Is Bradley Cooper going to be GREEN LANTERN? Moriarty thinks so...

Published at:  May 05, 2009 10:44:46 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... Moriarty, going by the absurd alias of Drew McWeeny over at HitFix.com is setting the rumor mill going with his brandishing of EXCLUSIVITY on the news/rumor that Bradley Cooper (Alias, upcoming THE HANGOVER) is close to having a ring sized for him in GREEN LANTERN.

By all means - go click on that HitFix link to go read what Drew has to say about Bradley Cooper. Personally - he feels more like Sinestro to me rather than Hal Jordan. But that's just my arbitrary knee jerk reaction. As Drew says - it is by no means a lock, but if Drew was a betting man, he'd say it was Bradley. But you should know that Drew has NO LUCK at all at the betting table, which is how he once spent a night in my room at Vegas. It was so beautiful. Sigh.

    Bradley Cooper is amazing. Kitchen Confidential shows he's got the humor and "1 in 3" shows he's got the stones.

    I never thought of him in this casting but think he would be amazing.

    And that's pretty much all he ever plays that he's good in. He makes a solid asshole, which means he probably is one in real life. He's not GL, not that this is some big role or anything. I'm sure this will be a queer Daredevil/Ghost Rider style flick. Which is sad, there are a few awesome Lantern stories that could be told.

I also like Jamie Bamber as Hal...but I'm sure they'd want a bit more recognizable face for GL. Michael (Dexter) Hall would be horrible as GL. Nuff Said there. Someone mentioned Nathan Fillion somewhere, it would be fun to see him as Guy Gardner actually. Someone also mentioned Joshua Jackson, maybe he'd be good as Kyle Rayner?

    Let me through this name out there: Christopher Egan

    by the_genteel_gentile

    Egan has a younger, fitter Matt Damon quality that could work for Hal Jordan (Presupposing you think a younger, fitter Matt Damon would be a good idea). He also has the added benefit of being relatively unknown (Lord knows nobody seems to have watched NBC's "Kings") and likey ask 1/20th the salary of what a Matt Damon caliber star would demand. Honestly, I can't really see Bradley Coopper in this. I like him, and perhaps I've been preconditioned by Alias, but I always think of him as more of either a second bananna supporting player or a rich Ivy League jerk in some underdog comedy. I don't know about him as a leading hero type. Beyond that, I could've seen Chris Pine, but since he's already heading up Trek I see no need for him to headline yet another sacred nerd property. Similarly Chris Evans would be good except for the fact that he's already The Human Torch. Jensen Ackles could work, I'd be willing to buy that. Anyway, I think it ought to be a talented unknown or reletively unknown such as Christopher Egan. But I'm perfectly willing to have Bradley Cooper prove me wrong and knock it out the park.

    by industrykiller!

    Cooper is about to prove himself for the first time in The Hangover, until then I dont think people are gonna know what he can do. I think he has it in him as much as I would like to see a Jon Hamm or Matthew Fox in the role. It's INARGUABLY better than ANY of the younger guys they have thrown around save Chris Pine, who I actually hope doesn't do it because it will just typecast him. And will you guys stop the Jensen Ackles shit. Hypothetically he's got the look but other than that the guy is wood. It's amazing and sad how attached people get to an actor based on a television show they like.

    by aquateenhungerbomb

    since geoff johns took the helm, the mythology of the green lantern corps has become so bad ass. it's not superheroics, it's space opera. i am on the verge of saying it's better than star wars ever was. and i'm a huge star wars apologist. really, no movie could ever do GL justice. people who talk shit about the GL character or books, have no idea what they're missing.

    Why is it I can buy into any superhero story EXCEPT the Green Lantern? Guy gets bit by a radioactive spider, becomes Spider-Man? I'm with you. Guy gets a magic ring from an alien that grants him the powers? I don't know about that. I realize that this is just my problem. In any case, I really think Bradley Cooper is a great choice for this.

    You mix his work as a good guy in Alias with a little bit of arrogant prick from Wedding Crashers and you've got Hal Jordan. I always thought that GL should be a semi-unknown, so I think this could be really good. And for all the haters, I'll bet you hated the Joker's casting on Day One, too.

    by homer sexual

    He isn't big box office, but he has worked a lot, in movies and television. I mostly know him from Nip/Tuck but also saw him in "He's Just Not That Into You" He is handsome, cocky, kind of a dick but still likable. This seems exactly like Hal Jordan is supposed to be. He'd be a brilliant choice.

    Michael C. Hall is a great actor, but nothing like Jordan. He's kind of morose and definitely uptight and ambiguous. Not exactly a flyboy type. Brian Austin Green...that is as hilarious as Jack Black. Honestly, I am surprised Will Smith isn't doing this, it's right up his alley, but I guess it'd be too similar to Hancock.

