Mark Strong Opts for the Green Lantern Forehead Extension
 |
?Geoff Johns says that Mark Strong has been cast as pink, forehead enthusiast Sinestro in the live-action Green Lantern movie. He said it on his Twitter account, so it’s not exactly carved in stone, but I’d imagine Johns is pretty in-the-know on this movie, and would say it’s just as likely to be accurate as a Variety or Hollywood Reporter article. Previous potential Sinestro Jackie Earle Haley still looks more like Sinestro overall, but without his hairpiece, Strong already has a glorious bounty of foreheadedness, so he many not need any actual head prosthetics in the film. Besides, Strong should go a long way to making movie Sinestro look pretty badass. Thanks to Filmofilia for the pic.
