[protocida]

I would be OK with that.

 

[The Major]

I would be OK with that.

Agreed.

 

[Webhead2006]

[Lane & Kent]

Me too webbhead2006

 

[Webhead2006]

IMDB doesn't always have fully accurate information on upcoming films, and filming schedules can of course change, but I had a look at the IMDB profiles of some of the actors mentioned here to see who would be available for a spring/summer shoot and who's already signed up for other films.

Available

Jensen Ackles
Josh Duhamel
Ryan Gosling
Jake Gyllenhaal
Chris Pine

Unavailable

Casey Affleck
Orlando Bloom
Chris Evans
Josh Hartnett
Sam Worthington

[GL's Light]

Yeah, I like Evans for the role, too. He's due to start filming Scott Pilgrim vs. the World in March. I don't know how big his part is, but it's presumably substantial. I suppose he could be available if Green Lantern only started shooting in July or so, but it seems likely that they'll get going faster than that if they get the final go-ahead.

 

[Kokomo29]

I read on a script review over at Latino Review that Alan Scott is in the movie also. Can anyone confirm that for me?

He has a cameo. As does Guy Gardner and Clark Kent.

 

[Dark Knight]

So, how would you guys feel with Keri Russell as Carol Ferris, she's just have to make her hair a little darker, but she's beautiful, talented, and the right age for the script.

She would be a good choice for Carol. I prefer Michelle Monaghan, but Keri Russell would do a solid job.

I'm thinking he may be the guy.

 

[Brian Braddock]

I guess I could dig that;

The funny thing is, in an age were we demand actors get in shape for these roles, has Gyllenhaal actually gone the opposite way and bulked up too much?

I saw a pic recently and,well, given his short stature [I'll try to find it]....................

 

[TheComicbookKid]

I don't know if Jake wants to take on two possible tentpole franchises yet. Bale waited until after Batman was firmly secured before tackling Terminator.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Found it:-

Currently too 'no-neck'/stocky for Hal imo.

 

[GL's Light]

Yeah, I'm not sure that Gyllenhaal is the sort of actor who would go right from one major FX film straight into another, especially since both are possible franchises. But you never know.

Since when is 6' short stature?

 

[Brian Braddock]

It is to me, at least.

Professionally or as a hobby?

If you're good at something, never do it for free.
