Official Green Lantern Casting and Discussion Thread

[Double Down]

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

Current day. They are lining up for a JLA movie (probably).

 

[Silverstein]

Okay cool. This is awesome. So that's why Hall of Heroes has all of those Wonder Woman and GL figures for sale....

 

[Webhead2006]

probably not its just compies making money of toy sales.

 

[ZIPBAGS]

C'mon Warner. Let's get something announced already. This is ridiculous.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea i hope things on the production are still moving along good, and hopefully they do have their cast signed or mostly signed so you know all that prep work with training, makeup/costume fittings and all that going on. Its likely they do have their cast if the planned spring start is still true.

 

[Lane & Kent]

Just wondering, what would you guys think/do if they cast a black guy as Hal Jorden.

 

[Silverstein]

I like GL but he seems like a "team up" type of character. You know what I mean? Like I LOVE GL but he was always most fun for me when GA or WW or bats or superman showed up.

GL/GA would be an awesome movie....They just need to establish arrow more in the movies.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Just wondering, what would you guys think/do if they cast a black guy as Hal Jorden.

I'd be P*SSED. Cuz Hal Jordan's not black. This would be like casting a white guy as Cyborg. Cyborg ain't white.

....don't give them any ideas.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea there is no need to make him blac and if they were doing that then they wouldnt have tried to get gosling and casey for the role. Hopefully we get cast soon.

 

[Lane & Kent]

agreed and I still say Scott Porter is Hal Jordan.

 

[protocida]

If they wanted to cast a black guy, they'd do a movie about John Stewart.

 

[I Am The Knight]

^LOL, exactly. Although you never know with studios. WB wanted Will Smith for Superman at one point.

 

[BlackLantern]

someone at WB suggested it...I don't think that was the consensus there

 

[I Am The Knight]

But if Smith was really interested...Don't you think they would have gone for it? They did get Halle Berry for Catwoman after all, although they had the decency to at least create a new character for her..."Patience Phillips"

 

[Lobo]

She wouldn't have been the first black Catwoman, Ertha Kitt was. Hallecat was just that, she was NOT catwoman.

 

[BlackLantern]

Will Smith had the sense to know better

 

[JAK®]

I believe Will Smith refused to play Superman because he was a white character, and believed that more black heroes should be created instead of just making existing characters black. Or I could be completely imagining this.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Lobo: Good one regarding Kitt.

JAK: I think you're right. I'm sure someone has the quote somewhere.

BTW, are you the same troll from the Spidey boards?

What troll?

 

[I Am The Knight]

What troll?

I guess not, then

 

[protocida]

Between James Caviezel and Sam Worthington, i think Worthington has better chances. He's younger and will be quite know after "Avatar" and "Terminator Salvation".

But Warner considering Caviezel got me thinking. You think that Berlanti, Guggehein and Green changed Hal's age and made him older? I don't see Caviezel being seriously considered to play a 27-year old.

 

[MadVillainy]

Nathan Fillon
Sam Worthington
David Boreanaz

are great choices

but Fillon and Boreanaz might be too old to control a franchise

 

[protocida]

I really don't see neither Fillion nor Boreanaz as Hal. Seriously.

 

[Double Down]

I really don't see neither Fillion nor Boreanaz as Hal. Seriously.

Word.

 

[Lane & Kent]

I say either Scott Porter or Matt Long for Hal.
