Green Lantern movie news

[Raph's Girl]

The producer of the film? Donald Del Ray

What's it about? Apperantly Hal Jordan's origin....oh...goody... :sleep:

They're waiting for a first draft right now from writer Greg Berlanti, and it sounds like De Line is hoping to have that soon. And in case you had any doubt Justice League was dead, De Line said that Green Lantern's development has been totally unaffected by that project - they haven't seen a script or talked to anyone about fitting in with that film.

Not even the good Lantern....Where's Rayner?

[Spitfire]

Guy whose writing it lacks any creditability. He's only done TV shows. I don't watch "Dawson's Creek" so I can't see how good he is. However writing for TV and writing for film are two totally different things and usually when people make this jump you just get one massive suck-fest.

Things are lookin up: http://movies.ign.com/articles/898/898839p1.html


I hope Guy's role is minimal. I like him alot, but 2 Lanterns for the first movie seems like a dumb idea.

[Raph's Girl]

Well casting is about to begin on this film soon (it'll be out June 2011). WB has narrowed down who'll be playing Hal Jordan to 3 people:

Ryan Reynolds
Bradley Cooper (who? )
Justin Timberlake (oh gods no! )

Now IMO Ryan Reynolds would be perfect for the role!

The other characters in the movie are:
Martin Jordan
Carl Ferris
Carol Ferris
Thomas Kalmaku
Tomar-Re
Abin Sur
Sinestro
Kilowog
the Guardians
Legion
Hector Hammond

Guy Gardner and Clark Kent will have cameos as possable ring bearers...before Abin Sur's ring chooses Hal. :lol:

I wonder if Thomas Kalmaku will be called Pie Face?

I think Ryan Reynolds would be better for Flash.

[Slap-Happy]

I want Ryan Reynolds to focus his time on the Deadpool movie. So I suggest Cooper for the role. I don't think Timberlake has what it takes to be Hal Jordan.

[The Stryker]

Is Reynolds directing and writing Deadpool? All he would need to do is have time in his schedule.

[ToTheNines]

I think Ryan Reynolds would be better for Flash.

Yeah, perfect. I don't think he fits GL at all.

[Brodie]

If he was going to be a GL, he'd make a better Kyle Rayner...You know, someone with a sense of humor.

[Raph's Girl]

Wow.. that was quick. According to variety Ryan Reynolds has been picked!!!

Oh my gods...that pic of him they chose....nummy....:evilgrin:

Dammit. This f**cks everything up for Deadpool

[The Stryker]

How? Actors are allowed to do more than one movie.

[Spitfire]

I would have preferred Bradley Cooper he looks more like a GL to me. I also loved him in "The Hangover". I liked Ryan in his comedy roles but I still have a bad taste in my mouth for him after Blade 3. Though in retrospect it wasn't really him who killed that movie he was probably the only good part of it.

[Raph's Girl]

Dammit. This f**cks everything up for Deadpool

No it doesn't. He can easily do both films. They're not out till 2011.

[Slap-Happy]

By "f**ks up everything, I mean I'll have to wait:(

[gobo]

You didn't have to wait before? I'm confused... :-?

[Slap-Happy]

Well, the more I think about it, he could do both films. Deadpool seems like a role he just has to do voice work for, and he could just filma cameo asunmasked Deadpool. Just hire a stuntman with a similar physique as Deadpool.

You're thinking too hard about this. It's really not a problem for him to do two movies without compromise.

[Jester]

Look at Kevin Bacon...or Jude Law.

[The Stryker]

Honestly though. If he HAD to choose. Green Lantern would be the better choice. This is the first GL movie and there's going to be a level of excitement around it.

You can say Deadpool is the better character or whatever but the fact is that fox is making the movie. We all saw Wolverine, right?

[odupianist]

Deadpool is a better character yes, but I agree, "Deadpool" in Wolverine made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

[The Stryker]

Also, theres more money to be had in Green Lantern.

Green Lantern isn't an A-list hero but he's way above Deadpool on the "who's this" scale.

[Guitar_Raph]

It would be strange if Justin Timberlake played Green Lantern. Maybe he could play keyboard (LOL).

I found this pic on Photobucket. Here's Brian Austin Green as Green Lantern.

The 90210 star does have superhero experience, voicing Johnny the Human Torch on the 1994 Fantastic 4 cartoon. Even made his character musical (did the Flame On rap).

That's reassuring.:ohwell::ohwell::ohwell:

[Raph's Girl]

Casting calls have begun going out with this movie!

CAROL FERRIS - 26-32, a smart and attractive woman with an MBA. She started as a pilot and now runs Ferris Aircraft. She is a work-a-holic...FEMALE LEAD

DR. HECTOR HAMMOND - 27-35, Character actor who is austere and impersonal, he is real "scummy." He is a pathologist and also the son of a Senator.

SINESTRO - Mid-30s to Mid-40s, he is smart, tough, intimidating and in great physical shape.

ABIN SUR - Mid-30s to mid-40s, he is a great warrior.

With Abin Sur...couldn't they just like CGI him?? He's gonna die within within like the first couple min of the film so there's really no point in a casting call. :P Unless they decide to show Abin Sur's adventures on Earth?

[Brodie]

Thats a really terrible idea, to CGI Abin sur.

[Mecha Cow]

So you're saying movies should replace extras and bit parts with CGI? :lol:
