Martin Campbell Talks Sinestro Rumors

Yesterday, Drew McWeeney of HitFix reported that "Jack Earle Haley is the only choice for Sinestro by the studio", in the upcoming "Green Lantern' movie. This confirmed a report back in October courtesy of Aint It Cool News. Apparently, director Martin Campbell didn't get the memo and shot the rumor down when speaking with MTV. In fact, he also revealed who he wants to cast in the role of Sinestro.

"No, that's completely wrong," said Campbell of the persistent rumor, which popped up again recently despite Haley denying any involvement with the "Green Lantern" movie. "In fact, we're in negotiations with Mark Strong to play Sinestro."

"He's not only a wonderful actor, but he looks like Sinestro," he added. "If you look up old pictures of Sinestro, he's very like him. The Jackie Earle Haley thing, somebody told me about it this morning; I had never heard it before in my life."

Taylor Lautner At Spider-Man Meeting

IESB's Jamie Williams, former writer at our very own ThinkMcflyThink.com, is reporting that Twilight's Taylor Lautner has met with Sony about the upcoming Spider-Man Reboot.

On the other hand, we know for a fact that his Twilight co-star (and onscreen rival) Taylor Lautner has in fact taken a meeting with the Spider-Man producers. For what role, we don't know. Remember this reboot will take the character back to high-school. So it's not automatically him meeting to play Peter Parker. Harry Osborn and Flash Thompson come to mind. Unlike Pattinson, he's at the right age to play a high-schooler at 17.
