10.19.09 J.E. HALEY IN GREEN LANTERN QUESTION MARK?
According to Harry Knowles over at AintitCoolIcan’tSpell, Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen’s Rorschach) is “on the list” to play “Sinestro” in “the Green Lantern movie.” (*air quotes*)
I’m putting this in the caveat as a rumor [??] - as opposed to a rock solid, take it to the bank story. Right now, Martin Campbell is in the process of finalizing the rest of the cast for GREEN LANTERN to surround Ryan Reynolds with. And I’m not sure why, but I’ve just hit the point where I’m giddy and hopeful about a GREEN LANTERN movie. This story came from someone working on the film. That part is solid, what isn’t - and won’t be till it all gets finalized is the fact that JACKIE EARLE HALEY is leading the list to play SINESTRO!!!
Meanwhile, Collider talked to Jackie Earle Haley himself about it, and Haley says he hasn’t heard anything. He also denied ever screen testing for the movie, and didn’t bite anyone’s face or anything, it was really pretty disappointing. Oh yeah, so Sinestro:
Sinestro is the former mentor of Hal Jordan and the arch-nemesis of the entire Green Lantern Corps. Sinestro first appears in Green Lantern (vol. 2) #7 (July-August 1961). He is also revealed to be the father of his successor as Green Lantern, Soranik Natu, in Green Lantern Corps (vol. 2) #35 (April 2009). The visual appearance of Sinestro was based upon British actor David Niven. In 2009, Sinestro was ranked as IGN’s 15th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.
And there’s another 3,000 or so words of Sinestro facts that would be embarrassing for a grown man to know over on Wikipedia. There’s a rich mythology, which is sort of surprising for a character named “Sinestro”, who sounds like he should be a guy on a Mexican soap opera who looks like Wario.

And the guy from Craft Services will play Sterno!
Someone with more time and web-sense than me needs to come up with a “Comic Book Villain or Prescription Drug?” quiz. I bet two out of three people on the street would think Sinestro is something you take for seasonal allergies.
Sinestro sounds like a guy who should be in a movie called The Rise of a Triangle
When his son was in college, he was known as Sinesbro.

Will the weather-controlling wonder sisters Seasonique and Angeliq defeat the evil Xyzal and recover the Cognex device from the caves of Eskalith on the planet Kytril? Will they remember to pick up their Valtrex prescription before the kayak trip? STAY TUNED!
Mexican Wario never has anybody to race, because they all ride in the same cart.

I’m-a Sinestro, I’m against-a Juan.
Mexican Wario throws oranges instead of banana peels.

It’s-a me, Avapro!
I still remember like it was yesterday when Batman came up against his arch-nemesis Lorazipan. Dark Knight was knocked the fuck out for like 12 hours.
My interest in this movie is directly proportional to the amount of time Ryan Reynolds spends shirtless.
Mexican Wario always picks up banana peels.
Captain Prozac comes and rescues me when I haz a sad. :(

Are we sure this isn’t Scientology propaganda?
I beat Mexican Wario’s ghost data on Kalimari Desert. Had to finish in less than 6 days, 9 hours. Easy.
Robo should be disqualified from this game. He’s a pharmacist for fuck’s sake!!
Mexican Wario won the Flower Cup for keeping the Thompson’s Tulips the most well-maintained.
