The official Josh Brolin for Green Arrow THREAD

[LeChuck]

For a long time I've been in support of an older actor playing Green Arrow, because I'm a purist and one of my favorite things about the character is that he's this older father figure with a lot of personal beliefs and issues and the abilitiy to kick ass. I just had no idea who should play him. Until today, when I saw American Gangster.

Josh Brolin is PERFECT for green arrow. He has that charisma, that determination, that badass atitude, and he could effectively play the father/in over his head midlife crisis green arrow that I want to see on screen.
So thus begins the campaign. I know Hollywood doesn't usually listen to us, but when they do it leads to awesome results. That's why its time to unite behind me. BROLIN DAMNIT.

Sorta looks like a younger Nick Nolte.

If you'd seen some of his movies you'd know he's better suited for this kind of role than Nick Nolte (no offense though, I know a lot of people liked Hulk). I just think he's a really great actor and he has the chops and he's at the perfect age to play green arrow.

I cud see it, I guess. I kinda always wanted Dennis Leary as Green Arrow but I'm pretty sure that will NEVER EVER happen. Brolin is someone I never thought of, but Viggo Mortensen is a good fit to i think.

I'm not talking about his acting chops, simply his looks.

Eh, leary sounds like a dick in real life. This guy sounds cool, and has more of that green arrow atitude than leary.

 

[tyler-durden]

has the looks besides not being a blonde like oliver queen

 

[Darthkush]

I'm not opposed to it. It's not the best choice ever but it's a unique one that I think a lot of fans would probably embrace.

 

[tyler-durden]

the only other person I've heard for green arrow is Keifer Sutherland, But I could see this guy in the supermax film perfectly.

Yeah, I think Leary is a better fit for Green Arrow, too.

 

[daywalker2007]

yes, the goonie should be green arrow

goonie all the way!

 

[tyler-durden]

And we all know he'll never say die

"Michael...Michael..." Sorry, I just watch the Lost Boys again today LOL

I'd be down for Keifer Sutherland as Queen myself. I just see him having the swagger! t:

 

[cerealkiller182]

^^^^^Sutherland could definitely work.

 

[The Guard]

No.

 

[LeChuck]

No.

No for Sutherland for Arrow or Brolin for Arrow?

 

[The Guard]

I'm sorry. Let me elaborate:

No.

 

[StorminNorman]

Ewan McGreggor

 

[tyler-durden]

Green arrow should be about a five years younger tha this actors even though they are good choices, Brolin is 39, and sutherland is 40, Green Arrow should be about 34-35.

 

[Laderlappen]

He's married to Diane Lane. He must be one of the luckiest guys in the world.

 

[Sun_Down]

I'm not seeing any resemblance besides the beard. At all.

 

[tyler-durden]

If only it was blonde, someone do a manip with blonde hair NOW!!

 

[Joker]

he's too old.

 

[tyler-durden]

Yeah, he is but, he does somewhat have that look that's perfect.

 

[Joker]

if they did a DKR type thing, with an older one armed Ollie, they could easily throw some make up on him and he could be DKR GA
