And Then There Were 3
Thu, July 9, 2009 
And the Green Lantern news is rolling in! A few hours ago, it was reported that Justin Timberlake was under consideration. Now, the Hollywood Reporter has given us a list of the final three candidates. Yes, JT is one of them, but the others are Bradley Cooper (should be no surprise there), and Ryan Reynolds, a choice I really like.
Here's what the Hollywood Reporter had to say:
This week, the race narrowed to Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake. The clock is ticking on the decision as the holding deal the studio had on the actors expired Monday, meaning the three are now free to accept other offers.
The studio ordered up two rounds of screen tests with Cooper, Reynolds and Timberlake. Other actors in the early mix included Michael Fassbender, Henry Cavill and Jared Leto.
It should also be worth noting that the article has the film scheduled for a Christmas 2010 release. If you'll remember, it was originally announced for that date until the beginning of the year where Warner Brothers pushed it back to Summer 2011. This raises the question, "Did the Hollywood Reporter make a mistake or has the studio in fact moved its release up yet again?"

Personally, I'm rooting for Reynolds.

Was hoping that Shawn Roberts or another relative unknown would get cast.
Not really liking these choices other than Cooper, who imo would pull of a better Guy
If Reynolds had not played "Deadpool," I bet he would be the runaway popular choice.
I would be ecstatic if they picked him. And I have long maintained Cooper would be a good choice.
Timberlake is just ... no.
Out of the three? Cooper. Definitely Bradley Cooper.
Reynolds? I WANTED him for The Flash. But now that he's Deadpool, I can't imagine Reynolds portraying any DC character. It would just pull me out of the narrative. It's possible that WB might feel the same way.
Timberlake? GOOD GOD NO!
Personally, I found myself rooting for Shawn Roberts. Oh well.
HERE'S TO BRADLEY COOPER!
Please please not Jt that is almost as bad as Jack black
I'm sorry but none of those three are acceptable, here's the real final three list, Nathan Fillion, Nathan Fillion and Nathan Fillion are the true final three candidates and I'll dare anyone to a sturdy round of verbal fisti-cuffs otherwise.
Hey Dan, Cooper won you over with The Hangover didn't he?
