JACK BLACK TALKS ABOUT GREEN LANTERN

[SonicTrooper22]

In brightest day, in blackest night, a good roadie stays out of the spotlight!

Let those who worship evil’s might, gets a DECAPITATION from my power... Green Lanterns’ light!

hahahaha

[azuzaj1]

I love you Jack, but honestly stay away from every SuperHero movie.....seriously.

[archer1949]

"Oh that would have been so funny."

Ok, how? Jack Black doing his usual schtick using Jim Carrey's The Mask as a template. That's how it was pitched.

How is that funny? Why use the Green Lantern concept to sell tired crap like that?

Fuck off, bitch.

[bookrelo4]

he is the man and ruless!

[Joecbg100]

Thank God he passed.

[grkpektis]

Jack black should play hals friend in the green lantern trailer he would be great comic relief but he would suck ass as green lantern

[temporary1121]

it probably would be funny.....but he still isnt lantern material

[HanibalKingII]

fuck off!

Ryan Reynolds is the best!!

[godCobain]

@HanibalKingII are you fucking stupid? maybe as kyle,but not hal. he'll ruin the franchise..... ryan reynolds should stick to doing romance movies

[azuzaj1]

@godCobain Look at that fuckers name..."Hanibal King" I bet he didnt even know who Hanibal was before the Blade movie...and anyone who likes Ryan Reynolds as Lantern is an idiot anyway, probably a fan girl..

[nooMeulB0612]

@godCobain funny thing, hes going to be dead pool too... damn

[steakdiaper]

if she really can't see why people might not appreciate Jack Black playing Green Lantern, then that is one chick what needs a boot to the cooze

[rurik36]

I don't know, I could see Jack as Guy Gardner mooning Batman and using his ring to say "Bye bye Bats." around his ass.

[shrillz]

Green Lantern is the ultimate spammer

[im2not2cory]

i would have watched it

[iwantsher]

if they ever make a spoof of the movie the green lantern than by all means jack black can play green lantern but for the movie to be taken seriously it would have to be played by ryan reynolds or someone

[imaginepeace63]

Ryan Reynolds is the Green Latern

[spitblueblood]

Eddie Murphy was also supposed to play Green Lantern back in his heyday, according to John Byrne he was asked to write a script but declined. Thankfully Black nor Murphy will be donning a power ring anytime soon.

[OropherThranduil]

it would have sucked balls with murphy, i mean i don't like stewart as green lantern at all, THE green lantern is hal jordan, noone else, just like barry allen is the flash.

[brendemuhl]

nerds your all nerds that have no life

[SLPIFan]

Oh come on. Answer this question.

Who has no life, the people who enjoy a certain part of it, or the person who wastes their time putting others down?

I don't want to seem like a jerk, but you're not acting much different from that. You're talking about people you don't even know and have done nothing to you. I doubt you'd be this bold if you were talking face to face with them.

[SLPIFan]

What do you mean by Comic Book people?

[humongousaldo]

It is nice to know that Hollywood doesn't pick up on every stupid idea they be having. no offence to Jack Black but I for one don't want to see a dumb comedy version of Green Lantern, one of my all time fav superheroes. Damn straight.

[MADLYeverAFTER]

Jack black should NEVER play a superhero EVER

[Cessnapilot03]

Well Common is going to play the first Green Lantern role on the big screen for the Justice League when it comes out on 2012

[nerovulcan]

lol that was dropped a long time ago dude...

There is only the new green lantern movie that is being filmed in november and that is going to be hal jordan (who is white). So no common.

[Cessnapilot03]

I know Hal Jordan is white, and I knew they were coming out with a movie on him also, but I saw online that Justice league was going to have common play John Stewart.

[nerovulcan]

Yeah which is why I was correcting you by telling you they canceled the JLA movie awhile ago lol.

[nerovulcan]

Thats why I was trying to explain to you that they canceled the JLA film a long time ago. You seemed to have missed that part though lol.

[SLPIFan]

I think he could play a green lantern just not whichever main one they use. He could probably play or voice a side one.

[bazzjedimaster]

jack could be a good voice actor for an alien green lantern, like G-nort

[bubbajr19]

Ain't Seth Green supposed to be in Green Latern?

