Green Nuclear Wessles?

Green Nuclear Wessles?

Is the actor who plays Chekov in the new Star Trek movie also going to be playing Green Lantern?

So I'm really not into the whole casting deal because until its official there's no big reason to freak out. But I found this link where actor Anton Yelchin (Chekov in the new Trek) is up for Hal Jordan. Your thoughts? My immediate thoughts are no, he looks too weak.

Check out the source link below for more.

They're going to get somebody that's about mid 20's to 30 for that role. Guarantee it.

If they are going for someone young... shouldn't they make him be Kyle instead of Hal?

If this is true I loose faith in humanity as well as any higher power. No Viggo either. Love the actor! but not Hal Jordan. Viggo is too old. If you want a continuity between movies then you will need a younger actor then Viggo. It will takes years for WB to complete a congruent series of interlocking films and the actor has to stand that test of time. His character in Lord of the Rings could but Viggo is only an actor. It would be too difficult to get him in the right shape for the movie when he is about 60.
And personally I want to see a great series of movies with the same cast.
Effe no for all the actors mentioned above. Again, I freaking loved Viggo in LOTR! Aragorn is kick @ss!

Viggo should be the Green Lantern if they ever make a Kingdom Come Movie. Otherwise, he's too old.

And for Yelchin, wow. That would be a travesty....

They should get Scott Porter from Friday Night Lights. He's got the look people.

I don't know this guy but sure will when STAR TREK comes out so i say NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! A character like this needs a good UNKNOWN lookalike actor!!!! ; )

Common as John Stewart...

BillyBlack - 2/27/2009, 12:07 PM
Booo this casting. True or not. Booo this rumor and whomever started it. Ryan Gosling for Hal Jordan.

I like the way you're thinking, MoonDoggyX. I just don't think Common is bankable enough for a tentpole project like this. They'll prob wind up going Will Smith if John Stewart is the sujbect.

Tyrese or Morris Chestnut for John Stewart. Chris Evans for Kyle. Maybe Hal but definitely Kyle.

MOONDOGGYX-

That's a great idea, he may not have the experience but I've liked him in everything he's been in so far!

90CALIBER-

Morris Chestnut is a great idea too. I think he's a severely underated actor. He was GREAT in the movie "Half Past Dead" as a bad guy. The movie blew chunks, but i couldn't believe how sold i was on his part. The line "I'm a Sociopath, I could kill anyone and not feel a thing." Then he murders his right hand man and smiles, was classic.

I'd agree with your Chris Evans choice too if he wasn't already in the universe (as Human Torch). He'd make a great Kyle.

chris evans would be a fantastic choice for either person but they probably wont cast him b/c he already has donned the F4 symbel as Johnny Storm and thats a Marvel character to boot.

deadpool87 - 2/27/2009, 2:16 PM
they should just do open casting and look for an unknown, that way they have more of the budget for the special effects, which considering it's the Green Lantern are going to be numerous and expensive.

i think the guy playing Kirk in the new star trek would be better then this poser
DarkAvengers
DarkAvengers - 2/27/2009, 3:49 PM
Viggo? Common? CHRIS EVANS?????????? God, no!!! WTF is wrong with you guys??? Chris Evans is the biggest tool on the planet. NO WAY. If you want a young Hal Jordan, you have to go with someone younger. joob234 is right about the guy playing Kirk. Mortensen is way too old. He would be good for Jay Garrick. Him or Ed Harris would be perfect for Jay Garrick. Sorry, i got side tracked.

Why not David Boreanz for Hal or Ryan Gosling?
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 2/27/2009, 4:20 PM
Apparantly Gosling and Emile Hirch(thank god!) turned down the role! can you believe that??..well [frick] em...ive never seen this Yelchin guy in anything but he looks AWFUL for the part..Viggo would be perfect for the older Hal but since they are obviously casting young id say Clive Owen would be great..or or Eric Bana
BillyBlack
BillyBlack - 2/27/2009, 4:25 PM
Sucks that Gosling turned it down, I didn't hear that one. I thought he'd be pretty good for Hal Jordan if you're planning an origin story. Maybe he's holding out for the Riddler in Nolan's next batflick. That would be just as good IMO. Emile Hirch couldn't wipe his own arse, let alone wear the power ring.

slimybug - 2/27/2009, 4:26 PM
Well, obviously, this is just a dumb joke.

I think, and a lot of people agree with me, that NATHAN FILLION IS Hal Jordan!

BillyBlack - 2/27/2009, 4:41 PM
Hey Joob234

How bout Matt Damon for Hal Jordan? HAHAHAH ^_^ just kidding bro. I think you could be right about Chris Pine, but I doubt he'd even get the chance after being locked into Captain Kirk for the next however many movies.

slimybug - Fillon might not get a fair look. He's got some cred in the community due to Firefly, but I doubt the studio sees him as a box office winner.

joob234 - 2/27/2009, 5:02 PM
o chris pine is the actor playing kirk. cool haha i didnt no the name of the actor haha

I actually like Matt Damon as Jason Bourne..thats about it! He was good in syriana too..its just that he has a very strange mishapen head lol

If they ever do Kyle Rayner, it should be the guy from 10,000 B.C. and The Covenant, Stephen Strait. He looks a lot like Kyle from the Rebirth series, drawn by Ethan Van Sciver.

Is there any good reason why Hollyweird loves to cast prepubecent neophytes for the roles that require men? This guy looks like first target in a mens penitentiary.
Hal Jordan as man's love target? No way!
Enough with the zygotes! Give us a guy who looks seasoned, late 20's early 30's.
Aiiwolf
Aiiwolf - 2/27/2009, 10:48 PM
Indeed...Ryan Gosling is the PERFECT Hal Jordan :)
BillyBlack
BillyBlack - 2/27/2009, 11:06 PM
I always thought Kevin Smith got the best out of Matt Damon. "Lion face, Aaah! Lemon face, Ewww!"

Boreanz voiced Hal Jordan in the JL New Fontier movie and I thought did really good. But the WB is gonna put some money in this one, make it a big summer action flick. I just can't see them handing the keys to Angel from Buffy.

But really, who can deny Damon's powerful turn in Team America World Police.

MAAAAATT DAAAAAAAMMMOOOOOOOOOOONN!! (retard voice)

Joob234, are you going to post "Matt Damon for Captain America" in every thread from here until they make the movie? Seems like every thread I read, no matter what its about, you're going on and on about Matt Damon playing Cap.

Wait a minute.........

Joob234, you ARE Matt Damon, aren't you?! You're trolling the comic sites trying to start a grass roots campaign for the Cap role, aren't you?!

Everybody, I've OUT-ED Matt Damon!

I honestly think they might try to get Boreanez for Hal, they had approached him BEFORE Bale to play Batman, think about that one.
