It was announced that Martin Campbell will be directing the new "Green Lantern" movie.
He is known as a spectacular, innovative director, so it's definitely a step in the right direction.
Now that we have a director it's time to start thinking about a star. This film will seemingly focus on Hal Jordan as the Green Lantern. When Jordan was given the ring that made him a green lantern, he was described as "utterly honest and without fear."
With these parameters in mind I have a few suggestions on who should play the Green Lantern.
First Choice: Nathan Fillion-Known to fanboys as Captain Mal of "Firefly" and "Serenity" fame, his action hero credits and movie star good looks make him perfect casting. He is also the perfect blend of charm and all-American boy next door.
Second Choice: David Boreanaz-As Angel we got to see his dark side and as Seely Booth we are treated to his lighter side. This range is important because Green Lantern is a superhero who covers all ends of the spectrum. Boreanaz also brings the added experience of having previously voiced the character in the animated movie "Justice League: New Frontier."
Third Choice: Common-If producers decided to go with their original idea of centering the story around John Stewart, they could re-sign Common to play the role.