[snowfreak76]

Green Hornet *rumored*

[irvman999]

I read somewhere (and I hope it's wrong) that Ryan Reynolds is supposed to play Hal Jordan!!

I hope its wrong because he is supposed to play

Wade Wilson in a Dead Pool movie!!!

[mishima64]

he will lol he will do both

[uzsidoboz]

well.. unfortunately this is true :( he will play Hal in the movie

[mcgaha07]

He woould be a good Flash, and that's cool cause Flash is DC and Dead Pool is marvel

[imaginepeace63]

Maybe if Jack Black lost quite a few pounds he could play Flash. I would rather see the lead actor from Firefly play Flash.

[ramm2000]

its true he is going to play hal jordan in the Green Lanturen film.

[SaiyanShinobi666]

anything out of "green"

a massive weed plantation

oh the possibilities

[JuaquinFierro]

Nobody was mad at the idea of him playing "A" Green Lantern, just not "THE" main GL. He'd definately make a great G'nort, Galious Zed, Laravox, plenty of GLs he could play.

Plus the script he had was written by Triumph The Insult Dog guy, it was meant to be a parody,and that's what GL fans objected to

Nothing against Jack Black, he seems like he genuinely wanted to do it, GLs come in every shape and size, so if he's serious, he should sign on to be in GL, I'm sure they'd be glad to have him

[kryptondragon1973]

noooooooo.don't even think about it,black.

[lionOFjudah33]

I can see him playing Kilowog.

[SLPIFan]

I think he'd make a better Galius Zed.

[webmasterd]

yes.. alot of comic books fans would be extremely angry. don't fuck with a master piece. i will say this tho... he has the facial bone structure for it. If only he was taller, muscular, and taller and muscular. lol.

[Mnementh2230]

That'd be hillarious - Tenacious D and the Green Lantern Ring. Jack'd beat his enemies by slapping them around with a huge green penis, or some such...

[neodevilbane]

Cocksucker.

[AkatsukiShinobi82]

jack black is such a flaming homosexual. his movies are as lame as feminist activist groups. he's not funny, never was and never will be. hollywood sure knows how to waste their budget on this fat fucking tard

[evilgenius420]

well said hes like a 2$ whore after cheap night useless and half as good as he used to be

[shitokimushroomsman]

You guys are fuckin stupid. Jack is obviously not a waste of money cause people watch and buy his stuff. Plus he's a good actor- YOU try to do his facial expressions and I guarantee you... YOU'LL FUCKIN FAIL YOU COCKSUCKER!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[hulkmam3]

jack black should play the fat comic book guy from the simpsons.

[Jwlynas]

He did better than that, he played Comic Books Guys Rival in one episode. And won!

[Nonsa]

@hulkmam3 Dude, Kyle Gass would be the best Comic Book Guy. EVER.

[BruntKill]

Hid like make a guitar out of green, and Rock evils socks off xD

[WidowWitch]

Kermit the frog should play green lantern

[heartofzorro]

Jack Black only could be Guy Gardner. Besides that forget him...

[NCBCSPRINGRETREAT]

This would have been SOOOOO stupid!! I love Jack Black, but with how long it's been taking I want to see a quality green lantern movie!!! THANK GOD it's not happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[darkosprey34]

He could be G'Nort!!!!

[xLazyNinja]

Denzel Washington Should be the Green Lantern

[basketballerman]

when that girl said "why that would be so funny' I wanted too slap her

[parsimony742]

He might actually be able to pull of Guy Gardner, come to think of it.

[LilM0]

No, he wouldn't >_>

[The9thPawn]

lol of course he could be the green lantern, just add make up and shit to make him black like they did to Robert Downey Jr. :P

[arashimoomoo]

they wouldnt make him black because the originnal green lantern is white

[The9thPawn]

I didn't know that. Thanx for the info.

[jacksun12]

jack black aint no green lantern, that would be the most stupid thing ever

[buddyweemss]

demonoroli that shit you said was comedy super funny shit

[demonoroli]

I swear ill be pissed if it ends up being Samuel L Jackson "aint nobody gonna take this motha fuckin ring from my motha fucking hand it gives me power!!!! Cant you see it glowing green!!!"

