Justin Timberlake Tests for Green Lantern

Please god, no! AICN is reporting a RUMOR that JT is doing a screen test for the role of Hal Jordan! Well, its only a screen test, right? That doesn't mean he gets the part.

"Got an unconfirmed rumor that at Leavesden Studios - there's been some Warner Bros. screen testing on GREEN LANTERN and that Justin Timberlake was suiting up for the test. That does not mean that JT is going to be Hal Jordan, but just that he's one of the guys that they've been seriously considering for the role of our Emerald Knight."

WB plans a June 17, 2011 release for the movie, so we're hoping official casting news give us more info.

Stay tuned.

He will never get the part. Regardless of how he acts, the dude sounds like little miss muffet on helium when he speaks.

Sad thing is I bet if he is cast they will pull a bunch of money cause of his dumb teen bop fan base...

Has anyone seen any of his movies? He is actually a pretty good actor. Especially in Southland Tales,, now there was a mindblower. I personally think if he is cast than it would draw a big crowd, but I think he might be able to make it work.

That would be like choosing Jason Lewis for Cap...LOL sorry Leee. Just playing with you. No way in hell will they let this happen. @ wulfcomicfan please tell me you are just playin with us or are you supermike in disguise..LOL

In all honesty, he's not a bad actor.. But I wouldn't be able to associate him with Hal Jordan!!

That rendition of "The Killers - All These Things That I've Done" mid way through Southland Tales is like woah! Class!

LEEE777 - 7/9/2009, 2:18 PM
Lets just hope JUSTIN's there for a TV EXTRA job lol!

But hey, know one has thought he could be playing himself (for some reason)??

WULF @ Ive got SOUTHLAND TALES, based on a comic book infact, he's okay but not for any Big role! it'll be laughed out of the cinema! Not many singers make it as actors, sad but true.

Spidey @ Grrrrrrrrrr heh heh heh!

That would be interesting if he and Cameron Diaz both get cast! They could just film the behind the scenes cat fight between Diaz and Jessica Biel and throw it in the movie.

Edit:Oops, I confused Green Hornet and Green Lantern in regards to Diaz. Looks like we won`t get that cat fight.

I`ll give the guy credit, he has one hell of a resume...

Britney Spears
Scarlett Johansson(?)
Cameron Diaz
Jessica Biel

That alone makes him ok in my book plus he has done a good job in the films that he has been in.

I'd believe DJ Qualls as GL before Timberlake. He's not what I'd call a hero, he'd no bigger than a popcorn fart...

Don't get me wrong, D*** in a box=hilarious, Mother Lover=genius, but Justin Timberlake/Hal Jordan=Worst comic book movie ever...even worse than Catwoman!

i gotta say, after seeing him in alpha dog and black snake moan, he's not my pick but this might not be bad. i'd rather see him as the flash if he's gonna get into the superhero movies and all. but he's not a bad actor.



doesn't mean i like him, just giving credit where credit's due.
KEROSENE
KEROSENE - 7/9/2009, 2:38 PM
or plastic man, could be good.
Bamf7
Bamf7 - 7/9/2009, 2:39 PM
nah...he's not a bad actor. But I would have trouble seeing him as a bigger hero. Maybe a supporting role somewhere.

Hey! Actually, maybe Menudo will screen test to play the GL Corps with him too!!!

WulfComicFan - 7/9/2009, 2:41 PM
he I said MIGHT make it work, and that he has got some acting skills. I still like nathan fillon, from that fan-made trailer.

The media says it's for GL but they could call him up for Aquaman in JLA guys. Not saying i'd like that but... Aquaman's a fag anyways. It would just bring more popularity to the character LOL :P
WulfComicFan
WulfComicFan - 7/9/2009, 2:43 PM
and yeah, he is kinda scrawny, but Hal Jordan isn't some blown up roid freek either, but either way JT is way too young I think anyways.
