Official Green Lantern Casting and Discussion Thread

[TheVileOne]

Well we are talking about a change in cast here if it goes from John Stewart to Hal Jordan. That's exactly what it is.

 

[GL1]

I appreciate you responding directly to my counterpoint, but you are using too many pronouns for me to understand you.

I say: The change in cast was not the cause of various cast-change movies that have failed. You say that we are talking about the cast change, a point on which I agree... then you say:

That's exactly what it is.

????

What's exactly what what is?

Or to be serious: please give specific nouns for "that" and "it."

If your entire statement is that you, TheVileOne and I, GL1 are talking about cast changes then, yes, I would have to agree with you wholeheartedly and perhaps we should just end our discussion here.

Hey guys, here's my new cast:

CAST:

Mark Paul Gosselaar-Hal Jordan/Green Lantern
Maria Menounos-Carol Ferris
Hugo Weaving-Sinestro
Michael Clarke Duncan-Kilowog
Doug Jones-Abin Sur
Sir Ben Kingsley-Abin Sur (voice)
Robert Redford-Alan Scott/Green Lantern (if not, then Harrison Ford)
Frank Oz-Guardians

I know probably in the GL movie, they're probably going to cast some unknown actors and actresses.

As the Green lantern casting issue is taking over some dozens different thread, I'm bumping the "official" one.
Sam Worthington's gonna be the next big thing after the new Terminator and Avatar.
He wouldn't be a bad Hal Jordan to me.

 

[Johnny Drama]

meh. He isn't bad by any means, just not amazing.

[Webhead2006]

some nice picks there.

 

[TheVileOne]

Geoff Johns is pretty much writing what should be the GL movie template in the comics with the Secret Origins storyline.

 

[The Major]

Geoff Johns is pretty much writing what should be the GL movie template in the comics with the Secret Origins storyline.

They should ask Johns to cut back on his DC titles to make him the screenwriter instead.

Johnny:

Excellent casting there.

 

[Johnny Drama]

Johnny:

Excellent casting there.

Thank you much! t:

 

[Dr. Fate]

Hal Jordan - Nathan Fillion

Kyle Rayner - Milo Ventimiglia

Alan Scott - John Snieder

John Stewart - Jamie Fox

Guy Garfner - Sean William Scott

That's pretty solid casting there, even though I don't care for Sean William Scott.

 

[Johnny Drama]

Thats good because your not supposed to care for Guy Gardner. You are supposed to hate him!

 

[Dr. Fate]

Thats good because your not supposed to care for Guy Gardner. You are supposed to hate him!

Oh right, I forgot. Silly me.

 

[Johnny Drama]

Hahaha

 

[Browncoat]

Very solid casting, Johnny Drama. Fillion FTW.

 

[The Shadow]

Jason Isaacs as Sinestro.

Great choice. He's an amazing actor (and an Aussie). t:

I can really see that and great choice. I hope Mr. Berlanti would get in touch with him for the role of Hal Jordan.

 

[avengerscaptain]

I love John Snieder. Great guy. Great look!

 

[chiefchirpa]

GL movie doesn't need high quality, high paying movie actors because you need to fill the roles of Hal, Kyle, Guy, and John. And then Sinestro, Carol, Abin Sur, voice for Kilowog, and so on. Payroll is expensive. Quality TV actors should suffice.

 

[Dr. Fate]

How about Jim Caviezel as Sinestro? He's already got the dark hair, just have him grow a mustache and slap some red makeup on him.

 

[SupaGirl]

That's pretty solid casting there, even though I don't care for Sean William Scott.

Hot Picture of SWS. HATE the tattoo though. YUCK!

Nathon Fillion- Hal Jordan

Completely uninspired choice I know, but at the moment I feel like its the best. Besides the geek cred through Whedon, I do find Fillion to be extremely charismatic on screen with what seems like little effort. I think Hal might need that because I never found him very interesting. He also has the a very similar appearance, deadpan humor, square jaw, fit, broad shoulders, charisma and I feel like his screen presence always puts him at the foreground but never shadows his supporting cast. All the good making of a leading man in general

Omar Epps- John Stewart

First of all, Epps is pretty underrated. I think his run on House he played a fantastic straightman to House. I feel that John is normally portrayed as the level headed by the book glue of the team. He kinda grounds everybody.

Chris Pine- Kyle Rayner

I think Chris Pine is a big up and comer. Star Trek has a lot of buzz behind it. Hes got the boyish, young good looks and plays naive pretty well (Blind Dating, Just My Luck).

Bradley Cooper- Guy Gardner

Cooper played a great confident a-hole in Wedding Crashers and Nip/Tuck minus the fact that he hammed it up a bit. He definitely looks a little more level-headed in Midnight Meat Train. In Failure to Launch he played a slacker best friend, a real chummy goofball. Mix it all up and you can get a pretty good Guy.
