The film is expected to begin production in January. Others considered for the superhero role were the Hangover's Bradley Cooper [who my friend's and i saw in the village a couple weeks back] and superstar Justin Timberlake.
His performance in his most recent work, the Proposal, was hilariously entertaining. But I think what truly proved this hottie's potential was his role in X-men Origins: Wolverine. Reynolds surprised us with an exceptional display of superhuman abilities. I know him best for his comedic performances, but it's easy to see his potential for action film, especially with those rocking hard abs. And he's already got the hair down. ;p
Green Lantern...a film I'm looking forward too.
