Earlier today a report surfaced on Hitfix.com that Bradley Cooper may be suiting up for Warner Bros.’ upcoming Green Lantern movie, causing an explosion of excitement in the film blogosphere. But according to a source involved with the production, it’s no done deal. “He came in and met [director] Martin Campbell. He’s definitely in contention, everyone’s very interested in him, but it’s far from being decided,” the source says. “He’s one of the people that’s in serious consideration, but he’s not in a negotiation.”
Warner Bros. is certainly high on Cooper right now, having already greenlit a sequel to his upcoming bachelor-party comedy The Hangover, which is getting great pre-release buzz. And with Star Trek bound to also spawn sequels, rumored Green Lantern contender Chris Pine may now already have a franchise of his own.

the anticipation is killing me! Who will play Hal Jordan!?
They’d be wise to get someone a little younger, or at least younger looking. If you start off looking 40ish, there’s not much time to make sequels before you’re looking downright geriatric.
This news just made my day!
can scott porter play The Flash????
Yes please.
i thought the GL was black????
Paul, Bradley Cooper is only 34!!! Not exactly geriatric.
If anyone besides Jensen Ackles is picked to play Hal Jordan, it means that someone out there knows very little about the property. Jensen embodies the cocky, no-fear, flyboy mentality Jordan has always had.
@kslate there are multiple green lanterns. the one you are referring to is jon stewart. the movie will be based on hal jordan.
Was this the movie that SEth rogan was supposed to film?

Coop! Yes! I’ve loved you since Alias
I like Bradley Cooper, and have since “Alias”, but I just don’t see him in that role…the idea of Jensen Ackles is a good one, but I have to say, when you look at Chris Pine, you just see the complete physicallity of Hal Jordan…my vote is with Chris Pine.
Bradley Cooper would be an awesome choice!
If they are going the Hal Jordan route Nathan Fillion would be perfect.
My pick for GLs has always been Dennis Leary as Guy Gardner, and Ahmed Best as G’Nort…
