Title: What if... Nathan Fillion was Green Lantern???
Post by: RTTingle on May 25, 2009, 12:44:12 PM
I love Castle, but couldn't picture him as Hal Jordan...

... this fan film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hTiRnqnvDs) certainly made me consider it.

Holy crap, that's the best casting I've heard yet. I'd watch that. He looks the part, he sounds the part, its damn near perfect!

I'm sold.  With him as GL you can have drama with a bit of comedy and pull it off nicely.

I'm not that familiar with GL, but that was by far one of the coolest, most well made fan trailers I've ever seen.

Wow! I love the scene on Oa. the whole thing! I really wish they made some of the films  of the imaginary trailers.

Frankly Im a fan of Nathan Fillion being cast in anything.
Why that guy isn't a bigger star is beyond me....

As an aside him as Steve Trevor in the recent Timm Wonder Woman movie was great (especially the drunk in the bar scene)

As a second aside... while the trailer was well done, Fan trailers really annoy me.

This was one of the best fan trailers i have ever seen. Had i not seen Firefly(and know most of it from memory) i wouldn't have even been able to tell those were edited scenes. All of them were put together in a tasteful way as well. I particularly liked the editing of Silver Surfer into the pink green lantern. Also the FF2 scene with the stretchy invisible rock flame had worked better than it has in orther fan trailers. We need to write a letter to fox(or is it universal studios?). They have they're Hal Jordan...

Wow....just plain wow.....why didn't I think of this before?  That is perfect casting, as good if not better than Edward Norton/Hulk and Robert Downey Jr./Iron Man.  We DO need to write letters...many, many letters.  I mean...Hal is cocky, daring, and bold...Nathan Fillion is PERFECT.

He is too old.

In this day most people wouldn't care. I wouldn't. I think it might fit the character well.

Hal could be a little older, and it would be alright.  Heck, Robert Downey Jr. is in his 40's, right?

For me, Nathan Fillion is just... eugh.... I can't take him seriously at all.

Thats why he should play Hal Jordan. He is just a funky dude. Classic, but funky.

Was the script I read not the script they're using?

Really nice, whoever made that should be proud. Gotta say I'd totally be down with that casting.
