Jordan becomes Green Lantern after encountering a dying alien named Abin Sur, who was pursued to Earth by a foe named Legion ? essentially an insectoid hive mind in a mechanical body. He?s in the film, and Drew hints at ?another major villain? as well. So there?s a lot to do. Which means that we may not see much of Sinestro in the movie, but as things stand now he?s evidently a part of the recipe. Better to set him up now, get the origin out of the way and then be able to go into a full-on Green Lantern / Sinestro conflict in another film.
