Denzel Washington No Longer Unstoppable

13 July 2009 9:14 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

The trades are reporting that Denzel Washington has dropped out of Tony Scott’s Unstoppable, an action thriller that would have been the actor and director’s fifth collaboration, behind Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, Déjà Vu and The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. The film, which is loosely inspired by real events, centers on an experienced train engineer and a newbie conductor who end up in a race against time to stop an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train carrying enough combustible liquids and poisonous gas to wipe out a nearby city. Mark Bomback (Live Free or Die Hard) wrote the script. Chris Pine (Star Trek) is still attached to play the newbie. Washington’s departure isn’t a surprising one. At the end of June Fox put the film on hold while it focused on its escalating budget. Washington formally withdrew from the film after the studio offered a lower rate. Apparently,

Ryan Reynolds is the new Green Lantern

13 July 2009 5:04 PM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news

It has been confirmed by Variety that The Proposal actor Ryan Reynolds is set to play DC Comics hero The Green Lantern in the new live-action film from Warner Brothers.

Casino Royale director Martin Campbell is set to direct the picture which will begin production in January. Green Lantern will be working with a script by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Michael Green. Producers will be Berlanti and Donald DeLine.

Reynolds was not a shoo-in for the role, as he had competition from a few other top actors for the part. A few days ago, The Hangover star Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto were taking screen tests for the role.

This marks another comic-book character role for Reynolds, as earlier this season he got his coveted role in a X-Men Origins: Wolverine spinoff, Deadpool. Not for nothing, he also helped make The Proposal a box-office success.

A Green Lantern film is long overdue,

Ryan Reynolds Beats Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake to become "Green Lantern!"

11 July 2009 9:55 AM, PDT | From Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news

There was big talk yesterday that Warner Bros was about to decide who will wear the super-fantastic ring in "Green Lantern." Director Martin Campbell ("Casino Royale"), producers Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti have spent 5 months searching for the actor to play Hal Jordan, the Air Force pilot chosen by a dying alien to be his successor in an intergalactic police force known as the Green Lanterns.

The top three finalists were Bradley Cooper ("The Hangover"), Ryan Reynolds ("The Proposal," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), and Justin Timberlake ("Alpha Dog," "Black Snake Moan").

The studio must act quick because their holding deal with the actors would have expired this coming Monday. So act quickly they did, and chose...Ryan Reynolds!

That's right, Deadpool will also be the Green Lantern!

Reynolds beat other contenders such as Michael Fassbender, Henry Cavill, and Jared Leto. The actor will hold the title of the only thespian

Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern, what now for Deadpool spin-off?

11 July 2009 6:17 AM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news

It Certainly didn't take long to cast the Green Lantern after yesterday's announcement that Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper were the frontrunners.

It's been revealed today by Variety that Reynolds has landed the lead role in the Warner Bros movie, which begins filming in Sydney, Australia, in January.

The 32-year-old is enjoying a great year, having already starred with Sandra Bullock in romantic comedy hit The Proposal and played swordsman Wade Wilson, who becomes Deadpool, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Variety's report today makes no mention of Justin Timberlake, whose involvement didn't go down well with fanboys, but mentions the other candidates as Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. Yesterday's story in The Hollywood Reporter said Leto had been considered at a much earlier stage.

Variety reported: "The momentum built for Reynolds in the past week, as he was the only actor whose option was extended."

Variety Reports Ryan Reynolds Is The Green Lantern

11 July 2009 5:41 AM, PDT | From SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news

Ryan Reynolds, a good old Canadian boy and hubby to the almost perfect Scarlet Johansson, has been cast as The Green Lantern. Ryan has shown as his Sci-Fi superhero bona fides as Deadpool in the horrible Wolverine movie I am trying now to forget. Other popular dudes in the mix for the wearing of the green ring were Justin Timberlake (?) and Bradley Cooper (Hangover). Martin Campbell, director of the great Casino Royale will be behind the camera. For those not quite up to date on their superheroes, the Green Lantern is a member of a galactic team of planet protectors of high moral quality. When you are chosen for the team you get a wicked ring that can manifest anything you can think of basically. The lantern part is the battery for the ring. Ryan Reynolds is a cool guy and I think he’s the right choice. Thanks EW.

Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern

11 July 2009 12:13 AM, PDT | From TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news

Variety are reporting that Ryan Reynolds has been cast as DC Comics hero Green Lantern, in a live action pic to be directed by Casino Royale helmer Martin Campbell. For those of you out of the loop, Green Lantern (aka test pilot Hal Jordan) is a superhero who draws his abilites from a special power ring, which allows him to do various cool things, including fly, create forcefields, and so on. Oh, and he's also allergic to the colour yellow. We kid you not. Reynolds, of course, has previous form in comic book fare, playing Deadpool in...

Deadpool Becomes The Green Lantern!

