"Ryan Reynolds is the new Green Lantern
13 July 2009 5:04 PM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news
It has been confirmed by Variety that The Proposal actor Ryan Reynolds is set to play DC Comics hero The Green Lantern in the new live-action film from Warner Brothers.
Casino Royale director Martin Campbell is set to direct the picture which will begin production in January. Green Lantern will be working with a script by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Michael Green. Producers will be Berlanti and Donald DeLine.
Reynolds was not a shoo-in for the role, as he had competition from a few other top actors for the part. A few days ago, The Hangover star Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto were taking screen tests for the role.
This marks another comic-book character role for Reynolds, as earlier this season he got his coveted role in a X-Men Origins: Wolverine spinoff, Deadpool. Not for nothing, he also helped make The Proposal a box-office success.
A Green Lantern film is long overdue."

Where there goes the possibility for a Deadpool movie.
I am very excited for this, as I know Kiznox has a bunch of man juice waiting to explode out of him when this gem comes to film.
While there is a possibility of this being a dud (oh no, blasphemy!), I have high hopes for this to be what it should be. If they do sequels, they should be rated R (depending on what lore you use)
