Since Ryan Reynolds is playing Hal Jordan, he should know the oath right? Here's the video from MTV: Movie Trailers - Movies Blog While Reynolds insisted that he knows the Green Lantern Oath by heart, the actor refused to recite it when requested by MTV's Josh Horowitz. "I'm not doing the oath for you on national internet," Reynolds declared, staring directly into the camera's lens. "Of course I know the Oath — the Oath is very simple — but no, Josh, I'm absolutely not doing it." Could it be something to do with his conract? "It probably is, but I don't actually read the contracts," the actor joked. "I just show up where they tell me to." "If I do that, some Warner Bros. snowstorm ninja is going to jump out of somewhere and stab me with my own sharpened bones," he said. Sounds weird to me. I thought he would've said it but hey, we all know how Ryan Reynolds is. He was also full of praise for his co-star, Blake Lively, who will play Hal Jordan's love interest, Carol Ferris.. Movie Trailers - Movies Blog "She's amazing — that girl is nobody's fool," Reynolds told MTV News during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival. "She came in and, much like everyone else in the film, had to fight for the role and read [for the character]. She did such an amazing job. She's going to be flawless, she's going to be perfect." Despite his admiration for Lively, Reynolds struggled to remember the name of her "Gossip Girl" character. "Blair van... van der... Wooten?" he guessed. "Dick Van Patton? She's playing Dick Van Patton in the movie, the Dutch dog food industrialist." There is also a lot of confusion over the characters in the film such as whether or not Sinestro is the film's main villain. Current speculation puts Hector Hammond as the movie's central bad guy, with subsequent sequels focusing more on Sinestro's evil turn. "I'm going to stay the hell away from this minefield right now and let you speculate," Reynolds chimed in. "But I know that everything is going to become very clear really soon."
