Marvel To DC – The Ryan Reynolds Story

Hey! Didn’t you know? Ryan Reynolds has been cast as the lead, Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, for DC Comics The Green Lantern film coming out in 2011. Pretty cool huh? Director Martin Campbell (Goldeneye, Casino Royale). There is a small article source at Variety if you don’t believe me.
Will the Real Hal Jordan Please Stand Up……

So rumors/news/movie talks have been discussing, WHO WILL BE THE GREEN LANTERN?!?! Welllll apparently the front runners are Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake. I don’t think Reynolds should hog all the superhero glory, since he is deadpool already. Timberlake would be ok, he’d really have to beef up more and get rid of that voice. Cooper would be decent, he is seeing a lot of action lately and would be a recognizable face, but there is something dry in his acting and he’s only done comedies in big movies. I wouldn’t mind seeing a no name actor, but we’ll find out. Hopefully DC and Warner Bros. don’t produce another Superman Returns like film and create something that can stand against Thor and Captain America when they also come out in 2011. That must be the year of the superhero?
Faster Than a Speeding Lawsuit?

So it appears that we will be getting another Superman movie sooner than we thought. Warner Bros. and DC Comics went against the heirs of the creators of the man of steel, Jerome Siegel. There was some legal issue with money of Smallville and some “sweetheart” rights and other legal mumbo jumbo, but it would go in favor of WB and DC against their plantiffs.
“The Court pointedly ruled that if Warner Bros. does not start production on another Superman film by 2011, the Siegels will be able to sue to recover their damages,” attorney Toberoff added. “The Siegels look forward to the remainder of the case, which will determine how much defendants owe them for their exploitations of Superman.”
