Jack Black cast as Green Lantern. World ends.
According to Ain't it Cool News, Jack Black has been cast as Green Lantern in the upcoming movie. On their boards and at CHUD...

Baba-Lou: "Duck Dodgers did this story already. Daffy picks up GL's suit by mistake at the laundry. Hilarity ensues. I've seen Daffy Duck, and you Jack Black are no Daffy Duck."

thenewpulp: "Warner Bros. has also announced their zany comedy about the holocaust and how all the jews died in a funny and crazy way, funnily enough Jack Black will also star, with Ben Stiller and the rest of the Jewish cut out cast. Yeah... that basically makes as much sense as a comedy featuring Green Lantern."

badboymason: "This could lead to a fantastic franchise of Jack Black playing every DC hero in hilarious comedies: "Jack Black plays the Flash! - When a streaker is struck by lightning he gains the power to streak at the speed of sound! Hilarity ensues." "Jack Black plays Superman! - An alien baby crashes to Earth, with superpowers and an hilarious alien inability to understand Earth's customs - hilarity ensues." and so on..."

cloudrider: "not that i ever think green lantern is a cool superhero, but... BAHAAAHAAAAAAHAAA!!!MUAAHAAAAHAAHAAAAAHAAA!!!!! honestly, WHO THE HELL is running WB studio? gay robot monkeys????"

Richard Dickson: "And somewhere William Katt's dreams of a big-screen version of Greatest American Hero evaporate in a puff of smoke and cheap booze."



I'd have to say Devin Faraci at CHUD has quite an interesting take on the whole shebang, mainly that everyone should just cut it out since Green Lantern isn't really all that "big" anyway.

(Don't miss the lively discussions about Catwoman and Batman!)

I have to say that I agree with Devin Faraci, personally, in that fanboys need to take a chill pill here. It's a movie. The world isn't going to end.

...in fact, the whole thing kind of reminds me of the whole licensing as the most evil force in the universe thing that seems to run rampant in the anime fandom.

You'd think they'd have bigger things to bitch about. Like say, the news about Jessica Simpson and X-men 3. But that's just me....

I believe Jessica Simpson is rumored for the role of Dazzle.

Never, ever EVER. Anytime someone in this house goes off about bad casting, someone will inevitably shout 'At least they didn't cast KEANU!'

And then we cry for a few minutes.

*grins*

Biggest bitching session about comic casting EVAAAAAAH occured last week when my friend and I found out they were casting Chris Evans to play Johnny Storm. We whined, we threatened boycotts, we suggested that it was a huge and twisted plot to drive us insane.

Of course then we found out that they didn't mean *our* (uk) Chris Evans as pictured here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/years/1993/gallery/340/evans.jpg

But this Chris Evans - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0262635/

Still don't see the Johnny right off, mind you. But a blonde dye job and a good script will probably carry it off.

Shit, they didn't say which one he's playing! If it's the new one or the prototype with the stupid costume, no biggie. Hal Jordan's memory is sacrosanct, though. And I will smack down any fool who contradicts.

If there's any show that revels so much in Godwin's Law so much that it actually becomes non-existant, it's that one.

WHO THE HELL is running WB studio? gay robot monkeys????"


Gay robot monkeys. I'll have to keep that phrase in mind when I see 'I, Robot'. Even if it's terrible, I can now image a boardroom full of monkeys with their feet up on the desk, smoking cigars as they cast movie roles by playing Go Fish.

That all depends on what movie they're discussing. You've gotta bet that when it comes time to talk HP, only the best wanking gay robot monkeys best and brightest are called. It's all about quality at the WB.

Amen.

They should put this disclaimer on movies from now on:

At least it'll get some people to pick up the book. And fling it at the screen.
