Nolan Casting a Female Villain and Love Interest for 'The Dark Knight Rises'

Deadline, who first  broke the news that Tom Hardy has joined the cast of The Dark Knight Rises, now is reporting another interesting casting rumor.

"Chris Nolan is lining up actresses he'll meet for two female lead roles in The Dark Knight Rises, the third installment of the Batfranchise which Warner Bros has dated release on July 20, 2012. I'm told one of the roles is a love interest for Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne, and the other is a villain. The actresses are: Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley."

Does the mean the Catwoman and Talia Al Ghul rumours could possibly be true since Nolan is indeed looking for a female villain?  On the other hand, there are of plenty of love interests for Bruce Wayne that they could pick from the comic books.

My gripe with this rumor is centered around Blake Lively.  There is no way in hell Warner Brothers is going to allow Blake Lively (aka Carol Ferris) the star of the fist of three Green Lantern movies to play another character in Christopher Nolan's, The Dark Knight Rises. Thus, I have a hard time believing the validity of this claim.  We'll just have to wait and see.

The Dark Knight Rises is set to be released on July 20, 2012!

Green Lantern Movie Update: Ryan Reynolds Reveals GL Power Battery!

The pics from Saturday night's SCREAM 2010 awards gave away what the Green Lantern's power battery would look like in the movie.  

Comic Book Movie then obtained a picture of the actual power battery that is used in the actually Green Lantern movie released next summer. 

I don't really like the way the battery looks in this picture. In fact, it doesn't really look like a battery at all.  It looks like it is was built for a junior high-school play or for some 1960s sci-fi "B" movie. What do you think?

Official GREEN LANTERN Movie Site Launches

The official Green Lantern website has launched at GreenLantern.com and, while the current website is pretty sparse, it does offer an all-new animated look at the film's official logo.

Green Lantern  stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, Blake Lively as Carol Ferris, Mark Strong as Sinestro and Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond with a supporting cast that includes Tim Robbins, Taika Waititi, Temuera Morrison, Angela Bassett, Jay O. Sanders and Jon Tenney. Directed by Martin Campbell, the film hits theaters June 17, 2011.

Will We See Blake Lively As Star Sapphire in Green Lantern Movie?

Blake Lively chatted with MTV and was asked about playing Carol Ferris in Green Lantern following her role in The Town.

"To get to do a role like this that is so dark and so different and so broken and then to go be in a superhero movie opposite such amazing actors and an incredible director, and not just be the damsel in distress, be a fighter pilot, be his boss at the company, to play women with strengths are the characters I'm most attracted to," Lively said.

Carol ultimately becomes the villain Star Sapphire in the comics, but will there be any signs of that in the first film?  "No, not yet," Lively added. "Well, I mean, there are always winks and homages to certain things in the comics for the fans, but I don't think you know yet how evil she turns."

The Martin Campbell-directed Green Lantern is scheduled to hit theaters on June 17.

Alien GREEN LANTERN Movie Characters Revealed

First it was Killowog or was it?  then it was Tomar or was it?  Now Comic Book Movies has apparently tracked down designs for M'Dhana, Galius Zed,  Salaak, Rot Lop Fan, Bzzd, Morro and Boodikka.  Here are the images.  What do you think?  Believable? 

GREEN LANTERN #59: Includes Exclusive Reveal for GREEN LANTERN Film

As if anyone needs reason to buy Geoff John's GREEN LANTERN comic book.  The comic itself is one of the best books on the market and has been since he took over and begin piecing together his story (HAL JORDAN SECRET ORIGIN, SINESTRO CORP. WAR, BLACKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY). 

Now you have another reason to pick up the  comic book.  GREEN LANTERN #59 will include an exclusive first look at a member of the GREEN LANTERN CORPS from the 2011 live action GREEN LANTERN film.

I wonder if each monthly issue of GREEN LANTERN will feature an exclusive reveal as we move closer to Summer 2011.  Who do you think will be the first character revealed in October in GREEN LANTERN #59?

FIRST LOOK: Kilowog from Green Lantern Movie

Comic Book Movie had this image on their website earlier today and claimed this is the Kilowog we will see in next summer's Green Lantern movie.  I like the concept and am hopeful this is the version we will see on the big screen.  What do you think Poozers?

Michael Goldenberg Tapped to Write Green Lantern 2

Reports are swirling that Michael Goldenberg has been hired to pen the screenplay for Green Lantern 2. He's no stranger to the character – having been involved with writing on the first film. This comes months after his co-writers Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim were commissioned to cook up a treatment.

No word on when WB would plan to unleash the Lantern follow-up. But you can bet that they're going to wait and see the results of Martin Campbell's freshman installment before fully committing to another one. The soonest it'd probably be unleashed is 2013/2014.

What would you like to see in the next Green Lantern movie?  Who should be the major nemesis?  Should Jon Stewart, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rainer, etc. be in the movie?

Blake Lively Looked Sexier Than Ever at Comic Con

Blake Lively was at Comic-Con to promote ‘the Green Lantern’, and she and Ryan Reynolds sat on a panel to discuss their upcoming movie.

Her mouth moved and some guy, named Ryan was on stage with her but it was difficult to pay attention. For some reason, everyone in the audience had their mouths open and tongues out like the Wolf in a Tex Avery cartoon.

Green Lantern Movie Plot & Surprise Villain Revealed

Warner Brothers announced some interesting news concerning the Green Lantern movie scheduled for release next summer. Gfest is proud to share with you some of the official details.

Bringing the enduringly popular superhero to the big screen for the first time, “Green Lantern” stars Ryan Reynolds (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, under the direction of Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”).

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Blake Lively Makes Green Lantern Movie's Carol Ferris Look so Damn Hot

Gfest is very excited about the Green Lantern movie that will release next summer. Now we are even more excited for the Green Lantern Movie next summer.  Blake Lively is currently filming the movie “Green Lantern” playing leading lady Carol Ferris.

Vogue recently interviewed the gorgeous Blake Lively.

The comic book movie role is a departure from the norm for the actress best known for playing “Gossip Girl’s” Upper East Side resident blonde bombshell, Serena van der Woodsen — who isn’t used to high-powered action scenes.

“Our director likes it real — the fights close and dirty,” she told Vogue, noting she’s working with a stunt coordinator from several James Bond movies, as well as Cirque du Soleil acrobats to perfect her big screen battle techniques.

Yet, it’s not all pain and no gain for Blake.
“I’m 40 feet in the air, spiraling around. That’s the best workout you can ever do because it’s all core,” she continued. “You do that for ten minutes and you should see your body the next day! It’s so exhilarating, so thrilling—and nauseating.”