10 July 2009 9:42 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

Ryan Reynolds, who played Wade Wilson/Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, has moved on to another high profile comic property as he has just landed the lead role in Warner Bros.’ The Green Lantern. Reynolds was one of three actors who made the short list of candidates for the superhero flick, along with Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake. Other actors in the early mix included Michael Fassbender (300), Henry Cavill (The Tudors) and Jared Leto (Panic Room). Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, The Mask of Zorro) is directing the film, which centers on Hal Jordan, a hot-shot Air Force pilot who is chosen by a dying alien to be his successor in an intergalactic police force known as the Green Lanterns. The character was created by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell in 1940 and is also part of The Justice League. Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim wrote the screenplay.

Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern!

10 July 2009 9:00 PM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news

Just yesterday we reported that Warner Bros. had narrowed down their casting choice for the lead role in Green Lantern to Ryan Reynolds, Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto and Bradley Cooper. Now, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Canadian actor Reynolds is the studio's top choice for the part, and final negotiations are currently taking place.

You may recall from my earlier piece that I suspected Reynolds would not, in fact, be selected to play Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, due his commitment to star as Deadpool for cross-town rival Marvel.

And I couldn't have been more wrong...though I absolutely couldn't see it going to Justin Timberlake, either, which realistically only left Bradley Cooper (not enough star power nor presence with Jared Leto).

Once the deal is secured, it will make Reynolds the only actor to have played heroes for both Marvel and DC. Recall that Reynolds also played Marvel's vampire

Ryan Reynolds is The Green Lantern!

10 July 2009 7:07 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

In a very surprising move, Ryan Reynolds has won the much-coveted lead role in Warner Bros. live-action version of Green Lantern. We reported earlier this morning that Reynolds was up for the role alongside Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake, but thought he'd be a long shot considering the fact that he was also gearing up for a solo Deadpool spin-off. But Green Lantern is definitely a better (and more popular) role for him, and Warners probably liked the fact that Reynolds comes with a nice healthy package full of good looks, charisma and physical force. Dude is huge, he's proven he can handle the superhero stuff (ie: Deadpool in Wolverine), and he's at that sweet spot in his career where something like this could turn him into the next Christian Bale.

Lantern fans will probably agree that he's the best choice, though I'm not crazy about actors who double-dip in the comics world,

Ryan Reynolds Snags Green Lantern

10 July 2009 7:04 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

We told you to check back regularly for this news to drop, and now it’s dropping!

Variety is reporting that actor Ryan Reynolds has been cast as The Green Lantern in Warner Bros.’ upcoming live-action adaption of the DC comics superhero. This announcement comes on the heels of earlier news that DC/Warner Bros. had narrowed the long search for their Green Lantern down to three finalists.

Reynolds has been a fast-rising star: his performance as Wade Wilson/Deadpool in this Summer’s Wolverine led Fox to create a spinoff film for the character. His most recent flick, the rom-com The Proposal with Sandra Bullock just passed $100 million and the actor has another film on the way, a psychological thriller called Buried, which is already generating mild buzz.

 

For all these reasons - and the fact that Reynolds has proven (keyword) he’s a pretty good leading man with

Reynolds Powers Up For Green Lantern

10 July 2009 5:18 PM, PDT | From HollywoodNorthReport.com | See recent HollywoodNorthReport.com news

Canadian actor Ryan "Deadpool" Reynolds has been cast as 'Green Lantern', the starring role in Warner Bros.' upcoming live-action feature based on the DC Comics super-hero, for director Martin "Casino Royale" Campbell. Production is expected to start January 2010. Screenplay is by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green for producer Donald DeLine. Created for DC Comics in the 1940's, the 'Green Lantern' character derives super-abilities from the use of a ring that can transmute green energy into physical matter. The first 'Green Lantern', 'Alan Wellington Scott', debuted in "All-American Comics" #16 (July 1940), riding in a train when a sabotaged bridge causes a derailment. Scott saves himself by hanging onto a green metal lantern that 'speaks' to him, revealing it was once a 'Starheart' meteor that crashed into China, then forged into a lantern. The lantern 'orders' Scott to fashion a ring from its metal, then to touch the ring to the lantern.

Will Someone Give Poor Henry Cavill a Break Already?

10 July 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | From Movieline | See recent Movieline news

A while back, we noted that The Tudors actor Henry Cavill has spent his entire career being shortlisted, then ultimately passed over, for some of the biggest parts in Hollywood: Superman in a McG-helmed iteration of Superman Returns, James Bond in Casino Royale, the Caped Crusader in Batman Begins...hell, the poor guy was even author Stephanie Meyer's first choice to play Edward in Twilight.

Well, guess what further indignity we can add to the list?

Justin Timberlake As Green Lantern?

10 July 2009 6:30 AM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news

A few weeks ago, blog-o-sphere guru Rick Marshall was a guest on The Flickcast, and on the show we discussed how monotonous it can be when a rumor starts and every news site and it’s mother decides to post about it. We’ve decided to feed the bottomless machine here by giving slightly more stock to the rumor that pop star Justin Timberlake screen tested and is being “seriously considered” for the role of the Green Lantern in a big screen adaptation.

The rumor comes from big, red Harry Knowles over at Ain’t it Cool News, who supposedly got the news from Leavesden Studios, the company who will be working on the film. There’s no telling if this information is legit, or just another rumor like Cher as Catwoman and Eddie Murphy as The RIddler. Either way, it seems to be a way better choice than Jack Black,
