Official Green Lantern Casting and Discussion Thread

[StorminNorman]

I disagree with that.

I remember Patrick Stewart, Aaron Eckhart, and Christian Bale getting name dropped like crazy before they were cast.

Aaron Eckhart didn't have half the fan support Liev Schrieber did.

Aaron Eckhart didn't have half the fan support Liev Schrieber did.

No he didnt, your right. But I recall many saying something along the lines of "He'd be good but Liev is still my choice" including myself.

 

[BlackLantern]

when the news came out that Eckhart had the part I was like "Perfect"...and was cemented by the campaign posters that were out later that month....

for Hal Jordan there are some Id like, but I know WB wants to have someone kind of recognizable

 

[dark_b]

there is more news on the second iron man movie then this.

 

[dnno1]

When has there been a candidate 90 to 100% of the fans wanted that wasn't hired? I can't think of anyone.

When has even 90% of fans ever agreed on a single candidate?

Patrick Stewart and Christian Bale

Patrick Stewart and Christian Bale

That's not what this poll said. Also, before "Star Trek: The Next Generation" aired, there were a lot of fans that thought it was going to flop.

Edward James Olmos was up for the role of Captain in Star Trek: TNG

84% is still overwhelmingly positive

 

[Changeling]

Yeah bro, you cant really use that as a statistic because its so friggin close to 90 percent. But technically I 'spose youre right.

 

[Webhead2006]

well maybe they have been able to keep important news on the film secret which we all know some times with how the world is today a hard thing to do but still possible. All signs point show gl is pretty much a go.

 

[JAK®]

I say Matthew Fox should be Hal.

 

[BlackLantern]

Is be cool with that...I think Matthew Fox would make a great Hawkeye

 

[Silverstein]

I have always said David Boreanaz for Hal Jordan/Green Lantern!!!

And if it's Jon Stewart GL then Ice Cube. But he'd have to actually ACT this time and not just "act" by playing as Ice Cube.

And if Kyle, then Josh Hartnett or Jerry O'Donnel...

 

[Lobo]

We know it's going to be Hal

 

[Webhead2006]

who lobo?

 

[Double Down]

who lobo?

Lobo is saying it will be Hal, not the other GLs named.

 

[Lobo]

Thanks DD

 

[Webhead2006]

ah yea people got to take it will be hal.

 

[Lobo]

The director said it will be Hal and the script is Hal, there's no guessing or anything, it is simply fact.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea

 

[Silverstein]

I didn't know...When does it come out? Like when is it scheduled for? And how official is it? Like is it actually going to come out or is this like Kevin Smith's Batman/Superman idea few years back....Or Cameron's Spider-man

 

[Lobo]

It has a director a script loved by WB and fanboys alike, and casting announcements are expected rather soon according to some sites.

Is it going to be the 1940's storyline or like newer...?

 

[Lobo]

40's? No it's set in present day.
