Gossip Girl as Carol Ferris?


According to Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision, the future Star Sapphire for the upcoming movie (which was already in pre production, but until now got the greenlight) has been cast.

But unfortunately out of the choices of Jennifer Garner, Keri Russell, and even Eva Green, they decided to choose someone from The CW’s most advertised show.

“Lively will play Carol Ferris, who runs her father’s aerospace company and hires cocky test pilot Hal Jordan (Reynolds), who later becomes the intergalactic policeman Green Lantern. In the comics, the romance became complicated when an alien race bestowed her the power of a crystal called the
Star Sapphire.

The role called for a slightly older actress but Lively, who stars in the CW’s “Gossip Girl,” impressed the studio and filmmakers with her audition.”

Yeah, I’m sure she “impressed” the execs. Renyolds is in his early 30’s and Blake is 22, the age differences are glaring obvious. Negotiations for Peter Sarsgaard to star as the main villain, Hector Hammond who’s basically an evil Stephen Hawkins with psychic powers is underway.

Mark Strong recently came up for the role of Sinestro, even though the studio still wants Jackie Earl Haley in the role.
