Hal Jordan/Green Lantern/Parallax would best be played by Michael Douglas. That’s all I got to say.:rolleyes: ---

How 'bout Colin Farrell as Kyle Raynor, Danny DeVito as Ganthet, Steve Buscemi as Sinestro, and Vin Diesel as Mongul? ---

Call me crazy ("You’re _crazy_!), but I’ve always seen Ed Harris in the role of Hal Jordan. ---

Call me crazy, but why not have Jon Stewart played by Jon Stewart? Or Hal Jordan by [Hal Jordan](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Jordan,+Hal+(I)), who has already played a _test pilot_! ---

Wow, Colin Farrell would be perfect as Kyle Raynor. Michael Douglas isn’t good looking enough to play Hal Jordan. ---

Kurt Russell as Hal Jordan. I’d help pay his salary too. ---
