'Green Lantern' taps two Kiwi actors (exclusive)

Kiwi filmmaker-actor Taika Waititi, pictured, and Kiwi actor Temuera Morrison, best known as Jango Fett from the "Star Wars" movies, have joined the cast of Warner Bros. "Green Lantern."

Production begins this week in New Orleans on the 3D feature, which sees Martin Campbell directing Ryan Reynolds as the DC superhero.

Waititi plays the best friend of Hal Jordan, the test pilot who comes to wear the super-powered ring of the interplanetary police force known as the Green Lantern Corps.

Morrison is playing Abin Sur, a member of the Corps who is instrumental in Jordan becoming the superhero.

Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti are producing. The movie is set for a June 17, 2011 release.

Waititi, repped by CAA, first gained attention for writing and directing "Two Cars, One Night," which earned him an Oscar nomination in 2005. His first feature, "Eagle vs. Shark," won him best screenplay at the US Comedy Arts Festival and landed him work directing episodes of "Flight of Conchords."

Waititi continued his indie career with "Boy," which after three years of development, premiered at this past Sundance Film Festival. It was "Boy" that caught the attention of Campbell and Warners, which led to him being cast in "Lantern."

Morrison, repped by Abrams Artists, recently wrapped the New Zealand-made thriller "Tracker" with Ray Winstone.

I am so sorry to people who love this characters but Green Lantern is a name that makes my boners fall asleep so hard. What does it even mean?

I wish his name was more like Hachi: A Richard Gere in Love With a Dog movie which you can read about here

Today, farmers in approximately 44 states in the U.S. grow watermelon commercially, and almost all these varieties have some Charleston Gray in their lineage. Georgia, Florida, Texas, California and Arizona are the USA's largest watermelon producers.

This should be a great film but I hope 3D doesn't ruin it. I'm not sold on the technology, especially for old time comic movies.

I had no idea Waititi directed Flight of the Conchords episodes. I thought that was a brilliant show. I expect good things from him in this movie
