Green Lantern Brought Sexy back?
Thu, July 9, 2009 
According to Aint It Cool News, one of the contenders in serious considerattion for the lead role of Green lantern Hal Jordan is none other than...Justin Timberlake? No, seriously. Now from what I have seen of JT's acting he's not a complete disaster IMO. However, in no way, shape, or form, can I see him headlining a HUGE potential franchise like this. I suppose in the studios mind, he's a big star who will rake in the cash, and fits the age, and look they seemed to be going for.
But, if this is the look they want, why not go with Ryan Phillipe? He has a similar look to Timberlake, and has proven time and again that he's a very capable actor, who could easily headline a film.
Now, could JT surprise us all? Sure, but he'd have to pull a "Ledger as Joker" type performance to win over fanboys who hate him for being young, successful, good looking, and dating Jessica Biel.

Hey lets have "50 Cent" play the villian.
Anybody whose seen his bombs I mean films will tell you he is legit.
Oh dear God, NO! I will be very upset if they cast Timberlake. He'd just completely take me out of the narrative of the film. If they intend on going this route, I'd be more willing to accept BAG over Timberlake.
However, I'm not too worried as I believe we are going to end up with Shawn Roberts.
Hey Dan,
Don't forget would get a theme song by Timberlake for the film.
Thanks, Matt. Now I have two reasons for not wanting Timberlake to get the role.
