Justin Timberlake Will Not Be Wearing The Green Lantern’s Ring

justinlantern Oh well: “Ryan Reynolds has landed the coveted role of Green Lantern, getting the starring role in Warner Bros.’ live-action film based on the DC Comics hero.” Let’s just hope this doesn’t pave the way for Dick In A Box: The Movie, am I right? [Variety / Earlier]

  • i was a huge green lantern fan, and i'm still in my 20s. i remember picking up issue #1 of the last hal jordan series, and stuck with it into the hundreds. the new school dude's series wasn't too bad either, but then i grew hair on my nuts and stopped reading superhero rags.
    it's a weird one, and the movie could either kick ass or totally suck. earth's green lantern was just one of a huge corps. like the jedis. could make for a pretty kickass flick if the script isn't lame.

    Has anybody under retirement age ever actually read a Green Lantern comic? What's his deal? Is he some kind of railway signalman gone rogue? Who the hell cares? I'm off comic book movies anyway - boardgames are the new hotness. I can't wait to see the feature-length version of Hungy, Hungry Hippos or Trouble with Pop-O-Matic action.

    Why on earth would the role of Green Lantern be coveted?
