Man, I’ve been waiting a loooooong time to comment on this! I’ve been so busy the last few days. Now on with the post:

First, let me say that I think Chris Pine is a GREAT choice for Hal Jordan. He can look just like him, easily, and has got the acting chops to play Hal and is the right age for the origin story Hal. Plus he’s playing Captain Kirk, who in a lot of ways is just like Hal Jordan, I would be more than happy if he got the part.

…..Which brings me to my next subject: I’m not sure how likely it is to happen. For one thing, he’s gonna be the new face of Star Trek, and depending on how big of a hit Star Trek is, IMO, that may effect whether he gets the part or not. If Trek does great he will be getting all kinds of movie deals and everyone will remember him as Kirk, which may hinder him getting the GL role because he’ll be so well known as Kirk and sought after. If Trek bombs, he may not be wanted by ANY studios to spear-head their major tentpole films – so this is somewhat of a “damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t” type scenario, IMO. I hope it isn’t, I really hope it isn’t, but I’m afraid it might be. (I welcome any words someone may have to convince me otherwise, it would brighten my day )

Even so, Pine is the best person I can think of for the role at the moment, and I still hope he gets the part.

Nope, sorry.

I’m all for Pine as Hal. Sure, there are better actors who could do it but there are far worse actors as well.

There is a diff in people’s looks from 25 – 30 especially depending on the person. Some people it is subtle some however make drastic changes. People can look different from 26 to 27 or 24 to 25 you would sometimes be surprised to look at a picture of your self that is only two years old.

I still do not nor will I ever understand the love of WIlliam Shatner the guy is one of the worst actors of the last 75 Years. The way he delivers lines is the same in everything he does and is always laughable. He is one of the major reason I never liked the original star Trek that and it was very Cheesy. TNG was a much better show. I think Pine has the ability to help make the original characters have a respectable sega.