[feq2000]

Thank god is not going to happen

[sycogenisis]

fuck no i wouldent want him to be green lantern ethier

[teawead]

He can be green fatter.

[eatingfood1]

NO!

[jaya1985]

ecballer40 nahhh i think Derek Luke would be a better fit cause hes young and hes never been in action movie yet and hes a very great actor

[JohnnyPastrami2]

Another Fat Fu*** thinking he can be Green Lantern Or The Green Hornet....Are the mirrors broken in their houses or do they just drink a lot???

[ecballer40]

Common the rapper is playin john stewart in the justice leauge moive so i think he would be a good fit.

[mastermonarch]

If your gonna do a Green Lantern movie bare with me Kevin Federline as the Green Lantern with a spinner ring

[ANBU625]

Actually they'd half to do the first GL which was a white guy so there's no way they'd do the second GL first. That just wouldn't be right.

[ANBU625]

LOL if jack were the green lantern then Jack would half to lose some weight and beef up.

[BlockBleedin]

I meant to say Hal Jordan should be Thomas jane or the guy who played The captian of the army in transformers

[BlockBleedin]

TYRESE GIBSON YOU MORONS HE SHOULD PLAY JOHN STEWART. . .HAL JODARN SHOULD BE PLAYED BY THOMAS JANE THE GUY WHO PLAYED THE CAPTAIN OF THE ARMY TEAM IN TRANSFORMERS. . .Guy Gardner could be played by the guy who played aquaman in the episode of smallville and Kyle Rayner could be played by Ben Afleck if he doesnt do another daredevil movie

[tallarico84]

WOW I hope you never cast a movie in your life because those are the worst choices ever. ben affleck geez!

[elkonazo]

roddy piper(young)wud have been a GREAT GUY GARDNER...for some reason i think guy is loosely based on him!

[cobanjo]

if its John i think WIll Smith should play the role

[greenion13]

it would be best i think for it to be hal. hal was the silver age lantern. plus heis the strongest of them all. but sam jackson as john stuart would be weird. i mean he's already nick fury. kinda overkill dontcha think?

[PreparationH]

How about Arnold Schwarzenegger. He would be Awsome, I don't care if he's 60, it would still be awsome. " I GOT THE RING GET DOWN!!!" lol ; D

[tallarico84]

Thats so funny I gave your comment a thumbs up. LOL

[8yume]

@PreparationH Can you imagine him saying the Green Lantern Oath?

[PreparationH]

@8yume Yes :)

[julian725]

so they going to make a GL movie, and Jack black might be a little off for the role, the person best for the job is Samuel L Jackson

[xmanblob13]

why does everyone want john stewart? hal jordan is the best

[julian725]

actually Vin Diesel hasn't been in a superhero movie, he would be a great GL, either a GL or another badass superhero which i cant think of right now

[xmanblob13]

you know john stewart and hal jordan arent actors, right? hal and john are green lanterns

[julian725]

oh that John, i thought you were talking about the guy from the Daily Show, but yeah, that John was in the justice league, and his son is a badass in a way

[bleach13naruto]

well a true GL movie would be about the corps in my opinoon... aka many lanterns

[wolfborn10]

eh, Samuel L Jackson is already doing Nick Fury.

[julian725]

they should get Denzel Washington to do GL

[pipelip42]

I would love to see do the third green lantern (johns stewart). Green contacts and all

[lilkflash]

MAKE THE GUY BLACK

[heartofzorro]

Jack Black not even know what is a green lantern. it's WillPower, not a battery inside a ring duhhh. Thank you for not making the movie. So relief...

[shinyregigigas]

Jack Black, that porcine poseur could never be the Green Lantern. That sniveling jewnugget.

[jackblacksharkattack]

i love jack black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[videomaster113]

there is going to be a gl movie im playing him thats all i can say

[chirp420]

another joke!!

[Timmydaggerownz]

if he becomes green latern it must be comedy

[psychowarrior]

He could be Green Lantern in the same sense that Woody Alan could play Batman.

[Nianticbay]

Did I hear Kyle ask what is his power. Are you shitting me, he dosen't know ???

[nessieman]

is there even gonna be a Green Lantern Movie?

