Helming the film, based on the DC Comics hero, is Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, Casino Royale). According to Variety, production is expected to begin in January.
It was reported earlier today that Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake were the other top contenders for the role. Congrats, Ryan!!!

He’s a really cute guy. Good abs. Can’t wait to see it . Good choice :)
first
Yesssssss
I’m happy for Ryan. <3 Although I was secretly hoping Justin would get the part.
Well, he definitely way hotter than the other two. I would ride him for hours!!!
awesome! he’s got a rocking bod.
“he’s got a rocking bod.” but a head in the shape of a butternut squash.
I never really found him that attractive till you posted that magazine cover/photo shoot of him with no shirt on, now I find him irresistible!!!
Great choice! this is from a guy who hates most choices for superheros…he has the bod and looks for it.
Luv superhero movies. Nothing like a strong good guy that likes to save the day.
Would luv to have a dress up drunk with all kinds of costumes, then every night of the week…..well…..this isn’t THAT kind of message board ;)
so he’s going to play a DC AND a Marvel character - Deadpool and Green Lantern????
wow!
Halle Berry did it though, with Catwoman and Storm….
ryan is perfect!
I want justin to do a comedy….maybe a role with andy sandberg about those 2 guys on SNL - **** in a box/mother lover? :)
Darn it.
I can see it…sort of.
Bradley Cooper was a good choice too, but I can’t really see him as Hal.
wooo! ryan reynolds is awesome! thank god justin timberlake didnt get the part.
meh @ 07/11/2009 at 12:03 am Darn it.

yeah same here…although i guess i should be happy that justin guy didn’t get it. jeez. that feels like a bare escape. but i think they should have given it to someone else. here’s to it bombing. no way am i going to see this movie, and i love green lantern. f*ck.
YESS!!!!
u know its funny how out of the entire cast of “two guys and a girl” he was the only guy to make it as a movie star..the rest of the cast dint end up…..frankly speaking anywhere!!
Much better choice than Justin Timberlake… heck he even kinda looks like the Green Lantern!
THIS GUY IS SOOO UGLY BUT HIS CAREER’S JUST TAKEN OFF SINCE WOLVERINE……CAN’T BELIEVE HE’S AN ACTOR….THERE’S NOOOOO APPEAL
Ryan LITERALLY has INSPIRED me to lose my GUT of a stomach and now I dont go to bet unless I do my crunches! I literally want a SIX PACK NO FREAKIN KIDDIN!

That is some fine ass canadian bacon.
@becca #12, yes Halle did it and it didn’t bring her some luck in her career!!!! remember the Razzie? lol (even though I can’t understand it since Catwoman is like one of my favorite movies ever :p). That’s cool though to play both a DC Universe and a Marvel superhero. I would have loved to play some famous superheroes in movies lol. Can’t wait to see it. He has the bod for it.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr another stupid lmovie for a stupid actor! can’t wait for it to fail at the box office !

This movie will be very PG-13.
i thought Green Latern was black
@Bella:
The newest Green Lantern was black, but the original was white. Not like it matters in hollywood. In the movie The Wild Wild West, Will smith played Capt. James West who was originally played by Robert Conrad.
Those other names were fillers. Seriously, stop the nonsense.
Congrats to Ryan. Only he can bring the sexy.

yayyyyy! i voted for him :) lol
Great choice! he’s cute and funny and very athletic! Love him
I think Ryan will make a good green lantern
Not interested in seeing him in this movie.
Couldn’t they find someone who can at least… act?
GREEN LANTERN? Who the… Hell the… What the….??? GREEN LANTERN? Why is he green? and why is he called a LANTERN?
Remember when REYNOLDS WRAP use to try to imitate Jim Carry in his acting roles? I remember when he was a young kid on Nickelodeon. This guy is a joke. His face still looks like it did when he was a young kid on Nickelodeon. He’s really not attractive. There’s no appeal to him. He’s not a truly bad actor though. He’s got some skill. His eyes and lips are weird though….
WOULD PREFER BRADLEY COOPER
Justin Timberlake isnt a seasoned actor yet. He needs alot more classes before he should take on any lead role.
Bradley Cooper is a bit old to be playing a superhero, plus I kind of see him as the romantic comedy guy, not an action hero.
I think Ryan was the best choice out of the 3 for sure. Cant wait to see it.
NICOLAS CAGE FOR SINESTRO!!!!!
NICOLAS CAGE LOOKS JUST LIKE SINESTRO!!!!! AND HE IS AN AMAZING ACTOR!!!! HE SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY BE HAL JORDANS COUNTERPART!!!!!!
Nathan Fillion has a good career, #19.
Same here, #39.
Ryan is the only one that I thought should be the main character. They others don’t have it.
Yes the man is hot and funny! I always thought he was handsome, but then I saw him shirtless in the magazine cover and was like DAMN where had you been, oh and I think he’s a good actor so I’m excited about the movie!
I guess.. I don;t really care for the green lantern as a stand alone. I am just waiting for the justice league movie. I would have prefered a black green lantern…
I can see it…good choice :)
good, i didnt wanna see timberlake get it, he would have stunk that movie for sure
i hope ryan does good
hopefully scarjo swill be in it also

————————————-
no. it’s a blockbuster action comic movie and that’s why bradley cooper didn’t get it. i mean if they said the same thing for hugh he would have never gotten the break of his life. ryan reynolds may have the body for it but i’m saying this movie will tank. they will probably get the hardcore nerds, not even, and some females, but no inbetweens. interested to see how the cast fleshes out. disappointed. super glad cannot act justin timberlake didn’t get this sh*t.
finally hes getting his do in acting!!!!!!!!!!
@mythical creature: Ummm. *blush* that was a typo…I meant to say dress up TRUNK, as in chest. Not get drunk every night of the week. LOL oops.
Congrats Ryan!
I do prefer him taking on GL than Deadpool!!!
not impressed with this casting. Henry Cavill is sooo much better looking.
I rather see Bradley Copper as GL. He’s got that dark good ole boy sexy edge. Ryan looks like he’d scream like a girl if he was up against a powerful super villian.
@diamond: yes - the girl from that show is on MONK as Natalie,and the other guy - has beenon numerous shows.
i lovee ryan reynolds nd i cnt waitt 2 see him in greenn tights with his finee abs tht he has, damn scarlett is luckyy!! ily ryan <3 <33
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!BRADLEY COOPER WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!no one can compare to bradley!!!
@twifanatic Amanda: nononooooooooooo!
