    Surprisingly there hasn't been much news on the Green Lantern movie lately.  Another surprise is that Carol Ferris hasn't been cast yet.  Ryan Reynold has recently said that the movie won't be heavy focused on the origin but Carol should have a good size role in Hal Jordan's story.
     
    Latino Review has posted an exclusive bit of news saying the role of Carol Ferris has been narrowed down to five candidates.  While this is only speculation at this point, for some reason I hadn't really thought of it before.  The five candidates are:
    • Eva Green.  She was last seen in Casino Royale and does have Green in her name.
    • Keri Russel.  Recently voiced the animated Wonder Woman and has shown she can handle action in Mission: Impossible III.
    • Diane Kruger.  She was in Inglourious Basterds and National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
    • Blake Lively.  She's from Gossip Girl.  I have no idea what her acting skills are.
    • Jennifer Garner.  I did like the TV show Alias but there's also the Elektra movie to think about...
     
    Now we get to wait to see if one of these ladies will get the role.  If I had to choose, I'd go with either Keri Russell (she's proven in several roles that she can act) or Eva Green (since she has worked with director Martin Campbell and also has darker hair).  Kruger and Lively both seem too blonde to play Carol.  Yes hair can be dyed but I'm not sure how they'd look as brunettes.  And Garner, I do like her but I'm not sure if I'd want to see her in this role.  What are your thoughts?  Which of these five do you think could fit the role best?  Do you have someone else in mind when thinking about Carol? 
     
    Here are the five in the order they were mentioned up above:

    From the list, I feel most comfortable with Eva Green. I liked her in Casino Royale. I think Kate Beckinsale would be a good choice. What do you guys think?

    I'm not a huge fan of Eva Green, so not here. Kruger's okay but a little stilted for my liking. Lively looks like a living Barbie and I have no idea if she can act or  not (I suspect not), I love Garner but she feels a little wrong for the role...
     
    ...so I guess that leaves Keri Russell.

    @mclovin:
    I think Beckinsale would be great for Carol. 

    I like Blake Lively but idk if she would be right for the role...I'd be willing to give her a shot because I'm interested to see if she her take on such a role, but I remain skeptical in terms of her actually pulling it off. 
    I guess out of that list I would be MOST comfortable with Eva Green, as far as appearance and acting chops go... 
    I guess basically if I was playing Hal Jordan, I would just like Blake Lively better for the role lol :)

    @AngelFrost:  Please no to Blake Lively. She would not fit the role at all. It is one thing to like an actress, but you have to understand how she fits in. With Reynolds being 33 years old, it would be weird to cast a 20-something like Lively. I think Eva Green would be the best casting and I would be happy seeing her in the role, since she had a similar character in Casino Royale and she would fit better with Reynolds.

    @HaHaManHV:  Eva's younger, but she'd look weird kissing Ryan Reynolds, she looks older than him. And to be honest, I'm sick of seeing the same people over and over again on movies like this, it's better giving other actressess a shot, Blake Lively is stunning, beautiful and she can act. Plus, I can totally believe that Ryan and Blake would be a couple on-screen, I just can't see that with Eva or Jennifer.

    The other thing to think about as well is who would work well with Ryan Reynolds.  They'd have to be able to create that chemistry.  I'm sure creating chemistry with Reynolds wouldn't be difficult though.

    Green definately also Kruger.
     
    Eva is just plain hot, and Kruger worked well with her cast in Bastards so im sure she can work with a man who combines all of the actors in that movie.

    I would have to say Eva or Kerri would be the best choices out of this list. 
     
    Catherine Bell wouldn't be a bad choice either. 

     
     


     
     
     
    Or Morena Baccarin from V perhaps

    @AngelFrost: I think we can agree with a no to Gardner. I would be happy with pretty much any of these except her, in the end it comes down to the script. If they cast Lively, I can see her pulling it off, but I just think that she doesn't have the right "stuck-up but still likable" flair that Eva Green has.

    I would have to disagree! Carol Ferris and Vesper Lynd are COMPLETELY different characters! Yes, they're both skeptical of their counterparts' methods and styles, but Carol is much more headstrong, and at times, as stubborn as Hal Jordan, and Carol has A LOT of integrity. Whereas Vesper was much more cautious and secretive, and much less open with Bond than Carol is with Hal... but thats neither here nor there! lol
     
    I like Keri Russel... Eva Green is attractive enough and she's a decent actress, i just don't think she's right for the role at all. Blake Lively is pretty, but I think she may be TOO pretty, and she looks a little too young. However, I could totally see Blake playing Cowgirl (if it ever came to that, which it probably won't). 
     
    I like   Diane Kruger, but like @AngelFrost: said: 

    " I'm sick of seeing the same people over and over again on movies like this"

     
    The thing I like about Keri is she's pretty, and I find it a little more believable that she could be a pilot and own/run an airfield. I can't see Eva Green OR Blake Lively in that position! ....and I don't even wanna go into why Garner is wrong for this movie!! LOL

     Gotta be someone good enough to play across from Ryan Reynolds, and I think Garner is too aggressive to play love interest to Reynolds. Morena Baccarin would be an awesome choice, though.

    @HaHaManHV: Hooray, I love Eva Green, she's a wonderful actress, but I don't think she'll share chemistry with Ryan. But I think Blake will, and yeah, no one knows if she can pull it off, but atleast they'll be giving her a chance, than the obvious choice of Eva or Jen.

    IMO none of those women have the Carol Ferris feel... theyd HAVE to dye their hair, so I guess I vote for whoever pulls off the brunette look the sexiest

    For me, it's Lynn Collins (who played Dawn Green in True Blood). I could see her playing Carol, in my opinion, they're almost identical.
    Plus, she's not that well known, so that'll be good for the producers and stuff. All of the girls above are blonde and Eva Green looks like a bloody goth! Anyway, I think I've made my point.

    I've never liked the idea of Star Sapphire or the character AT ALL.  Just keep Carol as Hal's GF and all will be fine for me.

    With Keri Russell, don't you see a few comparisons to her role as Felicity and the Carol Ferris. Both have a certain 'affinity' for a particular guy that tend to have both making drastic decisions. Carol became Star Sapphire and still is hung up on Hal. Felicity chopped most of her hair off and got a show canceled because of it. 
     
    (FYI: I never watched Felicity. I just remember hearing all the talk about how the show was canceled and how the fans were so pissed about the drastic change.)

    @FoxxFireArt: The show actually lasted four seasons.  I believe she cut her hair between the first and second.  Ratings went down and they tried pinning it on that.  I think I read that on wikipedia or something.  My wife dug the show when it was on.  I remember playing Metal Gear Solid in the other room as she watched it.