[Tommylad2]

yes, if the new Justice League movie does well there planing to make a green lantern and flash movie, infact I think there already in production, no one knows which lantern the movie will be based around tho

[nessieman]

yh i wasnt sure if it would have some sort of tie in with the Justice League move

ie but thanks for the info :)

[THEOMAR911]

yep coming this 2009 and the jl movie will come out 2010 its oficial

[nessieman]

are you sure cos i thought it was JL movie 2009 and GL in 2010?

[THEOMAR911]

Nop sorry dude JL 2010 GL Movie probably its coming this 2009 but its official they will make movie its time that dc movies start making other super hero movie beacuse we all know it is allways superman and batman

[nessieman]

kk thanks for the info :)

[cvjucla3]

Jim Cavizel would of been a great Batman and/or Green Lantern.

[realninja]

thank GOD he's not being the Green Lantern, those that think it's a good idea is an idiot, and knows nothing abut comics.

[PlushJake]

I thought Patton Oswalt got the part.

[kimkapwam]

el actor mas idoneo para ser Linterna Verde es Will Smith,es perfecto, WILL SMITH AS GREEN LATERN SUPER COOOLLLLL AMAZINGGGG PERFECT

[TaddeoValestra]

hey dude check out my Green Lantern comic trailer. im sure you;ll enjoy watching it!

[zombiemanic08]

i would like him to be green lantern

[RYMAN70]

ok people here is my list for green lanterns as far as a movie or tv show goes ok / David Boreanaz AS Hal Jordan / Milo Ventimiglia AS Kyle Rayner / Leonard Roberts AS John Stewart

[Rocketboy1313]

Is this Blair Butler from G4 who asked this question?

[kleptodog]

He'd be more of a Guy Gardner, because Jack Black can be a funny asshole.

[CrescentSword]

WHEW! I am sooOoo glad thats over. Jack is very cool, however, to pick him dissrespects the title. Yes the comic bloggers were pissed. I pick David Boreanaz for Hal, Chris O'Donnell for Kyle, and Terry Crews for John..

[mookixox]

Chris is already known as Robin why the hell pick him for a GL.

[CrescentSword]

For the same reason Johnny Depp is known for Willie Wonka AND the Pirate-dude. The Robin part is not comming back around; if it does it will not be played by Chris. It was said that no one could play Joker but Jack Nicholson; the Joker in 08 Batman is not Jack. How many Batmans have there been? Chris was a random thought. Whomever plays Kyle has to have cool hair; Chris should be bald by now. Whom do you suggest, eh?

[mookixox]

Yes johnny depp did play two characters that have nothing to do with superheroes u got me there. And hollywood has also turned the king pin into a big black guy and a white catwoman into a black halle berry, does that make ur point anymore relevant...no it does not. I do agree that gl should have cool hair that is why there are make up and hair stylists on a movie set. Going by ur logic I suggest ANYONE WITH HAIR.

[CrescentSword]

Chris has hair, why cant he be Hal or Kyle? Actualy you made my point more relevant. The hero is the costume; it doesn't matter who wears it. Were Chris Reeves alive and healthy would he be in Superman Returns? No, 'cause he's old. Didn't Halle play Catwoman AND Storm? Who says one actor cant have two franchises in the same genre, you? Are you some hollywood power broker? If so I would like to play Jim Rhodes in the upcomming IRON MAN series..

[mookixox]

Well ur logic of thinking is exactly why hollywood churns out these peices of cinematic puke. Berry did play both catwoman and storm and we all know how cat woman turned out...Chris was the first person to pop into ur mind (that explains alot) then u said the GL has to have 'cool hair' wow it seems like u really are in the typical hollywood mind-frame. I'm not saying an actor cant play 2 chars in the same genre I'm saying when they do the film typically suffers (which makes it a stupid idea)...

[CrescentSword]

Hero movies are fiction fantasies, not art films. XM, FF, Bats, are lumped in with Harry, Pirates, and Lords. Catwoman did what all heroine movies did, no worse than Barb Wire or Elektra. You, like Hollywood, are comparing Cat to XM. Kyle Rayner is the dashing young upstart of all the GLs. He also has the most whooped-up hair; it was a joke, stiff-bot. Chris popped-out because he looked less than corny in the mask. Robin was ten years ago. I made 3 picks for GL, your obsessing about Chris.

