Ryan Reynolds Goes 'Green Lantern'

We haven't heard from one Ryan Reynolds in a minute, never mind any real concrete news on "Green Lantern" from anybody. Fans have been shifting in their computer chairs wondering it this film will go the way of the ill-fated "Justice League: Mortal". Yes. That was the real working title. I believe the last we heard Lantern was shooting in March, we are almost approaching December and no other casting announcements have been made. I can understand why some might find that troubling. The prolific people over at Music Television sat down with Reynolds and discussed "Green Lantern" and "Deadpool" among other topics.

"I've known about "Green Lantern" my whole life, but I've never really followed it before. I fell in love with the character when I met with [director] Martin Campbell."

"I sat down with him, and I could not even believe what he was saying. When I went to the meeting, I was entirely cynical. I thought, "What the hell, I'll see what they have to say," and I left the room with a completely different perspective."

"I think, seeing the prototypes for the Green Lantern costumes was a huge moment. It was a moment when I was like, "This is happening, and it's happening in the right way." That's a pretty cool, definitive moment for me."

Reynolds is still pimping the film and seems to be indicating that the powers that be are going about it the right way. I am still in the camp that this film is happening, but the longer the radio silence the bigger chance this film has of being pushed back. We all know that pushed back = canned. WB really needs this film, not because of the potential box office (WB is the biggest studio in the world), but to prove they can present a character other than Batman or Superman. On a side note, if Reynolds is playing "Green Lantern" he is not playing "Deadpool", and vice versa. There is no way Fox - Marvel or WB/DC would let that happen. Please stop.
