Casting has begun! We already know that Ryan Reynolds is Hal Jordan. Well now Carol Ferris has been cast. Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) will play Carol.

Looking forward to seeing this. About time WB got a well known DC comics character besides Superman and Batman on the silver screen.

MikesPizzaShack · 01-09-2010, 11:35 PM

im actually excited about the possibility that this movie could be really fun.

*Raph's Girl* · 01-13-2010, 02:15 PM

And we got a villain! Buuut it's not Sinestro!

Peter Sarsgaard has been cast Hector Hammond....A man who gains psychic powers from a meteor. He also has daddy issues as his father (a senator) sees him as a disapointment.

Sinestro will reportadly be in the film, it's just that he's not the main villain.

Looks like filming for the film starts in March in New Orleans. There's currently an open casting call for stunt people.

Meanwhile take a look at the concept art for the movie:

Oh looky... Oans... er uh...:

Sinestro!:

Kilowag (Yikes!):

Abin Sur and Tomar Re:

*Andrew NDB* · 01-29-2010, 02:01 PM

Those were leaked to me over a year ago. They're real, but by now there's no way the current designs resemble those.

I like the depiction of the Guardians, Kilowog, and Abin Sur, though.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-15-2010, 09:07 PM

Some casting news... No Sinestro hasn't been cast yet. But they DID cast Tim Robbins as Hector Hammond's father, Senator Hammond.

Mark Strong is the frontrunner. He's Campbell's favorite and it's very likely Campbell will have his way.

*Samhain* · 02-19-2010, 05:40 PM

This movie is gonna rock. Loooking at the CP, it looks like they are heading in the right direction.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-22-2010, 12:25 PM

Geoff Johns has tweeted that Mark Strong is indeed playing Sinestro!

More casting!

Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett in the Star Wars films) has been cast as Abin Sur

New Zealand's Taika Waititi (Cuz apperantly Maori look enough like Eskimos?) has been cast as Pieface.

Taika Waititi:

Aaand behind the scenes pics from the set in New Orleans are now popping up! Not really showing anything except Ryan Reynolds standing around. But he is wearing the ring in one of the pics...

Spacebabie · 03-16-2010, 11:12 PM

Thanks for the info so far. I'm looking forward to this movie. Well to be honest I'm looking forward to anything with Ryan Reynolds in it.

*Raph's Girl* · 03-25-2010, 02:07 AM

Whoa! Angela Bassett was just cast as Amanda Waller!

Currently the character is being played by Pam Grier in Smallville.

Ok now Im curious about the storyline for this movie if they're involving Checkmate!!

Im not sure if this is a good thing or not. Im having a hard time picturing Angela Bassett as an overweight woman....

*Brodie* · 03-25-2010, 02:35 AM

Gonna go out on a limb and say they probably wont make her overweight.

*Brodie* · 03-29-2010, 02:14 AM

Double post, Don't care:

Apparently Green Lantern is being shot for 3D....Which makes sense, doubly so because it's Green lantern. 3D I care about.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-29-2010, 04:19 AM

I honestly can't remember Waller or Checkmate (or even the Suicide Squad) having any significant relationship to the GL mythos (aside from Alan Scott being White King at some point, but that has nothing to do with this). My guess is the producers did the same thing they did on Smallville until very recently: pulled a random DC character out of the blue to make comic fans somehow care more, even though they're usually portrayed nothing like the comic version. My guess is that this "Amanda Waller" character will be loosely at best related to the comic version. Which would kind of annoy me, because it might hurt the chances of /WallerCheckmate getting their proper due in a future film.

Either way, I don't care at all if Waller is in it. I know for a fact that Guy Gardner won't be, despite being the one, TRUE Green Lantern (chosen first by Abin Sur's ring before his spaceship crashed closer to Hal Jordan, deemed equally worthy), and that makes me sad. Even an "Emerald Dawn II"-type cameo where he's Hal's lawyer or whatever he was in that mini would be better than nothing.

Venting aside, I can't wait for this flick. I'm hoping for a big epic sci-fi trilogy. Now, any word on the eternally-delayed Flash flick? There's no reason with every other character getting a movie that they can't get this done already...

*Andrew NDB* · 03-29-2010, 11:01 AM

Having read the first draft I suspect they're substituting Alan Scott's little role with Waller. Probably Geoff's idea.

Holy crap, The Wall is in this? Sweet.

Anybody know what's going on with SuperMax currently? I'm actually more psyched for that than this at the moment.
