    Its about time, Marvel has been kicking DC ass in the superhero genre. GL has always been one of my favorites.

    is this going for like a DARK KNIGHT feeling to it or more like an bad ass IRON MAN type film?
  • Jim_Rohner · 7 months ago
    I still vote for Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan. Chris Pine is too young.

    no Chris Pine he looks like damn backstreet boy

    As long as Martin Campbell's directing this, I'm sure it's going to go the right away. Casino Royale was a darn good 'origins' movie of sorts.

    I love this site why because I got a lot of information from this site

    All I'm saying, is that Guy Gardner better show up. Even if it's a cameo that sets up something in a sequel, that would be fine. But dammit, I wanna see Guy in all his asshole-ish glory!
  • dragonmum · 7 months ago
    Ditto that! So there's a question: who do you see as Guy? If he wasn't already playing the merc-with-a-mouth, I'd pick Ryan Reynolds.

    Good question, Dragonmum. If I had my druthers, I would say Rowdy Roddy Piper (back in his They Live days). Nowadays though, maybe Seann William Scott (slap a bowl haircut on 'em. He's got the prickish attitude down when he played Stifler)? Or barring that (acting ability aside), maybe that guy who played Johnny Storm in the Fantastic 4 movies?

    Just DO NOT make Guy into The Warrior. Good Lord, we don't need that!
  • dragonmum · 7 months ago
    Now why didn't I think of Sean Wiliam Scott? You're right, he'd be better than Reynolds.

    Oh HELL no not the Warrior - that's when I stopped reading it. Why is it when a character finally gets his/her own book, the writing turns stupid??

    David Borenaz would be sweet as Green Lantern. And he's a huge fan of the character, too.
  • Aleric · 7 months ago
    I would agree with you on that one Steven, he also has the acting ability to pull it off.

    I liked David Boreanaz as Hal in the New Frontier. And hell, he looks like Hal in real life. So why not cast him? What if they cast Pine and Star Trek isn't as awesome as everyone hopes and his stock declines majorly? Granted, GL could pick it right back up, but still. I'd rather see someone who is more familiar and recognizable in the role. A.k.a, someone who's already played Hal.

    I like Boreanaz as an actor -- I've always been a huge fan of Angel and Bones, for example -- but I don't see him as Hal Jordan. Nathan Fillion seems a much better choice to me. Chris Pine? Maybe he could play Kyle Raynor, but he needs a few more years to pass as Hal Jordan. Seann William Scott as Guy Gardner is a very interesting suggestion. One thing I want to see is Jeffrey Combs as one of the Guardians. He's already comfortable with blue makeup from Star Trek Enterprise. :-)
