'Green Lantern' Casting Rumor Suggests Bradley Cooper
Okay, have at it folks...

Like I have said in the past, I am a blank slate when it comes to comic books so when I receive word from Hit Fix telling me they have learned Bradley Cooper has either been in front of the camera already or will be this week testing for the lead role of Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern comic adaptation I simply think, "Great, he's a pretty good actor." Over at Hit Fix they are so confident in Cooper they are willing to say, "I would bet that Cooper's going to be the guy."
Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) is already attached to direct the DC Comics adaptation for Warner Bros., which has already set a December 17, 2010 release date, which means casting news around this time sounds about right. As for the Green Lantern character, I am at a loss.
I have read Hal Jordan is the second Green Lantern and an ordinary man who has been charged with defending a sector of the universe. Apparently he was the first earthman inducted into the Green Lantern Corps and founding member of the Justice League of America.
As for Bradley Cooper, you all know who he is, and you will be seeing him again in The Hangover this summer, a film that is expected to be hilarious.
