Strong Bad Guy

Late yesterday "Green Lantern" director Martin Campbell shot down talk that insisted that Jackie Earle Haley was still first in line to play the villain Sinestro in his upcoming film adaptation of the comic.



"No, that's completely wrong ...In fact, we're in negotiations with Mark Strong to play Sinestro," he tells MTV News--picked up by Variety-- "he's not only a wonderful actor, but he looks like Sinestro. If you look up old pictures of Sinestro, he's very like him. The Jackie Earle Haley thing, somebody told me about it this morning; I had never heard it before in my life."

Strong is another great choice for rhe part that had not even occurred to me--even with his high profile work in Sherlock Holmes.

Campbell adds that we will see other Lantern Corps members in the pic "Kilowog will be. Tomar-Re is in it... Abin Sur is in it. All the origin people."
