I think Justin has the potenial to be an outstanding actor. He needs the right project to skyrocket him in this field. I have always invisioned him playing a cool role in a sci-fi flick or high energy action flick.
==============================================================

You’re right he has and hopefuly he will ge the right project. Something else to look forward to.

For once i’m going to go with EW even if they aren’t alwys right.

GL wasnt the sort of thing that i was thinking of when invisaged future roles.

Sam..I saw it too and I know US Weekly gets about 50% to 60% of their stories wrong, this sounds legit.

Here is what US Weekly says:

Source: Justin Timberlake Not Considered for Green Lantern Role
Friday July 10, 2009
.
Although fans might prefer to see Justin Timberlake in the upcoming Green Lantern flick, he isn’t being considered for the role.
Despite a report in Hollywood Reporter that claimed the singer was in the running for the lead role in the DC Comics adaptation, he didn’t make it through preliminary screen tests, a source tells Usmagazine.com.

Instead, Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto are the three finalists for the part.

And the three actors being considered have something besides the potential part in common.

“It’s actually quite funny in the sense that all three of those men have been linked to Scarlett Johansson,” a source on the film tells Usmagazine.com. “Ryan is married to her, Bradley had an affair with her in He’s Just Not That Into You, and Jared had a fling with her.”

The source also tells Us the character of Hal Jordan — a role producers have been looking to fill for five months — will likely go to Reynolds.

“Ryan Reynolds is going to be cast,” the source says. “He’s as good as got the job. They are literally just waiting to sign contracts and get all the final details tied up, but the role is his.”

A spokesperson for Timberlake had no comment.

Green Lantern is scheduled to hit theaters in June 2011.

You’re right Lala he could surprise everybody but i really hope that he doesn’t do this. Like you, i’m not into comic book movies either.

I’m not even sure if he is a real contender, or if they’re just throwing his name out there for publicity purposes.

If he is going to go for a more commercial role, i’d rather something else and not this.

LOL @ that picture haha. I’m not really into comic book type movies. I don’t think this would be a good move for Justin if he decides to pursue it. But then again, he could also surprise people if it’s good. Who knows.
