Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern - Fan Art

Josh MC created this cool picture. It's fan made so not official in any way, but it gives us a good idea as to what we may be seeing on the big screen before too long.

What do you think of the pic?

Deadpool is Green Lantern

Warner Bros. has settled on Ryan Reynolds as its choice to play Green Lantern. The film is being directed by Martin Campbell and produced by Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti.

Reynolds and his camp entered negotiations for the part Friday, after the studio held two rounds of screen tests, along with actors Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. Justin Timberlake also did a screen test.

The studio had holding options on the actors, but, except for Reynolds, those expired Monday. Reynolds’ option would have expired end of day Friday.

THR say that if the deal is completed, it would make Reynolds the only actor to have played heroes for both Marvel and DC. He recently starred in a comic book movie, Fox's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where he played "the merc with a mouth" Deadpool. The character is now being developed for a spin-off to which Reynolds is attached. He also played Marvel’s vampire hunter Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity.

Out of Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds is the best choice for Hal Jordan. Unexpected, but the best choice. Note though that the deal has yet to be fully completed, but it does look very likely. Hopefully, it won't effect the Deadpool movie too much. Luckily they sre characters from different universes plus Deadpool is scarred and masked for most of the time.

How do you feel about Reynolds as Hal Jordan?

Who will the bearer of a Black Lantern?

DC are currently running a story line in Green Lantern that involves a lot more Lantern Corps - Red Lanterns for anger, Pink for love, Blue for hope etc.

The Black Lanterns are those that represent death and it looks as if all the dead heroes and villains will be zombiefied and rise again as Black Lanterns. The picture above from Green Lantern #43 (via DC's Source blog) shows just who can expect to see. It will feature the birth of the first Black Lantern. “Discover who he is and just what his connection to death — and in turn, the Black Lantern Corps — really is.”

I've been enjoying the series so far for its huge scope and cosmic sensibilities. Hal Jordan, last I saw, had both a Green and a Blue power ring. I do have a bit of a dreadful feeling though that Hal will get all of the rings and become a Rainbow Lantern or maybe a White Lantern. White Lantern may work.

Green Lantern moving forward with a budget of $150 million.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. and DC Comics' Green Lantern will be made at Fox Studios Australia in Sydney, New South Wales.

Martin Campbell, director of "Casino Royale," will be at the helm of the comic book's big screen adaptation, working from a script by Greg Berlanti and Michael Green. Donald Deline will produce with a reported budget of $150 million.

Quite a big budget and it will go a long way down under as it should receive the Australian federal government's 15% location rebate on top of the incentives supplied by the New South Wales government to bring the project to Fox.

The film will also create around 500 jobs and include a "substantial investment" in digital effects work in Australia.

Pre-production on "Green Lantern" is set to begin in July, and filming scheduled to start in November. Warner hopes to release the film in December 2010.

Great news that this is moving forward. I do hope they keep it space bound for a big chunk of the film. Let's see some major sci-fi in a comic book film.

Still no word on who will play Hal Jordan. Any ideas?

Could those who worship evil's might beware Chris Pine's power, Green Lantern's light!

There was a rumour a little while back that a crew member of the Star Ship Enteprise could be in the running for the most powerful weapon in the Universe - a Green Lantern's power ring. That person was Anton Yelchin (Chekov). The internet generally said, "What the..?!" Now it looks as if half of that rumour is totally incorrect. It won't be the weapons officer it's the Captain. Kirk to be exact.

IESB.net has posted a rumor that Star Trek's Chris Pine ("James T. Kirk") is being eyed as the title character in Warner Brothers' upcoming Green Lantern movie.

Pine would play Hal Jordan, a pilot who finds a powerful ring and its lantern-like battery when a spaceship crashes on Earth. Jordan is selected to succeed the craft's dying occupant as the next Green Lantern, a galactic guardian who is a member of an interstellar corps, the site reported, citing an anonymous source.

The movie has set up production offices and is on track to start shooting in September in Australia for the previously announced 17th December 2010 release date.

Pine is reportedly at the top of a list that also supposedly includes Terminator Salvation's Sam Worthington.

Neither Pine or Worthingtom seem Hal Jordanny enough. They are apparantly going for someone under 30 so Nathan Fillion and Aaron Eckhart are out. I just don't know. Would you be happy with Chris Pine as the Green Lantern of sector 2814? If not him who could it be?

Green Lantern may be the start of a linked DC Universe on screen

Donald De Line, producer behind Green Lantern, gave fans an idea of what to expect in terms of tone and content from the next live-action superhero film to come from Warner Brothers. De Line was promoting I Love You, Man when the folks at Collider snuck a few Green Lantern questions in on him.

De Line confirmed that the film would feature the Hal Jordan version of Green Lantern, and also said that the film would be an action/adventure piece with a good deal of character based humor. He also said that it isn't "dark", and said that the tone will probably be similar to that of Marvel's recent Iron Man. This news will undoubtedly be a comfort to fans who worried that Warner Brothers was going to put a The Dark Knight-style veil of darkness over all of their future superhero films.

It was also confirmed that Martin Campbell would direct the film, and he said that they had a production designer and a costume designer on the film already, as well as a date on the release calendar. De Line went on to say that they were going to Australia to scout in the next week.

Finally, and perhaps most significantly, De Line suggested that with Green Lantern, Warner Brothers may be taking a page out of Marvel's book and integrating their films, similar to how this past summer's The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man tied together, loosely. De Line specifically said "I haven't gone there because I'm just doing Green Lantern, but DC Comic is a part of Warner Bros. and they both have a very large agenda with that. So I think they've got all kinds of things in the works. Yeah, definitely."

Ryan Gosling could be Green Lantern

Latino Review have some news that Warner Brothers is looking at Ryan Gosling for the main role as Hal Jordan. This hasn't been officially confirmed, but is apparantly from a good source.

I know Ryan has won an Oscar and has had good reviews for all the films he has been in (Lars and the Real Girl, Notebook, Half Nelson etc). However, I personally just don't picture him as the Green Lantern. I know that's just a looks thing and he'll probably act it out of the park, but for the moment it just doesn't grab me. If anything I could see him more as Sinestro.

What do you think of the news? Good or bad news for Green Lantern?

Green Lantern Concept Art

This from Film School Rejects:
"...under the right circumstances, he too can rise out of cinematic ashes and become another great comic book movie franchise. The Green Lantern movie, which is being targeted for a 2010 release, is currently on the books with “Everwood” and “Eli Stone” creator Greg Berlanti attached to write and direct.
And in order to get the job, Berlanti had to give one hell of a pitch to Warner Bros., as his resume doesn’t exactly scream big budget comic book movie. As part of that pitch, Berlanti enlisted the help of illustrator Brian Murray, who drew up a sampling of concept art that helped Berlanti secure the project. Earlier today, Murray posted some of the concept art to his website, MurrayStudios.com. "
