‘Green Lantern’ casting down to three – TFC Morning Report
Top Story: And then there were three. The Green Lantern casting rumors have once again gone into overdrive with news that Warner Bros. has narrowed the field down to three. Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake were brought in for a second round of screen tests. Of the three, each is favored by either the studio, director Martin Campbell, or producer Donald De Line. I’m partial to the idea of Reynolds in just about anything, but none really strike me as the perfect Hal Jordan. The Green Lantern is going to be a $200 million gamble, so Warner Bros. better get it right. (THR)
In Other News: Brad Pitt and Steven Soderbergh’s Moneyball isn’t quite dead yet. Sony has brought in Aaron Sorkin to polish Steven Zaillian’s script. Both Pitt and Soderbergh are still attached to the project. (Variety)
Mel Gibson is set to star in The Beaver, a drama about a depressed man who’s only comfort is his beaver puppet. The film will be directed by Jodie Foster. (Variety)
