Ryan Gosling Has The Power RingBy Katey Rich: 2008-10-09 01:10:56
At this point it's pretty much impossible to cast anyone too unusual as a superhero. If Tobey Maguire, Edward Norton and even Seth Rogen can get out there and fight crime, pretty much anyone can. Still, Ryan Gosling is an actor you'd figure would stick with strictly highbrow fare (he has an Oscar nomination, after all), but Latino Review is saying he might be the newest member of the Justice League.If their source at Warner Bros. has it right, Ryan Gosling will be playing the Green Lantern in his own tentpole movie, set to start shooting next spring. The Lantern is just one member of DC's Justice League, which has been struggling to get its own movie made for some time now. Given Marvel's plans to make individual movies for each of their own superheroes, the only way to make this flood of superheroes interesting is to make the characters worth watching, and casting an actor of Gosling's caliber is definitely a way to do it. We all know Iron Man would have been nothing without Robert Downey, Jr., and The Incredible Hulk benefits from Edward Norton's intense acting style. For the Green Lantern to stand up to them remotely well, he needs to be talented, not just some beefed-up pretty face. Gosling fits the bill, and has the legions of teenage fans left over from The Notebook to get people interested. Even if he doesn't actually have the part, they should keep looking for honest-to-God actors-- not just the new hot thing.
