I don't mind it being Hal as its who it all started with. But I'm fond of Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner.

There's never been a character in comics more patronizingly and embarrassingly emo as Kyle Raynor. A Guy movie, on the other hand, would be quite awesome.

Guy is awesome. Even a cameo of Guy will blow people away if he's done true to his character.



Spoiled for size and Cartoon Buttucks. Kinda NSFW but not really...

lol I just watched this again with a friend...that is the poster child for how NOT to do Guy Gardner

Brian Austin Green wants to play Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern live-action film and he wants to know how fans of the character would feel about that?

Wow! he would be great for that part! (BAG)

Oh that's not an ironic comment. I'm a big Sarah Connors Chronicles fan, and he was really great in that show.

As officially announced by New South Wales premier Nathan Rees, the film version of DC Comics’ Green Lantern will be filmed at Fox Studios Australia in Sydney. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film version of DC’s space hero has a budget of $150 million – a figure that places the film ahead of Iron Man’s estimated budget of $140 million, and in line with the estimated production budget of Watchmen’s, which was also $150 million.

Rees said that the film’s production, directed by Casino Royale director Martin Campbell will create 500 jobs for the local economy, and THR reports that the film should be eligible to receive the 15% location rebate from the Australian government, in addition to incentives from the New South Wales government. In short, Warner Bros. will be getting more production for their money, thanks to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar.

Pre-production on the film is slated to begin in July, with filming on the film with a script by Greg Berlanti and Michael Green to begin in November. Currently, Green Lantern is scheduled to open on December 17th, 2010.

I always saw Denis Leary as Guy Gardner but he is a bit older these days...

Is Bradley Cooper Going To Wear Green Lantern's Ring?

Among up-and-coming actors, Bradley Cooper is certainly one with a bullet attached to his name.
His most high profile role as yet might be as Owen Wilson's rival in "Wedding Crashers," but he is building a nice resume and if Drew McWeeny at HitFix is to be believed, Cooper is the odds-on choice to play Hal Jordan in next winter's "Green Lantern."
Says McWeeny: "I've just spent the last hour or so on the phones, tracking down a rumor I heard, and HitFix can exclusively report that Bradley Cooper is now one of the guys most likely to don the suit and slip on the power ring as The Green Lantern for director Martin Campbell. Let's be clear: they have not hired him yet. But the process is far enough along that this is more than just a meeting or some spot on a wish list. Keep in mind that Campbell likes to see a lot of people when he's casting... and even when he's screen-testing, he seems willing to explore as many options as possible... but with the film set to shoot later this summer, they've got to start making their choices, and now's the time to put people in front of the camera and see who really works in the suit. I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I would bet that Cooper's going to be the guy."
Cooper, 34, has shown in his roles that he can play both cocky and charming, essential qualities for bringing Hal Jordan to life. It will be interesting to see if Cooper does indeed slip on Green Lantern's ring.

I thought he did well in Alias, but he doesn't seem like a good fit for Hal.

Agree. At first I say no. But I will keep an open mind, if he is the one, cause i think he could pull it off. Just not my first through tenth choice.

Agree with this... Not ready to scream to the high heavens (although Im sure thats going to be coming by many), but not who I would picture. We'll see though.

He's not who immediately would have popped into my head but I think Bradley Cooper can do this. So, if true, I'm cool with it.

Newsarama

Screenwriter Marc Guggenheim, who penned the Green Lantern script with co-writers Greg Berlanti and Michael Green, told Newsarama that while he can't comment on casting, he personally is hoping to see someone young enough to carry the role into future films.
"I would like to see someone who is, while not being baby-faced by any stretch of the imagination, I would personally like someone who's young enough to carry a franchise going forward," Guggenheim said.
Green said the hopes are to build a Green Lantern film franchise that can be carried into future films. "You always write a script with success in mind. And in film, success means future films," he said.

And regarding Worthington saying the script was still being worked on:

That "still doing the script" line shouldn't worry fans too much. Green and Guggenheim told Newsarama that their script has been finished for some time, but it's being refined to make shooting more realistic and to line up with the locations being scouted in Australia.
"We're doing, basically, the production pass," Green said. "It's a really fun process because you're taking the things that were still abstract and making it practical and real. We're thinking about it in terms of, 'how will we actually affect this?' as opposed to making it something we were trying to convince the studio to do. It's a nice part of the process because it's no longer a sales document; it's a production script."
Guggenheim said the three writers are meeting with Campbell and producer Donald De Line regularly. "We're constantly working on the script and making revisions per our collective discussions and things that are reflected by the other departments in the movie," he said. "It's actually going to be filmed. So that's what's fun and challenging. So we're just working away on it."

I don't think you quite grasp the concept of using bold in an article.

No, I do. I just felt like doing it that way. I was differentiating the part that I wrote.

This is cool. A fan made trailer using Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan.

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hTiRnqnvDs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hTiRnqnvDs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

Thats amazing. Fillion mentions it on twitter:

"I LOVE THIS! this guy rocks! http://tiny.cc/JIm1I Thanks for that."

I hope some higher ups see that and get some ideas.

I'd be onboard with Nathan as Hal too.

Nathan could pull off the whimsical as well as the serious in this role.

Fillion is older than what they are looking for.

From Aint It Cool News about Bradley Cooper:

The evening before our interview, I moderated a post-screening Q&A with Cooper after a showing of THE HANGOVER, and I said something to the effect of, "Well, after seeing all of the borderline-legal behavior in this, I think the only question I can ask you is, 'So, are you playing Green Lantern or what?'" The dude looked a little blindsided by the pseudo-joke question, but when the topic came up again courtesy of an audience member, his response was, "I really can't talk about it," said with a big smile on his face. That ain't a denial, folks.


And then, in the interview part:

Capone: Still, it's got to be flattering that people aren't hearing your name and generating a campaign against your name as Green Lantern. People seem cool with that notion.

BC: To be honest with you, I haven't read any of it; I've just heard it from friends. I just learned recently to try and not read anything, because it's never going to do you any good. Because if it's favorable and it makes you feel so good, it's going to kill you when it's not favorable. I learned that early on with "Alias"; I used to read all the message boards about the character I played, and, man, it just killed me. I mean, kiiiiiilled me.

Please....anybody BUT Fillion. I actually want to watch this movie. Not skip it.

I didn't even realize it was him in that show until one night a few weeks in I paid attention to the credits
