David Boreanez may Take the Oath
Marc Guggenheim, Greg Berlanti and Michael Green are just about done with a rewrite to their Green Lantern
feature film script and told Moviehole they anticipate turning it in this coming week.
One of the things that excited Warner Bros. about the proposed project were the production drawings from former comic book artist Brian Murray. He based Hal Jordan on actor David Boreanez, known for Angel but also was Jordan’s voice on the New Frointier animated movie released earlier this year. Carol Ferris was modeled after Sin City’s Carla Gugino.
Boreanez, currently starring on Fox’s Bones, has tested for super-heroes before, first as The Thing in Fantastic Four and later as Superman for Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns.
Now word is bubbing that he may be considered for the live-action version as well.
For George Miller’s stalled Justice League film, GL was going to be John Stewart and played by the rapper Common.
I would've preferred Dylan McDermott as Hal but David is a good second choice. Certainly couldn't see him as Superman.
Boreanaz is my first choice, having seen him over the years on Buffy, Angel and Bones, so I'm happy to hear this.
