Director Martin Campbell studio suits, producers Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti have spent the past five months searching for an actor to play Hal Jordan, the hot-shot Air Force pilot who is chosen by a dying alien to be his successor in an intergalactic police force known as the Green Lanterns.
The trio beat out the likes of Michael Fassbender, Henry Cavill and Jared Leto for spot on the final list and performed two rounds of screen tests.
Unfortunately De Line, Campbell and the studio each had a different favorite among the three finalists, making it difficult to come to a decision.
The holding deal on all three actors expired on Monday, meaning they are now free to take on other projects making a decision on the casting an urgent matter.
The $150-200 million space saga is scheduled to begin production at the end of this year in Sydney for release Summer 2011.
Here's my take on the trio--Reynolds would be my pick of choice but he's got another comic book flick Deadpool to worry about and if the GL team lets him go...
Cooper has had comedy success and is primed for The A-Team pic...
Leaving JT who is talented yes but really doesn't seem like franchise material to me.
