Apparently Warner Bros. has spent “the past five months searching for the actor to play Hal Jordan, the hot-shot Air Force pilot who is chosen by a dying alien to be his successor in an intergalactic police force known as the Green Lanterns.” Warner Bros. has narrowed it down to three: Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake, each of whom has completed screen tests for the role.
The director, one of the producers and the studio each have a different favorite among the three, and they’re having a difficult time coming to an agreement. Budget may be another consideration, as Green Lantern will reportedly be “a full-blown space epic that is expected to cost between $150 million and $200 million.”
Harry Knowles of Ain’t It Cool News doesn’t think Timberlake is “man enough to play the silver-age Emerald Gladiator.”
