Looks truly like Warner Bros. have given up the ghost on GREEN LANTERN being black, all the rumors suggest the movie will revolve around Hal Jordan rather than John Stewart.
Latino Review say their biggest WB source has given them the exclusive scoop that Ryan Gosling is being eyed for the role as their first choice.
Gosling, 28 next month, is the perfect age for Greg Berlanti’s script where the character is said to be aged 27.
Academy Award nominated for his role in HALF NELSON two years ago, Gosling certainly has great acting chops and is closer to WB/DC’s casting of a great physical actor like Christian Bale than an unknown like Brandon Routh.
Hunt out LARS AND THE REAL GIRL and you will believe he is more than just a pretty face. This guy is good… though to play Lantern he will need to drop some of the brooding and notch up the charisma a few paces.
Last we heard this will be filming in the Spring, so hopefully we will get official casting within six weeks.

None of this news gets me very excited, I always thought Green lantern was a bit of a boring character and would struggle with his own feature film especelly as Warners are going all “Dark” with there shit.
I’d still rather see a great Wonder Woman film that could be much more epic in scale if done right.
I’m pretty sure that they wont be featuring much of the Green lantern corps as it would probably cost a fortune to do that on film.
Fantastic, I love Green Lantern and Ryan Gosling I think if they get him would be great casting.
I keep getting these two green superhero movies mixed up. “Green Lantern” and “Green Hornet”. ugh. anyways, neither movie sounds very appealing. i agree with the wonder woman movie.
Its Great Green Lantern Comics
I think it’s great how an almost bankrupt company like Marvel can put out movies like it ain’t no joke. And here we have DC who practically has their own them parks in Six Flags can’t agree on Jack!
Warners are a buch of Arses!
That’s “Bunch” by the way!
I’m not thrilled about a Green Lantern movie. Nor do I share any excitement in seeing a movie revolve around The Flash.
Much like others before me, I would prefer to see a Wonder Woman movie. It would be great to have Joss Whedon attached to the project.
Joss Whedon had his chance and blew it big time mate!
