My huge man-crush on Reynolds makes this good news to me. It's supposedly not completely final, though, going by the \"If the deal is completed..\" part in the article.
If a movie doesn't deserve to be in development * it's Green Lantern, dammit!!

But yeah, I don't see why they couldn't have cast, say, Nathan Fillion.

All those fans guaranteed the firefly universe would go on with the success of Serenity......ThatNickGuy said:Really? I would and several friends of mine on Facebook also said they'd be totally down for Fillion. So would a lot of Firefly, Serenity and Dr. Horrible fans.
I'm sure the $10,000,000 opening weekend of Serenity is really convincing to studios that Fillion is a leading man with drawing power.ThatNickGuy said:Really?

The Proposal has been out for less than a month and has made over $100 million.ThatNickGuy said:Because Reynolds brings in the gold when it comes to...what movies he's starred in?
That's so adorable that you think that movie quality translates to box office success.ThatNickGuy said:If the movie is good, then it wouldn't matter who is in the suit.
I never said anything about who would do a better job. I don't know shit about Green Lantern! It's just ludicrously obvious that Reynolds would make the movie a bigger success.I'm not saying that Reynolds can't do a good job, I'm just saying that I believe Fillion would do better. At that point, it would just a matter of word of mouth that puts asses in seats.
RR is no Will Smith, but I'm just saying he's infinitely more popular and successful than Nathan Fillion, whose ONLY movie was undeniably a gigantic flop.Reynolds has been in successful movies that he hasn't starred in, but he's not exactly a box office hit, either..
But I wanna see Castle Season 2SeraRelm said:So cast Fillion as the Green Lantern, then kill him when they're done with his scenes.
WE MUST PROVE CHARLIE WRONG!
Yeah, but Heath really could act. Ryan Reynolds kinda just does the same thing in every movie - his roles are practically interchangeable. What he does isn't Hal Jordan. Jordan was a prick when he was young, but changed pretty quickly. Reynolds - he...just can't act mature and serious.Gusto said:Heath Ledger will be a terrible Joker.
...wait, what year is it? What are we talking about?
Looking at Reynolds' history, I don't think you can say he's played the same role everytime. His character in Defitely, Maybe was nothing like Van Wilder, which was nothing like Deadpool in Wolverine, which was nothing like... you get the point. I suspect he has the talent, but hasn't been given the opportunity. Your argument supports the idea that he is typecast, but not necessarily one-dimensional as an actor.Zappit said:Yeah, but Heath really could act.

Pffft... the thread title for that one was "3 Potential Lanterns of Sector 2814"... you know what that SCREAMS to me? Green Lantern COMIC spoilers. Where does it say it's about the movie?? I'm waiting for the whole Black Lantern Corps thing to be out and finished with before I read the whole thing in a TPB, I'm not gonna touch any GL comic threads with a 10 foot mouse cursor until I'm sure I won't get spoiled.
You guys fail for burying the news inside a stupidly named thread. :humph:

I saw it twice and told everyone I know to go see it.
I've read a copy of the early script and it is centered around Hal Jordan. Of course, it might have changed since this draft, but I'm thinking they'll stick with Hal.phil said:I'm counting on Adventureland to pop into my local dollar theater.
Do we even know if Ryan will be Hal or just GL and for all we know he's going to play a white John Stewart?
On a semi-related note, can Justin Timberlake act? I've only seen him on SNL, but they were considering him for this too. I'm guessing it was more because of how big he is though as a name.
Well, keep in mind that from 1996-2005 Hal Jordan was dead/the spirit of God's vengeance. It probably would have been weird to feature a character in the animated world, which is largely aimed at a younger audience, who is then dead/something completely different in the comic world.Aisaku said:I'm more worried about the script, all the acting in the world can't save a terrible script. I'm worried how far they'll go to make the Green Lantern concept accesible to the movie going crowd. I know this isn't Bay, but stil...
To Ryan Reynolds favor all the interviews I've read of him he's really into comics so that might work towards him to get Hal just right. It does make me wonder why DC at large ignores Hal Jordan in its animated features, and when he does appear it's not quite him (JL The New Frontier)
He was good in Black Snake Moan. I heard he was also good in Alpha Dog, but I can't say for certain as I didn't see that.phil said:On a semi-related note, can Justin Timberlake act?

It's kind of like how in the Batman cartoon * Grayson was robin, then they changed things like the animation style a bit and Tim Drake was the next Robin. They skipped over Jason Todd completely 'cause well, he was dead. I believe he got better though.
He plays Rick Castle, the lead on a detective show on ABC that actually had decent ratings and was renewed for a second season.Chazwozel said:Who the fuck is Nathan Fillion?

Unpopular? That's all I've been hearing about Bruno.Charlie Dont Surf said:Well, I'm glad to be wrong!
I saw Bruno last night, and I think I'm going to take the unpopular opinion that it was better than Borat.

Me too! Except for the ending, which I felt extended too far to reach the ending it wanted to have. [spoiler:35w1fc5q]I personally think it should have ended when they were all sitting on the field; I don't think they should have got together and I thought him saying fuckit and flying out to New York was tacky.[/spoiler:35w1fc5q]Espy said:Saw it.Charlie Dont Surf said:Ryan Reynolds showed a lot of depth and range in Adventureland, but absolutely no one saw that movie except for me(3 times)

I loved it, honestly. Happily saw it in theatres, bought it (previously viewed) on DVD and never get tired of watching it. It's like a modern version of an old drive in horror flick, but very tongue-in-cheek. Check it out sometime, bud.Kissinger said:I've been wanting to see Slither. :/
