LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Blake Lively will play Ryan Reynolds' love interest in the superhero movie "Green Lantern."
The "Gossip Girl" star will play Carol Ferris, who runs her father's aerospace company and hires cocky test pilot Hal Jordan (Reynolds), who later becomes the intergalactic policeman Green Lantern.
In the DC Comics series, the romance became complicated when an alien race bestowed on her the power of a crystal called the Star Sapphire.
The big-budget sci-fi movie is scheduled to shoot in Louisiana in March with an eye toward a June 17, 2011 release. Martin Campbell will direct the Warner Bros. project.
The search for the leading lady was almost as intense as the one for its title star. Keri Russell and Jennifer Garner were reportedly among those in the mix for the role.
The role called for a slightly older actress but 22-year-old Lively impressed the studio and filmmakers with her audition. Warners was also impressed with her work in "The Town," its adaptation of the gritty Chuck Hogan novel directed by Ben Affleck now in post-production.
The casting process will next turn its eye to the roles of Dr. Hector Hammond, one of the key villains, and the alien known as Sinestro.
