The Green Lantern List Show’s 3 In The Running for Hal Jordan
Yesterday it was leaked that Justin Timberlake was doing a screen test of the role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming Green Lantern project. Now we have an official short list from the production courtesy of THR.
It turns there is a name that we have yet to hear on the list and that is Ryan Reynolds. The other 2 names include Timberlake and Bradley Cooper.
“The studio ordered up two rounds of screen tests with Cooper, Reynolds and Timberlake. Other actors in the early mix included Michael Fassbender, Henry Cavill and Jared Leto.
Apparently, De Line, Campbell and the studio each had a different favorite among the three finalists, making it difficult to come to a consensus.
Another issue impacting the casting process is the rising budget. “Lantern” is a full-blown space epic that is expected to cost between $150 million and $200 million, if not more. Warners would like to have the production costs at a reasonable level before proceeding.
The studio has scheduled the movie for a December 2010 opening.”
I am gonna go ahead say Reynolds would be great being his humor really fits the character and how it is written, he also has the physical look for him. However I think Marvel will object to their Deadpool crossing into DC and playing a hero. I think he would be good though.
Timberlake could be good but he’s too tiny and just has a weird look to him that would be a different way to go for the character - he’d make a better Kyle Rayner than Hal Jordan.
I gonna go on a whim and say that Bradley Cooper is going to be the guy they role with. I think he has the best look of the three. Bradley Cooper for Green Lantern Begins now.
Who do you think is the best on the Green Lantern short list?
