The Official Peter Sarsgaard & Hector Hammond Thread

[protocida]

Since Sinestro has his own thread, i figured that the Green Lantern movie main antagonist deserves one as well. In this thread, let's discuss Hector Hammond. Let's talk Casting, characterization, appearance, Portrayal and much more. t:

I created a poll with the Casting suggestions i remembered. Feel free to add more.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Haha! At this rate freakin' Goldface'll have his own thread! Only jokin'... Good thread!

Yeah, i'm gonna stick with Sean Penn...

It should follow Johns' Secret Origin Model. He begins a self-deluded, pathetic loser everybody quietly laughs at, has the accident and becomes more and more drunk on his new found power, not to mention increasingly deformed, he's spurned by Carol Ferris and flips leading into the final showdown at which point he is insanely powerful and truly deranged!
And Yes! He knows Hal is GL!

 

[Eddie Dean]

My first choice is Andy Serkis, but I wouldn't really object to anyone on the poll.

David Thewlis and Hugh Lauire are two other suggestions.

 

[Lane & Kent]

Jon Hamm.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Yay! Green Lantern is conquering the Misc. DC Films board! At this rate they'll HAVE to give us our own board!

 

[Chris B]

Voted Giamatti. Though I think Hamm would be an interesting choice.

 

[Octoberist]

I've always thought that Hammond is kinda..uninteresting as a character.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I've always thought that Hammond is kinda..uninteresting as a character.

Nah, he's great! He's like GL's Hannibal Lector! With a touch of Scanners thrown in there! How can you not like that?
If they use him in this one expect through-the-glass 'Quid Pro Quo' style scenes between them in sequels...

 

[Lobo]

Paul Giamatti my first choice

 

[Webhead2006]

hopefully if the film is a go in a few months they find the right person for the role. As for this thread i would say shouldnt we wait to shh makes official gl section before we have threads like this.

 

[protocida]

No.

 

[cerealkiller182]

I hit Jon Hamm by accident cause I was thinking about Hank Henshaw

David Thewlis is Hector Hammond

 

[Changeling]

Hell yeah. I voted Paul Giamatti, but Thewlis would rock my socks off!

 

[Eddie Dean]

For a younger actor, I'll throw out Peter Sarsgaard.

 

[Changeling]

Yeah he'd fit nicely.

 

[Webhead2006]

i forgot what range were they looking for the character in the first draft script?

 

[Kevin Smith]

What about Robert Knepper:

And whoever suggested Sean Penn...that was genius.

 

[Bren]

David Thewlis is Hector Hammond

Agreed 100%

 

[Jake Cassidy]

What about Robert Knepper:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0460694/

He's Dr. Light.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

He's Dr. Light.

He sure is.

As for Hector Hammond, I like Paul Giamatti for the role.

 

[Lobo]

What about Robert Knepper:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0460694/

He's Dr. Light.

And what movie is Dr. Light appearing in?

He would do a excellent job in the role. My fear would be that his performance would be so great that you would want him to be the recurring villain in subsequent films (ala Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor), when Sinestro should be.

Thats a real concern, but now you mention it he'd be a damn good Sinestro too.

 

[Webhead2006]

And what movie is Dr. Light appearing in?

Dr. light isnt appearing in any films at this time being, and he is a a jl and teen titans villain.

 

[Changeling]

Lol yeah he was kidding. As in, Why would you care if he's Dr. Light because hes not appearing in anything..Lol
Btw: Lobo, you should do waht you did in the Flash thread and add some more Hammond choices to the poll
