You Heard It Here First!
Fri, July 17, 2009 
With their lead actor now set in the form of Ryan Reynolds and an animated DVD about to hit shelves July 28th, the onslaught of Green Lantern news continues. Empire Online has posted an article (which you can check out right here) detailing the who, what, where, when and why of the comics and forthcoming Martin Campbell directed film. Interestingly, one thing in particular stood out to me within said article regarding the part of love interest Carol Ferris:
Rose Byrne (Knowing, 28 Weeks Later) is hottest tipped for the role, and word is that she's director Martin Campell's (Casino Royale, GoldenEye) favourite too.
If that sounds familiar, it's because I also heard that news-item and told you good folks about it a little over two months ago here. Now to be fair, nothing is set in stone and it's not out of the realm of possibility that Byrne has come and gone off the filmmakers' radar.
But if it turns out that it's Rose Byrne whose smooching Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan come summer 2011, remember where you heard it first, folks.

Well, she was going to play Vesper Lynd originally but well.. Amazing work in Damages, BTW, this is a smart actress I want to see more of, instead of the usual bimbos.
She seems like a very good choice to me.
