Green Lantern Review Thread (Spoilers)

[GLaDOS]

Stop it with the pictures, guys! It's making me LMFAO!!!

I was pulling for Cooper, but looks like it's Reynolds. Hopefully this kills Fox's awful Deadpool movie. It had no hope in that studio anyways. And for the record, I liked JT as a consideration. He's not a bad actor at all, just not ready for this movie though.

You can probably change the title of this thread.

Ryan Reynolds has landed the coveted role of “Green Lantern,” getting the starring role in Warner Bros.' live-action film based on the DC Comics hero.

Martin Campbell will direct. The studio is still working on the picture’s budget, but production is expected to begin in January.

The news caps off a memorable summer for Reynolds, who played Deadpool in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” a performance that prompted Fox to begin development on a spinoff film. Reynolds followed that by starring opposite Sandra Bullock in the romantic comedy “The Proposal,” which crossed the $100 million mark this week.

Warners and Campbell chose Reynolds, who vied for the superhero role along with “The Hangover” star Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. The momentum built for Reynolds in the last week, as he was the only actor whose option was extended.

Greg Berlanti wrote the script with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green. Donald DeLine will produce with Berlanti. Reynolds’ reps at UTA are working out his deal.

The actor will next star in “Buried,” a dark indie drama that will begin filming shortly in Barcelona with Spanish director Rodrigo Cortes. Reynolds will play a civilian contractor who is kidnapped in Iraq and awakes in a coffin, struggling against time to coordinate a rescue even though he doesn’t know where he’s buried in the desert.

I too would rather have someone else. He's good enough as just Deadpool; give someone else a chance.

Feel bad for Bradley Cooper...he deserves a breakthrough role

Cooper would be great for the role plus Reynolds is already a comic book character (Deadpool).

Still, I think Nathan Fillion would have the best choice but what are you going to do

[Grevlin]

Too much superhero jazz for one dude at the same time.

+1 over the other three choices o well.

I like Ryan Reynolds, but I kind of agree. Let someone else do it since he has the role of Deadpool. It's kinda like casting Bale as Superman even though he is Batman. Should have different actors for each super hero.

[PS3-Playb3yond]

WHAT?!!! Shocking! Not the one I was expecting to get the part but, oh well, I think he can do it.

How can he play Deadpool and Green Lantern? That's amazing!

I'm just relieved it's not going to be Justin Timberlake.

[Grevlin]

I've also never seen Reynolds able to pull off a truly powerful emotional moment in a movie. He tried at the end of Smokin' Aces - but just did not have the intensity. IMO

It may result in that "something is missing" feeling.

+1 I still think his roll in Southland Tales is his best try to date.
