Holy sweet merciful crap. Someone just shoot me in the face. The good folks over at AICN are reporting that Justin “I can’t act to save my life” Timberlake is in serious consideration to play The Green Lantern and was actually doing some test shooting at a local studio for the part.
Look, I actually like Justin Timberlake. I think he’s got a very charismatic personality and is a truly great entertainer… but I love my mom too… doesn’t mean I think she can act. Justin Timberlake can not act. Period. it’s as simple as that. And I’m sorry folks… but doing some light improve skit stuff on SNL does not constitute “acting”.
Granted, I think he would be better for the role than Jack Black… but then again who wouldn’t? I will officially lose any and all hope for that movie if they cast Timberlake.
