According to Latino Review, reliable sources have claimed that Ryan Gosling could be in the running for the lead role of Hal Jordan in Green Lantern. An acclaimed actor, Gosling is known for bringing character integrity to roles in such films as The Notebook, Half Nelson and Fractured. When interviewed about the latter, he discussed a less than heroic hero, which may possibly be similar to the Hal Jordan we meet at the beginning of Green Lantern.
“I liked the character," Gosling said of that part. "Willie’s a character that, most movies like this, in this genre, they’re like really virtuous guys - like natural heroes waiting to come out,. And this guy’s not. He’s not good. He’s not a good guy, and he never really is. He’s the good guy in the movie because he’s better than Anthony’s character. But he’s not really that good and he’s not bad, and he’s okay with that. As long as he’s not a bad guy he can live with it. He’s just naturally kind of a narcissistic, self-obsessed, selfish guy with tons of ambition. He’s kind of put in a situation in this movie where if he [spoiler deleted] for a promotion, he’s going to officially be a guy he doesn’t want to be, so he reluctantly does the right thing. In the whole film doing the right thing is kind of a pain in the ass for him, and he never makes some kind of huge moral shift. He just reluctantly walks that line, and I thought that that was probably more realistic.”
Obviously this doesn't have a lot to do with Hal Jordan, but it nonetheless provides an insight into the actor's thought processes.i
