Female Lead For ‘Green Lantern’ Down To Five Potentials

Latino Review has an exclusive look at who might be Carol Ferris, the lucky lady that doesn’t get the ring from Ryan Reynold’s “Hal Jordan” in the upcoming Green Lantern film from DC Entertainment and Warner Bros.
Ferris has been described as “the daughter of aerospace mogul Carl Ferris. She works for her dad’s company Ferris Air, got an Mba, and has a lifetime crush on Hal Jordan.” The website seems to believe that the role comes down to the following five actresses: Eva Green, Keri Russell, Diane Kruger, Blake Lively or Jennifer Garner.
Each of these actresses has had a taste of the action genre (if not a comic book film or two, in Garner’s case) except for Blake Lively. Being from the TV show Gossip Girl and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants films, she might be a good choice as there’s no

5 Actresses Up For Green Lantern Role

»
A casting notice including Green Lantern's love interest Carol Ferris was found in September, and it appears that Warner Brothers has narrowed its selection to five actresses. According to Latino Review, either Eva Green (Casino Royale), Keri Russell (Mission Impossible III), Jennifer Garner (Elektra), Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds), or Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) will play the part.
Our thoughts: Garner is certainly no stranger to comic book movie fans, but Elektra left a lot to be desired, while Russell provided the voice of Wonder Woman in the animated movie Warners and DC released this year. Kruger had a star-making turn in Basterds, while Lively seems ... largely out of place here. Green may have the upper hand considering that she worked with director Martin Campbell before on Casino Royale. Still, the casting will likely be contingent on how the ladies match up with Ryan Reynolds.
Which actress do you think should get the role?

Blake Lively Among Contenders to Be 'Green Lantern' Girlfriend

Words on the street, "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively could join Ryan Reynolds in the cast ensemble for "Green Lantern". According to Latino Review, the 22-year-old beauty who has just appeared in "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" is among five candidates who have a chance to take the role of Carol Ferris, the love interest of Hal Jordan/Green Lantern.
However, Lively would not get that role easily as she has to compete with Eva Green, the James Bond's girl in 2006 "Casino Royale", and Jennifer Garner, the depicter of female international assassin in "Elektra". Then, "Mission: Impossible 3" star Keri Russell and Diane Kruger who played Helen in "Troy" are reportedly also named on the list of contenders to be the leading lady in the upcoming superhero flick.
On the script, Carol is described as the daughter of aerospace mogul Carl Ferris. "She works for her father's company Ferris Air,

El Mayimbe over Latino Review has posted an exclusive report on the pool of actresses that are said to be in the final rounds of consideration for the role of Carol Ferris, the lady love interest of The Green Lantern, Hal Jordan.
Now, the list of actresses who will possibly star opposite Ryan Reynolds (who will be playing Hal Jordan) is a pretty nice collection of former or current TV and/or film stars. All of them are hot – some of them are even good actresses. We have a nice set of photos for you to look over and consider, which is certainly not a bad way to start your Monday.
If you remember, we got our first notion of how Carol Ferris would be portrayed in The Green Lantern earlier this fall when the casting call for Green Lantern supporting roles was released. here’s what the filmmakers said

A "Green Lantern" role could be on the way for 22-year-old Blake Lively. Latino Review has just come out with a scoop that the Serena van der Woodsen of The CW's "Gossip Girl" is one of the five actress being considered to take on the part of Hal Jordan's love interest in the superhero movie.

Jennifer Garner fell pregnant with Ben Affleck's baby just eight days after the couple decided to start a family.

"We were like, 'Let's have a baby!' And eight days later..."
The Hollywood couple, which wed in June 2005, also has a second daughter, Seraphina, 11 months.

Trailer: The King of Fighters

Old school video game fans are not going to be happy with this! A trailer for the live-action adaptation of the classic Snk 2D fighting game The King of Fighters has surfaced online and it looks as though it’s a serious contender for the worst video game-to-film adaptation ever made.
Starring Sean Faris (Never Back Down), Maggie Q (Live Free or Die Hard), Will Yun Lee (Elektra), and martial arts expert Ray Park (Darth Maul from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace), The King of Fighters is directed by Gordon Chan, who although was behind the terrible Jackie Chan film The Medallion, also made the much loved Jet Li classic Fist of Legend.
The film’s premise is wildly different from the game it’s based upon. According to Movieset:

The King of Fighters Promo Trailer, Starring Ray Park and Maggie Q

This promo trailer for Gordon Chan's upcoming King of Fighters---yes, yet another fighting game film adaptation---is both simultaneously hilarious in its total cheese-factor, and also totally depressing when you remember that this guy directed Fist of Legend. Our friends over at Quiet Earth dug up this trailer, and I agree with them that this looks like the second coming of Corey Yuen's D.O.A: Dead or Alive.
That could either be great news, terrible news, or a bit of both. I'm leaning towards the latter.
Even as a fan of the Snk King of Fighters video game series that this film is based on, I can barely tell what's going on in this trailer. The film stars Sean Faris (Never Back Down) as Kyo Kusanagi (in the games he was the leader of the Japan team. So, um, yah...), Will Yun Lee (Elektra, Bionic Woman) as Kyo's rival Iori Yagami,

Stars in Rewind: Ken Ober & 'Remote Control'

Attention children of the '80s: If you haven't already heard, television's Ken Ober died at the age of 52. The cause of death is not yet determined, although his agent noted that Ober "complained of headaches and flu-like symptoms on Saturday night." While he produced shows like Mind of Mencia and The New Adventures of Old Christine, he's probably best known for his time as the host of MTV's '80s quiz show: Remote Control.
Remember it? Three players would get strapped into arm chairs, answer questions about television and film (basically anything that could be found on TV), find food raining down on their heads, and get entertained by the likes of Colin Quinn, Kari Wuhrer, Denis Leary, and Adam Sandler. It was part classic MTV ridiculousness, and part media junky geek party.
In memory of the host and show, I thought I'd take us back in time for

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" star Jessica Biel, gave thumbs up for Ben Affleck's taste in woman and addressed Ben's wife, Jennifer Garner, as her girl crush. However, Jessica insisted that she's no competition for Ben because she isn't sexually attracted to Jennifer and her admiration for the "Elektra" star is purely platonic.
Jessica, who is now dating Justin Timberlake, said, "My girl crush is Jen Garner at the moment (but) here's the thing with girl crushes: it's more of a respect thing." She continued, "It's like, you're beautiful, you're cool, you look and seem like somebody I would want to hang out with and your career is awesome."
On November 10, Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner were spotted breaking bread together at Madeo in Los Angeles. The two actresses were co-stars in the star-studded Garry Marshall's movie, "Valentine's Day", which will be released in the U.S. on February

With the doors of ER’s County General Hospital now forever closed, poor old Goran Visnjic – who played dishy doc Dr. Luka Kovac – has had to find a new home. And it looks like he’s decided to give the big screen one last try by signing on to join Ewan McGregor, Christopher Plummer and Inglourious Basterds star, Melanie Laurent, in Beginners.Mike Mills – the director of Thumbsucker, not to be confused with R.E.M.’s frizzy-haired bassist – is directing the indie movie, whose plot is being kept very firmly under wraps, from his own script. Filming has already begun in L.A.Visjnic, thus far, hasn’t exactly set the movie world alight. He’s had bad guy turns in the likes of Practical Magic and The Deep End, was the love interest in the risible Elektra, and impressed in Michael Winterbottom’s Welcome To Sarajevo. But, now

Filming on the Vancouver set of "Eclipse" is getting close to winding down after a nearly three-month shoot, but vampire casting news continues to trickle in. The latest addition to the "Twilight" family is 19-year-old Kirsten Prout, who will play the role of Lucy, according to a report from E! News.
Prout is best known as a co-star of the ABC Family sci-fi series "Kyle Xy," in which she played Amanda Bloom, a neighbor and love interest of Kyle, the cloned human at the center of the action. She appeared alongside Jennifer Garner in 2005's "Elektra," and in his review for that movie, Kurt Loder called her "plucky in an agreeably unirritating way" and said she "suggests a pint-size Renée Zellweger."

Not sure how we missed this story earlier in the week, but it did break the day after the Reaper Awards, so you can't blame us for moving a little slowly. In any event, it looks like The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has found its Lucy, Canadian actress Kirsten Prout.
Bloody Disgusting got the early word on Prout's selection, mentioning her past roles as Amanda in the TV series "Kyle Xy" and Elektra's ward Abby. But how exactly does Lucy fit into the Eclipse storyline?
Turning to the always helpful Twilight Saga Wiki for some assistance, we learned that Lucy was a Southern vampire who worked with Maria (Catalina Sandino Moreno), the vamp who made Jasper (Jackson Rathbone), one of Edward's "siblings" in the Cullen family. She helped put together an army for Maria before eventually turning on her and being killed by Maria and Jasper. Since the character is described as tall,
