Official Green Lantern Casting and Discussion Thread

I honestly thought Reynolds would be more suited to Guy Gardner. But I still think he will do great as Hal.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeah, i feel good things too. He even looks a little like Secret Origins Hal.

 

[dnno1]

Yeah, it's been taken down now, anyways...

It's still there.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The hell is with that ******** cast?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Cho would be pretty good as Tom. But, yeah... We can do a bit better than that probably.

Hal Jordan/Green Lantern - Ryan Reynolds.
Carol Ferris - Rose Byrne.
Tom Kalmaku - Aaron Yo.
Hector Hammond - Karl Urban.
Martin Jordan - Nathan Fillion.
Helen Jordan - Susan Sarandon.
Carl Ferris - Victor Garber.
Abin Sur - Doug Jones.
Tomar-Re - Doug Jones.
Kilowog - Michael Clarke Duncan.
Sinestro - Jason Issacs.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Change Abin Sur to Lance Reddick and you got yourself the perfect cast list there, Prot.

I figured out what the green aura of the light should look like.
Take a gander at this.

See the cool blue line? Imagine that as neon green.
The constructs could have the same color.

I like that idea! That'd look awesome on the big screen.

 

[I Am Jack's...]

Hal Jordan/Green Lantern - Ryan Reynolds.
Carol Ferris - Rose Byrne.
Tom Kalmaku - Aaron Yo.
Hector Hammond - Karl Urban.
Martin Jordan - Nathan Fillion.
Helen Jordan - Susan Sarandon.
Carl Ferris - Victor Garber.
Abin Sur - Doug Jones.
Tomar-Re - Doug Jones.
Kilowog - Michael Clarke Duncan.
Sinestro - Jason Issacs.

That is some great casting. I would only prefer Michelle Monaghan/Rachel Weisz for Carol, and Dennis Haysbert for Kilowog. Otherwise, great cast.

How about Henry Rollins as Guy Gardner?

He played a loud mouthed cop on "The Chase", he played the loud mouthed Mad Stan on Batman Beyond, he could play the loud mouthed Green Lantern.

Spoiler

I think this is a recent image from a TV series he is on now:

 

[Doctor Jones]

No.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I think it's just crazy enough to work.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

No.

Agreed.

Rumors are swirling that the fairy tale love affair between Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds might be coming to an end. There have been numerous reports of ugly public spats between the two of late and now it appears as though a recent fight just prior to Comic-Con caused Reynolds to cancel his appearance because he didn't want to be around his delicious wife. Scarlett reportedly got so mad that she ripped off her wedding ring and threw it at him or something. And now the producers of Green Latern are pissed at Reynolds for canceling the promotional appearance over a fight with his wife. Now, I don't usually give two ****s about celebrity breakups, but these two potentially breaking up makes me kind of sad, which is sad in and of itself I guess.

yes, this is what we have to deal with now

 

[Doctor Jones]

That sounds really fake. And stupid. Or am I missing something?

 

[BlackLantern]

nope...they've been sighted fighting in public on multiple occasions over the past 2-3 weeks....if he cared about the role, he would have been there...the Con is big enough that you can avoid someone if you really want to

 

[spark627]

I have read this story on a few sites... I would feel bad if they divorced, they do a good job of keeping their lives private, plus they are cute together (they would have gorgeous kids). I find it odd that he just wouldn't show up to a panel he agreed to attend, that is the only part I don't believe. Every article and interview I have read, he seems extremely nice, normal and hard working, I can't imagine he would just skip it.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea well if his marriage just fell apart right there I wouldn't really blame him for not turning up to be honest.

 

[spark627]

Yea well if his marriage just fell apart right there I wouldn't really blame him for not turning up to be honest.

Well, yea, if they decided to get divorced on the spot, I agree. If it was just a fight... I dunno.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I've always thought Johanson would be one of those girls who'd be really hard to be around for extended periods of time. The kid of girl who thinks she's really deep and profound but is actually just really dumb.
Like Gwyneth Paltrow.
BUT! I could be wrong and it's none of my businesss...

 

[Showtime]

Meh. Gossip.

If he cared about the role?

I guess you've never been through a divorce or had marital problems, BL.

Hell, any even if the closest experience you've had to it is a breakup with a girlfriend, you should be able to identify [even just a little] with the turmoil the guy is going through - try multiplying that turmoil a hundredfold; then try and tell me it wouldnt have a detrimental affect your work, even just a little.

Yea well if his marriage just fell apart right there I wouldn't really blame him for not turning up to be honest.

Exactly.

There are some things bigger than making a public appearance at a Comic-Con.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Meh. Gossip.

Quite - could all be a load of **** at the end of the day.
