Warner Bros has narrowed the casting of Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern down to 3 contenders: Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, and get this…Justin Timberlake – all who made it through 2 rounds of auditions. Oh boy. Other candidates who auditioned included Michael Fassbender, Henry Cavill, and Jared Leto.
Director Martin Campbell, producer Donald De Line, and the studio, however, have been unable to agree on a final casting choice, each favoring a different candidate. Is one of the parties actually considering Ryan Reynolds aka Deadpool to play the Green Lantern? And who’s bright idea was it to bring Justin Timberlake into the running? Can anyone honestly look at a Green Lantern theatrical poster with the name Justin Timberlake printed across the bottom without ROTFL-ing? This has to be a joke.
Well, I suppose there’s no one else to root for here except Bradley Cooper, which I’ll say is a tolerable choice for Hal Jordan. There certainly could be better candidates though.
Apparently, Warner Bros is also worried about the $150-200 million budget and plans to cut back on it. Wow, and I thought this project would be leveled up to “Dark Knight” quality. From what we’ve heard here, it looks like it is far from it.
“Green Lantern” is scheduled for a December 2010 release.
