ComingSoon.net talked to Terminator Salvation and Avatar star Sam Worthington about possibly starring in the Martin Campbell-directed Green Lantern.

"I've been talking to (director) Martin Campbell about it," Worthington said when asked if he had been approached about the role. "It's one of those things where they're still doing the script. I said, 'Give me a script. Let me have a look at it.' I like Martin a lot. I met him on the Bond stuff, and I like his work, but the second step is, 'Is it a movie that I'd go and see?'"

Warner Bros. Pictures is eyeing a June 17, 2011 release for the comic book adaptation.

I dont really know who this dude is. He doesnt look like Hal. God I with someone would ask Nathan Fillion to play Green Lantern. He is a great scifi actor and looks like Hal, down to the hair!

I dont think he would be bad but I like the idea of an unknown actor to play Hal. It makes for a better way of doing things. You get a bigger name and they dont usually put in the passion for a charector like an unknown actor does

Nathan Fillion is hilarious on Castle and can probably pull of Hal but I know they will go with someone younger and unknown. As much as I like Hal I am more of a Kyle Rayner fan and I hope they put him in one of the sequels if this one does well.

I haven't seen Sam in anything yet so I could not really say whether he would be good or not.

This guy has been tipped to be the next big thing but nobody has seen him in anything yet! After Terminator hes in Avatar, then Clash Of The Titans..hell why not GL..why not Supes, why not Wonder Woman!

Funny Rorschach

I thought Robert Downey Jr. was tabbed to play Wonder Woman?

I remember him "getting into the role" a few years ago, before he got the Iron Man gig. I bet he's still got the suit and everything.

Rorshauch you know that movies are made outside of America as well yeah?
Worthington being a Perth Boy like myself the reason I have followed his career, has been in numerous Australian films, Gettin Square, Dirty Deeds and the most internationally noted being Somersault. The guy can act and every Director he has worked with wants to bear his children after working with him. The guy is going to be huge.

i really dont know who i want as hal jordan. theres like 4 different people i heard rumored to play him, i just hope they do this right because DC doesnt have many good movies, actually to think about it they really only have the batman films. oh and swamp thing! i just dont want to cry when this movie comes out because green lantern is one of my favorite comics and hal is one of my fav characters. oh and im looking forward for the first flight should be good

A Green Lantern film has the potential to make somebody a movie star. Once again if the frickin suits in Hollywood can stay out of the way and let people who care about the character do their job then we'll get a good movie.
