Official Green Lantern Casting and Discussion Thread

[Jake Cassidy]

said he's not interested in doing a superhero film....I agree...an actor of his cailbre shouldn't be concerned with that

Are you saying he's too good for superhero movies? Or am I reading that wrong?

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Who was the guy who played the gay character on Dawson's Creek. I always thought he would make a good Kyle Rayner.

Kerr Smith?

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Kerr Smith?

Yeah him. seems like I remember him expressing interest in it at one point too.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Ryan Gosling, Casey Affleck, and Jim Caviezal were the only other names mentioned.

Caviezel is the only one I'd be happy with. Never for Superman, but for GL... I could dig it.

Caviezel is the only one I'd be happy with. Never for Superman, but for GL... I could dig it.

I don't see Caviezel as Hal Jordan at all, partly because he has more of a Superman/Batman look to him. And I really just don't see him successfully channeling Hal's personality. Not to mention the possibility that being rejected from the Superman role may have left a bad taste in his mouth regarding the superhero genre.

But seriously, whatever happened to his career? Did Passion of the Christ just completely kill it? Going on 5 years now he hasn't had anything really noticeable.

[Eddie Dean]

 

[Webhead2006]

thanks i was just wondering which of the funky alien gls it was.

 

[Octoberist]

how about that Chipmunk GL?

 

[Lobo]

His name is Ch'p

I'd include him in a list of Corps members, that I don't want to see.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

They go to the same barber shop.

 

[Lane & Kent]

Sam Jaeger is starting to grow on me.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea if we are to see a bunch of the more alien looking gls i too hope they still to the more humanoid looking ones and leave out the funky animal looking ones for atless the first film.

 

[dnno1]

I don't get why some of the Hype love Caviezel so much....

Because he looks the part.

 

[Double Down]

Here is another one:

No thank you.

 

[Octoberist]

I feel bad for Jim; his career is not going anywhere.

 

[Savage]

Eh. Everyone has a bad picture somewhere.

 

[I Am The Knight]

He looks like Dr. Hurt there.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Pardon my question, but this is for all the people advocating Sam Worthington as Hal..........

Are your suggestions just solely based of the fact that he's about to be seen in T:S and Avatar, or have any of you actually seen him in anything?
