Columbus Short Is Not Green LanternBy Rafe Telsch: 2007-10-30 19:09:56
We’re getting to the point where it almost seems cooler to have rejected a role in the upcoming JLA movie than to have accepted one. Look at the amount of talent that has said, “no,” to the powers behind the movie: Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jessica Biel for Wonder Woman, Tyrese Gibson for Green Lantern, and, of course, the heavies Christian Bale and Brandon Routh as Batman and Superman respectively.
A new name has been added to the list – not as a cast member but as an actor who has turned down a part in the Justice League movie: Columbus Short (Stomp the Yard). Reportedly, Short was offered a shot at wearing the ring of the Green Lantern, but opted not to take part. Short told MTV Movie Blog that he thinks JLA is going to be huge, but isn’t a movie he wants to be a part of due to the popcorn factor. As the actor isn’t the first actor to mention that (and probably won’t be the last), I can’t help but worry that the movie will suffer from a rushed script. Think about it: Batman Begins, Spider-Man 2, X-Men United, these are all high-bar superhero movies. They also all manage to survive with a significantly low cheese factor. They’re just good stories that are about superheroes. It sounds like JLA is trying to be a good superhero movie, which almost always leads to cheesy plot elements. We really should be getting to the point where we’re reporting actual cast members, yet the rejections keep on flowing. Is this movie actually going to be made or is it going to wind up being the most talked about, unfilmed failure in movie history?
