One of the hardest things in making a Green Lantern film would be which Green Lantern do you go with, since there have been like four of them.
1) Alan Scott (the original Golden Age GL; blonde guy, AKA: the Sentinel)
2) Hal Jordan (second GL from the Silver Age; brown hair, looked like Paul Newman, arguably the most famous GL)
3) John Stewart (third GL, black guy)
4) Kyle Rayner (fourth GL, dark hair; I last heard he was muscled out by John Stewart because John was being featured on the animated Justice League series and next I hear he'll be muscled out by the return of Hal Jordan)
Logically you'd go with the most current one, but Hollywood doesn't always obey logic [COUGH::Catwoman::COUGH]
Because of the Justice League cartoon, I think Stewart is currently the most famous Green Lantern. Plus IMO he's a really likeable character, so if Hollywood does what is logical,( not a good track record as Solo Vs Jones said) then Stewart would be good for the movie version.
Then again, with Hollywood's tendencies to randomly change the races of characters (like Kingpin or Catwoman), we'll probably end up with a Japanese green lantern named Ken Toriyama.
