Bradley Cooper to Star in Green Lantern?

Source:  Hitfix
Bradley CooperHitfix has just caught wind that Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, Wedding Crashers and He's Just Not That Into You) is in talks to for the title role in director Martin Campbell's Green Lantern. Cooper is a frontrunner, but a deal has not been reached.

The site also revealed that the Warner Bros. Pictures comic book adaptation starts production this summer for a December 17, 2010 release.

The Green Lantern was created in 1940 by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell. Hal Jordan, introduced in 1959, is a second-generation test pilot, an ordinary man who was given the power ring and battery (lantern) by a dying alien named Abin Sur. When Abin Sur's spaceship crashed on Earth, the alien used his ring to seek out an individual to take his place as Green Lantern: someone who was "utterly honest and born without fear."

Warner Bros owns DC, so essentinally they have their own studio, but they have only proved themselves with BATMAN...superman was a joke.
They need to take things seriously like MARVEL Studios, IRON MAN & HULK were great first products.
They need to up the ante.
Marvel Studios hasn't made a mistake yet.

And I bet you got picked on a lot. That's why you're a baby back bitch! You sure do have a lot of time on your hands to keep track of all the posts I put on here you fucking loser. Your comebacks are truly amazing.

side note: I have been watching the posts that Nathan has been putting in and I might have hit it on the head. I bet Nathan has a lot of hate issues, so he picks on people to feel like a man. Either that or he has homo tendencies of which he can't control.

I think I see a pattern here with nathan lease. He's sounding a lot like Greg House, except that he's not gay obsessed.
I bet Nathan was the main bully in school and was never picked on, it would explain a lot.

Ok BD, learn how to spell. Too bad that's already been said. Come up with something better to say faggot.

You're a fucking idiot Mcnasty! No it's not. Did I touch a nerve? "i just hate jerks that put down other people's opinions just because THEY'RE different." I bet you get picked on a lot. Little pussy!

And Corky Vital. Are you asking yourself that question? Because you didn't direct it to anyone. It's ok retard. I know your boyfriend wasn't around to help you write that comment.

Nathan has gay obsessions. Maybe this is way of coming out of the closet? Considering he doesn't have to face anyone on here so it's less embarrasing maybe?

ur phunny, Naythan, en da same commint that u ensalt my speling, u use a phrase lick "That's why THERE taking up for eachother" idk how to take up some body, i can stick up or stand up. not to mean u must have meant THEIR as in possessive not THERE as in location. and don't bother makin fun of my spellin again i did it on purpose, but i know that if i don't explain it u'll think it ws my mistake.

and i'll take that as a compliment that u think my dick is big enough that i could fuck myself with it. it is a feat not easily accomplished, and thanks for proving my point about ur ignorance by tryin to throw gay comments out as if they r an insult.

and Mcnasty nice use of THEY'RE the combination of they and are for description, now we have explained all the different version of that word for Nathan. Nathan feel free to ask bout your and you're, or except and accept, or effect and affect, i can give ya all the learning u need lil guy.

first of all that is proper grammar moron. go back to second grade and maybe you'll learn something. and no, i'm not standing up for anyone imparticular. i just hate jerks that put down other people's opinions just because THEY'RE different. it's people like you that make me wish it was necessary for people to take IQ tests to be allow to procreate (that means make babies). then maybe we wouldn't have to listen to you anymore.

"You did learn"? Mcnasty, are you a redneck? Why don't you get your tounge out of your boyfriends ass, and stop being such a faggot. Are you taking up for Chad? Did you ride the short bus? I'll call you Warren, and no I haven't seen your baseball motherfucker.

you can't tell someone to learn how to spell and use bad grammar. that's just hypocritical. you did learn the difference between 'there' 'their' and 'they're' right? apparently not.

"That's why there taking up for eachother." good one.

the only reason i say anything is because you guys don't let people share their thoughts without calling them retarded. stop being douches, get your fists out of each other's asses and let people discuss movies in peace.

May 7th, 2009 5:52am
So I take it Chad, BD, Mcnasty and Comrade are all lovers. That's why there taking up for eachother. It's cool guys. If that's your thing role with it.

