Greg and I are HUGE Ryan Reynolds fans. While he's commenting on Reynolds' acting chops, I'm ogling his steely abs--okay, while appreciating his comedic timing. Homedude has definitely been on the cusp of major stardom for many years now. Well, with the announcement of not only an alleged Deadpool spin-off and the massive money The Proposal drew in, it was also announced many moons ago that Reynolds will be taking on the (not quite as cool) superhero the Green Lantern. We're all for him tackling a major superhero movie and were actually pretty excited about this bit of news.
That is, until we tweeted this weekend that Gossip Girl's Blake Lively will be playing his love interest. Blech. Anyhoo...we can now totally override that vomitous feeling with the latest rumor swirling 'round that Peter Sarsgaard is in negotiations to play Green Lantern's villain,Dr. Hector Hammond, “the pathologist son of a senator who is seen as a disappointment in his father’s eyes” and eventually develops powers after contact with a meteor, which apparently include mind reading and mind control.
This casting news we can totally get behind. It's totally cool to see good actors as superhero villans--like Chrisoph Waltz battling Seth Rogen's Green Hornet.
The Green Lantern will be released June 17th 2011.
What do you guys think of Sarsgaard's casting?
