The rumor from Latino Review is that actor Ryan Gosling is being considered by Warner Brothers as the lead contender to play Hal Jordan in the Marc Guggenheim-penned adaptation.
Rumor on the internet is that Ryan Gosling will not be playing 'Green Lantern' in the upcoming movie. Producers apparently made an offer to Casey Affleck, who was awesome in 'Gone Baby Gone', but apparently that deal didn't work out either. No word on who the next candidate may be.
Warner Bros's upcoming superhero movie Green Lantern may feature a cameo appearance from Superman, reports MTV.
According to the film's screenwriter Marc Guggenheim, DC Comics's flagship hero makes a brief appearance in the script and the filmmakers are considering offering the part to Superman Returns star Brandon Routh or Smallville's Tom Welling.
Guggenheim said: "I love that stuff in general, and I think the fans would enjoy it. Brandon Routh or even Tom Welling [in Green Lantern] would be awesome. And anything is possible. The beauty part of being the writer, though, is that I don't actually have to make that judgment call."
He added: "You have to be careful when you do things like that, because it sounds great in concept, but when you sit down to watch it, it poses the danger of pulling you out of the film."
Green Lantern focuses on fighter pilot Hal Jordan, who is handed a ring that wields huge power. Studio Warner Bros is targeting a 2010 release for the blockbuster.
The guy who resurrected BOND twice is wanted for GREEN LANTERN!
Martin Campbell twice resurrected James Bond from franchise killing movies when he made GOLDENEYE and CASINO ROYALE, both times bringing the exact entertainment audiences wanted out of their 007 at a time when the future of the character was looking very bleak indeed.
If it wasn’t for Campbell, maybe we wouldn’t have James Bond movies still being made right now.
Now Warner Bros. want him for GREEN LANTERN, replacing Greg Berlanti who was the last director to be attached, though his script he co-wrote with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green is still expected to be used say Variety.
Campbell whose credits also include the two ZORRO movies and VERTICAL LIMIT, has just completed a remake of his own BBC thriller EDGE OF DARKNESS with Mel Gibson and Ray Winstone.
You can see why he has been chosen. He makes great character pieces (see his last Bond) which are stylish, grounded in reality (which will do what Nolan did for Batman here) and with top notch quality action.
The only thing I would say, is I hope he has a BIGGER VISION for this character, which is something he surely warrants. This is no ordinary superhero character.
The movie is now being fast tracked looking for a release in 2011
Michael Green, who is co-writing the upcoming film adaptation of DC Comics' Green Lantern, told reporters that the film is "moving forward."
"Green Lantern seems to be moving ahead," Green said in a conference call with reporters on Wednesday while promoting his upcoming NBC series Kings. "I love the material. I was fortunate enough to get to adapt something that I've loved for a long time."
Green added: "They have a director [GoldenEye's Martin Campbell] attached to it now and seem to be moving forward, they being Warner Brothers. And I hope they do, because, as a fan of [the character and title], I just want to see the movie."
Greg Berlanti wrote the script with Marc Guggenheim and Green. Donald DeLine will produce with Berlanti.