[mookixox]

I'm not sure where u thought I was talking about art films (apparently commercial films are suppose to suck in ur world)? and I'm not obsessing about Chris at all I think he's a poor pick for a gl and u disagree, all points have been explained so I figure we should wrap this up!

[CrescentSword]

My point is that you're anal about the artistic integrity; perhaps everyone reads comics in your world. Hero films are marketed toward youths, whom don't remember or care who played what over 10 years ago. If the adults like it thats a bonus. The GLfans are picking Danny DeVito to play a Guardian; no one cares that he played Penguin except possibly you. Your points are fragile. This was a wrap at the onset!

[mookixox]

U'r right this was a wrap from the onset u'r fine with pathetic choices for prominent movie characters, and I'm not lol.

[CrescentSword]

MOOK: Are you a trucker? You take a long time to respond; forgot all about you. You have yet to make any better choices for GL. You don't like O'Donnell, cool. Your sole premise is that he is "known as Robin", that's a pathetic and irrelevant position. Chris Jericho needs a breakout, perhaps he is a better choice. He can do the action and the wrestle-fans would turn out to see him. Again, where are your picks?

[subfighter316]

He doesn't looka thing like Hal,John, Guy, Kyle,Alan, or anyother GL.

[bull705]

Jack Black would not have been the reason the movie would flop.From columns I've read about the script it's downright hideous!Ex-SNL hack writer(and apparent superhero hater)Rob Smigel wrote it and completely disrespected the concept.He apparently never got over seeing a Green Lantern cartoon from the 60's where Hal was flying and his sidekick was straddling him.Hence,the inspiration for tons of unfunny "Ambiguously Gay Duo" cartoons.

[Mysterwright]

Hey man, I've been saying it should be an older GL and GA for YEARS! I'd have it be gritty and urban but comedic like Payback or something. Mel Gibson as GL (Hal Jordan), Bruce Willis as GA (Oliver Queen). It could happen! :D

[XanderGreenRanger28]

he would've been an awesome Guy Gardner

[CrimsomS]

Iono but after seeing this I can't help but think hed do a great creeper...a fat creeper but that's beside's the point.

[sabahanzz]

penis

[DoctorScissors]

Good point.

[kyoshirro236]

God People Calm Down He said He is not doing it

[theastrallord]

this may sound foolish but GL is not really an easy character to sell. im not completely upset with the idea of jack black in a gl fdilm just as long as he isnt the only gl. jack black as a gl doesnt mean comedy...they could go with that element. they could make him like kilowog or kyle rayner who could be made into a more fun character.perhaps a foil to the others. from a creative and industrial perspective it would sell and could be made to fit the spirit of the character

[cdowg187]

Green Lantern is NOT suppose to be funny at all! They tried doing a campy version of Batman, look what happened. Try tried to make Superman Reborn campy, and full of spiders n polar bears, and that fuckin thing never saw the light of day! There should be a Lantern movie but DONE IN THE RIGHT FUCKIN WAY!

[frankiesuarez]

Jack Black playing the Green Lantern is just as absurd as when he put on the Spidey suit in the MTV movie awards a few years back. ABSURD!

[ozzytoys]

now, i'm totally not down with the idea of jack black as GL. but he's not talentless either. tenacious d in the flesh was the most hilarious rock show on the planet. definately worth seeing.

[IndyX]

The reason why comic fans didn't want Jack Black as Green Lanturn? Because Green Lanturn isn't a comedy!! It's a fucking action comic. The only guy who was a comedian was Guy Garder and he wasn't funny, he was a jackass.

[blubuddha]

that fat and talentless actor could never be a super hero. He could be Jaba the Hut thats about it

[aoinatafanboy84]

No, that is Kevin Smith. Jack Black IS the Funny Fat Comedian, not the one who is one movie crack after another.

[Galidan]

Aoinata, I have come to the conclusion that you do not have a brain in your head.

[aoinatafanboy84]

Hmm...let me think about that one. I have no brain because I think a guy who is actually funny is and don't like someone whose jokes can be pulled out of anyone's butt?
