The Warner Bros production is scheduled for a May 22, 2009 release.
Common was slated to play the Green Lantern in the Justice League of America film, but it was recently rumoured to have been scrapped.
I wrote about Common being in Terminator 4 over at Highbrid Nation and I was interested in seeing what others had to say on the matter. All I have to say is that Common must have a heck of an agent because he’s constantly getting good roles though he doesn’t appear to be that great of an actor. I’ve also already convinced myself that T4 will be a very different beast than the Terminator movies I grew up on. They are including rappers in the cast and have anounced PG-13 rating. Even as a hip hop blogger I have to say “no thanks”. Give me the blood and gore and keep the kiddies out.
