'Green Lantern' star Ryan Reynolds now has a leading lady: 'Gossip Girl' star Blake Lively. Blake won the role of Carol Ferris against some pretty stiff competition, including Keri Russell and Jennifer Garner.
The role called for a slightly older actress but Lively, who stars in the CW's "Gossip Girl," 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.
Rather ironic for poor Jennifer, don't you think? Well, I guess it's all part of being in the entertainment business.
Something tells me we're going to be seeing a lot more of Blake on the big screen, don't you think?