BD, fucking learn how to spell douche bag. It's obvious you don't know shit about movies either. So why don't you just go and fuck yourself asshole!

Way to take notes Chad. I see you're still staying a loser and keeping up with everyones profile on here. I'm pretty numb to your comments, because you say them over and over and over and over and over. Does broken record ring a bell? Probably not, considering your're a fucking retard. It's not Chad_Vital, it's Corky_Vital.

side note, every time i heard the name Midnight Meat Train, i thought "thats a gay porn" common tell me u did think the same.
  (Delete)
May 6th, 2009 9:51pm
good point chad, i think if pine was both Kirk and Hal one of those two franchises would suffer, he would have to schedule around for both of them, plus u know he'll want to make other movies.

with Cooper though he doesn't have any big breakout leading man role yet, so he could be fully committed to GL.

and i've never seen Midnight Meat Train, any good?

May 6th, 2009 9:43pm
Ooo I just caught Nathan re-using insults he used on me haha! Nathan didn't you try to make fun of me for that? Saying I was re-using insults? In that defense, I will say, well they were awesome the first time around so go with what works right?

May 6th, 2009 9:42pm
i'll make a good point with a simple question...

Newkill, why is it everytime i check MovieWeb for news, i see you being a complete douchebag? i mean, i'm sure you're used to it and all, but why is it that you have to show your, let's call it "douchiness" to all these fans who just want to put forth their opinions? do you really need to make everyone else feel bad so that you can feel like a genius? why dont you help everyone else on here and go visit Dr. Online? (and if you dont know that reference, i have just proven you dont know everything so get over yourself and leave people alone)

Btw BD nice insults they made me laugh

May 6th, 2009 9:38pm
First off, guys, stop fighting already no one is making any good points regardless. Secondly, you obviously haven't watched Midnight Meat Train, because it's a serious movie. He is very serious in it. I hope he gets this over Gosling (Gosling bugs the crap out of me). He's due for a big big break ya know? I'm pretty sure he can pull it off. Hell, even Batman is funny in some scenes on purpose. Of COURSE THEY WILL PUT COMIC RELIEF IN THE FILM. Duh, he is already funny, and he can do serious so why the heck not? If you picture his face with the little green eye piece/mask thingy on, tell me you don't see him as The Green Lantern lol? He looks like a cocky pilot to me. I think he's one of the better casting rumors I've heard in a long time actually. Chris Pine looks the part as well, but I have no clue how his acting ability is until we see Star Trek. But wouldn't that be almost TOO much? Kirk AND Green Lantern lol?

May 6th, 2009 9:38pm
oh yeah and i like Pine for the role too, but he is a lil small to me and i just think that Cooper fits this role better then Pine.

May 6th, 2009 9:36pm
Alright so i'm confused. cuz Nathan as far as i know, there is no sexually transmitted diseas that is abbreviated as BD, there is Bowen's Disease and Border's Disease, but neither r sexually transmitted. so idk u must have just out smarted me and made up a STD. idk

and personally i think Mr. Fucking Know It All Comrade, sounds better then Mr. Shit Talking Ignorant Douche Nathan Lease. idky u got insulted by me pointin out Newkill was wrong, but i guess it is nice that he has a boyfriend to come to his defense on this site.

May 6th, 2009 8:05pm
Now you're gonna start JA? Don't get me started with the shit you say.

You think you're Mr. Fucking Know It All Comrade when it comes to characters in movies. You're nothing but a fucking loser that has no life and no friends.
  (Delete)
May 6th, 2009 7:24pm
I'll wait until I see Star Trek tomorrow to pass judgment on Pine. I really liked him in Smokin' Aces.
  (Delete)
May 6th, 2009 6:48pm
He's a pretty cool/funny actor. I think he'd be good. Right now it's between him and Chris Pine.

May 6th, 2009 6:45pm
I just saw this guy in a couple bits on youtube. Not bad in terms of "Is he suited for the part?" But I still want to know what the competition is.
  (Delete)
May 6th, 2009 6:41pm
Oh yeah...because no one in real life likes them...
