Variety has reported that Ryan Reynolds will play the Green Lantern.
Wow first I thought they were going to cast Bradley Cooper, then I heard that they may ass rape Green Lantern by casting Justin Timberlake but this is actually pretty good news for the movie. I really like Ryan Reynolds. Even though he did marry Scarlett Johansson...yeah...he...married...her.
Nevermind what I just said. I hate Ryan Reynolds. Hate him I say. Besides the Green Lantern is lame anyway. I mean his weakness is the color yellow for crying out loud! YELLOW!
Warner Bros. Pictures has hired X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Proposal star
Ryan Reynolds to play the title role in the anticipated Green Lantern, scheduled
for a June 17, 2011 release.
Based on the DC Comics hero, the
action-adventure will be directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye)
and produced by Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti. Berlanti wrote the script with
Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.
The Hollywood trades say that
Reynolds and his camp entered negotiations for the part Friday, after the studio
held two rounds of screen tests, along with actors Bradley Cooper and Jared
Leto. Justin Timberlake also did a screen test. The studio had holding options
on the actors, but, except for Reynolds, those expired Monday. Reynolds' option
would have expired end of day Friday.
Production is expected to begin in
January.
The "Green Lantern" was created in 1940 by writer Bill Finger
and artist Martin Nodell. Introduced in 1959, Hal Jordan is a second-generation
test pilot, an ordinary man who was given the power ring and battery (lantern)
by a dying alien named Abin Sur. When Abin Sur's spaceship crashed on Earth, the
alien used his ring to seek out an individual to take his place as Green
Lantern: someone who was "utterly honest and born without fear."
Reynolds will be the only actor to have played heroes for both Marvel
and DC. He recently starred in Fox's "Wolverine," in which he played Wade
Wilson/Deadpool. The character is now being developed for a spin-off to which
Reynolds is attached. He also played Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity.
