Peter Sarsgaard is in negotiations to play the villain in "Green Lantern," Warner Bros.' big-budget, Martin Campbell-directed tentpole based on the DC Comics super hero.
Ryan Reynolds is starring as Hal Jordan, the test pilot who finds a downed spacecraft with a dying alien who passes him a powerful ring, introducing Jordan to a interstellar police force known as the Green Lanterns.
Sarsgaard will play Dr. Hector Hammond, the pathologist son of a senator who is seen as a disappointment in his father's eyes. He becomes infused with psychic powers when he discovers a meteor.
The character was created by John Broome and Gil Kane in the early 1960s.
Blake Lively has already cast as Reynolds' love interest, Carol Ferris.
The movie is prepping for a March start in New Orleans. Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti are producing.
Sarsgaard, who starred opposite Carey Mulligan in "An Education," recently wrapped "Knight and Day" with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. The actor, repped by CAA and Authentic Talent and Literary Management, is currently shooting the indie thriller "The Ledge" with Terrence Howard and Evan Rachel Wood.








I am thinking if Hammond is going to be the villain in the Green Lantern, then what kind of role will Sinestro have? Are they going to build up the Sinestro/Hal friendship throughout the movie and then set up Sinestro as the villain for a sequel?

There's a leaked copy of the script in pdf form out on the net. It's a-freaking-mazing. They DO play up Sinestro's role as trainer and semi-friend. I love the fact that they aren't blowing his potential in the first movie. A+++

It’s about time the masses are introduced to the genius of Sarsgaard. A big comic book flick like this is just the ticket.

You got that right r4, with his acting plus his charms what could go wrong.

I'm not to sure about the actors in the movie, but knowing the Green Lantern story as I do I hope it does really well. I believe it deserves to become a really good franchise film.

I like the first installments of superhero films for this reason because I like origin stories and in the first you usually get the heros and the villains (and then only the villains in subsequent films). As far as this character goes I bet he starts normal and devious and then attains the powers somewhere in act two but still remains able to walk and talk(with a relatively normal sized and veiny head).

He is three years older than her. He didn’t come to see her everyday, but her phone will ring every night when she was going to sleep. He will tell her that the weather became cold and wear extra clothes as well as don’t read books in bed and so on.
Everyone knows that she has a boyfriend loved so much and can do everything for her.
Her mouth didn’t say but her heart is proud. He looked handsome, talented, compelling, and is loved by many girls. But such a person who is deeply in love with her.links of london sale
Every time when they fight, he will walk away but in the end is he come back and said, “Baby, let’s make up”
