Green Lantern Will Kick Ass...IMO

Beating out the likes of Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds has signed on to play Green Lantern. Total Film reports:

For those of you out of the loop, Green Lantern (aka test pilot Hal Jordan) is a superhero who draws his abilites from a special power ring, which allows him to do various cool things, including fly, create forcefields, and so on.

Van Wilder has come so far, I feel like a proud father. - NS

The Final 3 To Be Green Lantern

It was announced this morning that there are three contenders in line for the new Warner Bros./ DC Comics flick Green Lantern. They are Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, and Justin Timberlake.

Bradley Cooper I get. He's coming of a box office hit in The Hangover but I think at best you get one Green Lantern movie out of him, he's not carrying a franchise. He was the least funny part of that movie anyways. I don't get Justin Timberlake, he can't handle this size of a role.

Ryan Reynolds is about to break out something huge if they give him a superhero franchise. Get it done! I'm quitting on this post half-way through like I'm Sarah Palin. Out! - NS

UPDATE: Ryan Reynolds has been given the role!

Jack Black ain't fraid of no Ghosts.

Jack Black is apparently lobbying Ghostbusters alum Harold Ramis, with whom Black worked on Year One and will be reprising his original role as Dr. Egon, for a spot in the upcoming Ghostbusters.

I don't know, I haven't liked anything Jack Black has done since he punted that dog in Anchorman. And Year One bombed. 

My Ghostbusters? Ryan Reynolds, Paul Rudd, Jason Segal, and for a wildcard...Zach Braff. I would probably be the only one who enjoys it, but after the success of The Proposal and the hype for his X-Men Spin-off I think Ryan Reynolds needs a shot to carry a franchise. Also I feel like since it's 2009 we need a black guy. Oh well, think Will Smith will do it? - NS
