Justin Timberlake as Green Lantern??

What originally was a huge rumor, now has become fact according to Variety, that Justin Timberlake is up for the lead role of Hal Jordan for the upcoming DC Comic’s Green Lantern. Apparently the decision for the casting of the main character is now down to 3 people, Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper, and now Justin Timberlake.

JT has already done a screen test, and it seems like the producers and directors all have different favorite choices. Of these three I probably go with Bradley Cooper, especially since Reynolds is already going to be Deadpool. However given my choice, I would have cast Nathan Fillion, who was featured in a kick ass fan made trailer that we posted a few months ago.

I actually think Justin Timberlake is a decent actor, seeing him in Black Snake Moan and his many hilarious SNL appearances. Though I don’t think he’s well suited for this part. What do you guys think?

I don't want Timberlake for this part!!

I heard Sam Worthington was partially interested in this a few months back, I really hope he's still in the running.

It's supposedly official now, Ryan Reynolds is going to be Green Lantern. That means no more Deadpool movie.

I'll be posting a blog tomorrow, too tired now from shooting all day.

Shooting those great Mega Show's I hope. Well I guess Ryan Reynolds isn't a bad choice, I bet DC/WB did this just to make sure there wouldn't be a Deadpool movie. I guess he should sign an exclusive contract or something, maybe some might get confused and think every superhero should be Ryan Reynolds.

I"m sure they'll make him sign an exclusive contract. Marvel's probably is so pissed right now. Reynolds has been talking up Deadpool for months.

As for shooting, we were shooting a Harry Potter parody sketch for ThinkHero that we should have ready by Monday or Tuesday.

That sounds great. What about the Transformers video? Is that one coming?

We're still working on Transformers stuff, had to skip ahead to do Harry Potter so we could get out in time.

Hopefully Transformers will still be in people's mind, but we're hoping this latest Harry Potter sketch will make people laugh.

Well most of the stuff you guys come up with is pretty funny and it makes me laugh. And I'm sure Transformers will be fresh in everyone's mind since it's still on pace for a $400 million payday.

I just have to say I think it's crazy that movie that has no quality is making tons of money. I figured word of mouth might ruin this but I guess we're living in a different time than the early 2000's. One example of bad word of mouth but kind of alot of action is the first Hulk movie.
