If you’ve been a faithful visitor to One Guy’s Movie Blog, you will have picked up on the fact that I’m a big Green Lantern fan and was thrilled when I heard that the script for the Green Lantern movie was in it’s final stages. Some guys over at Latino Review even got a copy and they were very public in their praise of the story and the characters and, basically, the whole thing.
So, some more exciting news comes our way this week as we found out that Ryan Gosling is up for the role of Hal Jordan. Now, there are some naysayers in the movie blogosphere who say that Gosling doesn’t “look” like Hal Jordan, or that he seems too soft. But I am with the majority who think Gosling would be an awesome choice. He is a great young actor who has shown a considerable range. And for those who say that Gosling can’t play the part of a cocky test pilot turned superhero, check out his movie Fracture, where he showed he could be self-assured but with a hint of humanizing self-doubt.
Since GL has been fast tracked by Warner Brothers, and aims to start shooting in early 2009, I hope they can nab Gosling before he signs on to other projects.
Can Gosling pull-off Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern? Sound off in the Comments section.
