Jackie Earle Haley is rumoured to be on top of the studio’s wish list to play Sinestro in the Green Lantern movie. But as with many of these rumours, they get squashed fast when someone finally gets a mic in front of the source.
Collider caught up with Haley on the red carpet of Spike TV’s 2009 Scream Awards and asked if there is any truth to the rumor. “I was very shocked to hear that. I heard about it the same way you did,” said Haley, adding that nobody has called him to come in for an audition.
While I am not against the idea of Haley as Sinestro, I just don’t see it. Just something isn’t a match. Maybe I would have to see him in the red makeup first.
But unless this rumour turns into negotiation talks with Haley and the studio, this pretty much ends here.
Who is your pick for Sinestro?
