Chris Pine to play Green Lantern?
After playing Capt. Kirk in the upcoming "Star Trek," I imagine Chris Pine could pretty much have his pick of roles. And it looks like he might be playing yet another hero – Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, a DC Comics superhero.
According to a story on IESB yesterday, it was just a rumor. However, Latino Review says it’s the real deal.
I think he’d make a great Green Lantern. The character was created by John Broome and Gil Kane, and first appeared in Showcase #22 (Oct. 1959).
The movie is scheduled to begin filming in Australia this September. Any thoughts?

He’s certainly got a “good look” for the character. I’ll give a more definite thumbs up or down after I see Star Trek.
