According to several trade papers, Warner Bros. have found their star for Martin Campbell's new Green Lantern movie. Ryan Reynolds has beat out Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake, and the once signed Jack Black (yes, Warner Bros. is that stupid) to suit up as Hal Jordan in the upcoming flick.
This news is important, because it means that hopefully WB has settled on a tone for the movie. When Jack Black was on board, it was going to be a straight comedy, like a spoof of Superhero movies. Green Lantern was not the character to use for this, and thankfully The Suits at Warner's agree.
I am now completely on board with this movie. I think Reynolds has what it takes to carry the film, and has a love of comic books strong enough to do the character justice and take it seriously. Well done Warner Bros. You've made a smart decision.
