^ That's great.

Ken Wantanabe as Sinestro is a really interesting choice!

 

[NotFadeAway]

So who is rumored to play Carol Ferris? There has to be some name dropping.

 

[Webhead2006]

only name we have heard for carol is rose bryne who is a favorite of campbell.

Rose Byrne would be a fine choice indeed.

Because it's been awhile since I read the script, I forget if it will require a Carol Ferris with some real acting chops, or if a hott piece of poongtang can pull it off as long as there is some charisma and ability to emote. And if the role doesn't require an actress with the greatest of acting ability, I'd like to throw Emmanuelle Chriqui's name out there. She looks the part, is sexy as hell, she does have a charismatic charm to her, and I think she would work well with Reynolds. Plus, she has been my celeb crush for some time now and I would like to see her have a big part in a movie that doesn't happen to be "Don't Mess with the Zohan".

 

[Webhead2006]

i rather take someone with the skills and the look. then just looking hot and no skills.

 

[terry78]

Watanabe actually makes sense. Though if the rest of the Kouragans speak perfect english it may come off a tad weird, but can be explained.

 

[Webhead2006]

yup

we'll see what happens because nothing came out of that rumor so far (confirmation from other movie sites for example)

 

[Nightwing 52]

I wouldn't mind Byrne:

Yeah actually there was. It was from Empire.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Byrne is my first choice. It would be a great project for her anyway. Let her be known to the masses and play a character whi's a great fit. I could definitely see Reynolds sparring with her.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea rose and ryan probably would make a great match together in the film if she is picked. if not i hope they pick someone who has good on set/screen chemistry with ryan i dont want to see another kate b in a superhero film.

Doug Jones comments on Green lantern rumors:

Which part are you going to play in the “Green Lantern” movie?
Am I going to play a part in the “Green Lantern” movie? I did hear such a rumor a couple of months ago, but no one has called me regarding this one yet. But if there’s a character I’m right for, I’d be quite interested to hear about it.

 

[Octoberist]

good find.

I doubt he could do Green Lantern if he's doing the Hobbit,which should start filming near the same time.

 

[Webhead2006]

well if he does do hobbit whos to say he couldnt do gl. Like for example if he did gl and for abin sur they would probably only need him for like 1-2 days max probably for crashing to earth/dying scenes. Compared to say one of the other alien gls who might have a bigger role.

 

[Dark Knight]

Been re watching some of season 2 of LOST and I actually think Evangeline Lilly would be a solid choice as Carol Ferris.

 

[Webhead2006]

she would be nice carol but doubt she would do it, like i said over in carol/lois lane threads she wants to do less work post lost and all that.

 

[Dark Knight]

Maybe someday they would consider her for WW?

She has a nice little body on her and she seems to be athletic.

 

[Webhead2006]

totally she a well actress, has a great body, is in good age range for at least 5-6 more years in target range studio would like want for lois/ww/etc.... roles. But like i said right now it looks like she wants to do smaller/less acting once lost is totally finished or is finished. Doing a show like that probably was crazy long days, stunt work, etc.......

 

[alexdunn]

She's not really a great actress, but she's new and she's hot.
