Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern!
« on: July 11, 2009, 04:51:10 AM »


from Variety

Quote
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.

A Canuck superhero?  I thought they preferred the arbitrational approach to things.

True, and I suppose a Canadian Green lantern is just Gordon Kirby (aka "The Jam") with a nifty ring.

There's a whole load of movies based on comics in the works, and a Green Lantern film could be great if done right. I'm really looking forward to see Josh Brolin as Jonah Hex (although that's tempered by the fact that Megan Fox is in it).

Actually, there are many Canadian superheroes...

Hell, here's a whole team of them called Alpha Flight:



And this guy's Canadian, too, but I can't remember his name:



And who could forget Captain Canuck?:

Geek alert!

>_<

I don't love Ryan Reynols, nor do I dislike him. So, I'm neutral. Which is sort of disappointing for Green Lantern because it would be fun if it was someone I could get overly excited about. But it's better then totally disliking someone in a role.

Hmm, with Ryan Reynolds personality (at least based on how he acts in some of his roles), I figured he'd be better suited for someone like Gambit or Bullseye.
