Laying The Green Lantern Casting Rumors To Rest

Laying The Green Lantern Casting Rumors To Rest

All we have heard in the past few months is news about Spider-Man 4, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man 2, and The Avengers. How about the D.C. Corner of the universe, how about The Green Lantern.

This from Empire.com:

"According to an interview with Guggenheim at SciFi Wire, the movie is set to go in front of the cameras in Australia later this year, for a summer 2011 release. The writer, who delivered a new draft of the script last week, denied rumours that Chris Pine or Bradley Cooper might be cast (“They’re all false insofar as we haven’t chosen anyone yet…”) and didn’t let much slip, other than that the film focuses on the Hal Jordan incarnation of the character."

For all the Comic Book Movie Fans out there that did not like Bradley Cooper or Chris Pine, you can let out a collective sigh because your worst fears will not be realized. For the fans that wanted one of these two guys, hey that's how the ball breaks, or the cookie crumbles or whatever. They need to get Sam Worthington in there to sign the dotted line and be done. Hey DC please start filming already.

Hasn't this been announced or "debunked" way back already??? I mean, we're on to Worthington now LOL :P

Teabag, Worthington isn't too busy actually. I do believe his schedual would fit nicely with this movie's time frame. You should check out Betty's editorial on it here:

You know as long as they pick someone who can do the role justice, NATHAN FILLION, then I'll be happy! BTW Sweet Logo Jman! ;)

Teabag I like O'Loughlin but I don't know if I can see him as Hal.

Anil- If Dorf gets Hal, there is no way in blisterin' hell that Worthington would get Kyle. Worthington looks like Dorf's dad. It's one or the other for you my friend!

Yeah, the Cap War seems to have killed away the usual mix of boob outrage, sexual innuendos and 'funny as hell shit' posting. Get over it, guys!!


btw: rather Jason Lewis for Cap than Jensen Ackles! :)

Haaha JASON LEWIS FOR CAP SHAMAN, and u guys and your pictures. I swear no one reads my comments anymore The austrailian director Darren Scott (imdb him) that i am working with told me that Worthington is 90 percent gonna get he left the 10 out cuz anything can happen in movies aka spiderman 3 and venom hahajk. so For those who are curious 90 percent of a solid source says he got it :]]]. I hope i meet him this weekend too.

Bradley Cooper for GL. Neat. Loved him in Hangover, I guess that could work. Jason Lewis for Cap. Hmm. I'd have to see one of his films and hear his voice. He's got the looks, but does he have the talent, voice, and is he a fan? Other than that I like that the fact finally a DC movie (not including watchmen) that isn't Batman or Superman. We need a Justice League movie. (If) Nolan can make Batman 3 and Singer can fix Superman (loved the cast, hated the story), then all we need to do is create GL, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter (they can add his origin into the JL movie), Aquaman, and a Flash movie. I don't know how movie-goers would feel if it had 8+ heroes in the cast. I'd do just a few so that you'd have an equal number of villains.

i'm looking forward to the green lantern movie even though i'm a marvel guy. it seems that DC has a hard time marketing there comics into movies. i know this is off track but what did you guys prefer punisher or punisher: war zone?

Phinehas - 6/17/2009, 11:51 PM
JMan, I heartily disagree!

DC, take your time. Do this right. Capture the essence of this character. Don't assume just another "comicbookhero". Go epic with these stories.

TAKE YOUR TIME!!!

I agree with Shaman. Tom Jane is superior.