    Tired of the Pretty Boys

    by will2power

    You know. I'm getting so tired of the Pretty Boy syndrome hollywood seems to have developed. The thing that always attracted me to the comic was that Hal was not the typical superhero. He didn't have black/blond hair and blue eyes. He had a family and a job. This is really one of those movies where the choice in actor is going to make or break the movie. Bradley Cooper isn't going to convince anyone he's Hal Jordan. Just once I'd like to see them pick someone who doesn't fit the conventional mold. Someone like a Nathan Fillion or an Adam Baldwin--someone who actually has some personality that can make you believe he's that kind of everyday hero that most believe Hal is.

Bradley Cooper would make a better Sinestro,but he could start out in the GL corps with Hal Jordan giving the film some where to go for a sequel or trilogy. I've put too much thought into this.

    I think Cooper's got the range, the chops and the look to pull off the character, who, as we must all remember, was a somewhat arrogant and gung-ho test pilot before being given the ring and realising there was more out there. I would like to put my cards on the table right now and say Seann william Scott for Guy Gardner, should he turn up, even in a cameo. As for Sinestro, historically I always went with Rickman or Oldman. I think Emerson would be TOO obvious/typecast and may not wanna do it. Maybe the smarmy host guy from Slumdog Millionaire?

    parked in front of an ATM, when this dude walks up wearing a GL t-shirt. my buddy, familiar enough with the property to realize the guy was wearing the shirt of a comic-book character, but knowing little else, asked me to describe GL's story/powers. for the life of me, i tried to explain them to him without sounding as if i were making it all up off the top of my head. but after telling him that GL possessed a ring that can project the shape of a large mallet, yet is vulnerable to the color yellow... i just shook my head and stopped talking.
    the point of this, you ask? this movie will appeal to a *very* small audience. if they Weekend at Bernie'd Bea Arthur for the role of GL, i don't think the overall quality of this movie would be affected much--if at all.

    I just don't see it. Cooper's an okay actor and what not, but he just doesn't seem right for Hal Jordan. I'd almost rather see the other rumored actors like Michael C Hall (TV's Dexter) or even Chris Pine over Cooper. Hell, I'd even take a Brit with an American accent like Daniel Craig playing Hal over this guy.

    He played a great asshole in Wedding Crashers and was good in Midnight Meat Train. I think he could pull it off. However, I went to high school with Mike Hall and would love to see him get a role like this.

    What about Jensen Ackles???

    by snatchtastic

    I think Jensen Ackles who plays "Dean Winchester" on SUPERNATURAL would be perfect for the part, he has a natural swagger and attitude to play Hal Jordan...

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0010075/

    Here is his IMDB page...how is this guy NOT Hal Jordan?

    Sounds like Mori's fallen for more bad rumors (I hope). I liked Cooper in Alias and he's well-suited to be the lead in a romantic comedy. However, my dog would make a more believable Hal Jordan (and she's a Boston Terrier).

    Ted Danson as Sinestro

    by liljuniorbrown

    Thats fucking hysterical. I think they should get Anthony Hopkins to play the alien who gives Hal is ring,or at least use his voice if they are going the CGI route. I always thought they should use the Sinestro Corps war as a storyline for a GL movie,set it almost entirely in space. If the new Star Trek is so great let people behind it do this movie and do it right.

    The OTHER ALIAS GUY looks more like Hal

    by drath

    Michael Vartan was his name I think. Seriously, much closer to Hal in my view, though James Marsden is still the obvious choice. But what are you smoking to see Sinestro in Bradley Cooper? That's like seeing Darkseid in Ryan Reynolds or Wonder Woman in Ryan Reynolds.

    by cannabis holocaust

    It's been the best ongoing monthly comic on the rack since Geoff Johns launched the current series in 2004. As someone mentioned, a series of well done GL films could put Star Wars to shame. (or at least the prequels)

    characters in the script:

    by nerosday

    Latino review said the script included Hal Jordan, and Alan Scott as current and former Lanters respectively with cameos by Guy Gardner and Clark Kent. I think this casting is decent but my hope is for Chris Pine. No Sinestro in the first movie according to their article, which makes sense as I could see the second movie following Hal's befriending Sinestro as his mentor and then discovering his darker motives. I have a lot of hope for this flick and think this and the rebirth of Star Trek could really kick Sci-Fi back into overdrive at the box office and redeem the sins of Star War's prequels

    oh, Coopers 6'1" same height as Chris Pine. I don't know where all the wee man cracks are coming from. He looked short in Wedding Crashers because Vince Vaughn is a man-mountain at nearly 6'6"

    Chris evan's is a great choice for the role, and i'm baing that on his role in Sunchine, not the Fantastic4.

    bradley cooper seems too cocky for the role.
