Bradley Cooper was in contention to play Hal Jordan in the upcoming Green Lantern movie, but was beat out by Ryan Reynolds.

ObsessedWithFilm.com asked the actor if he would be interested at all in playing The Flash.

It was reported that Cooper was in the lead for the role of Barry Allen as Marc Guggenheim, Michael Green and Greg Berlanti have worked on the story with Guggenheim and Berlanti on the script.

The actor responded reluctantly with:

“Well I auditioned for the The Green Lantern and didn’t get it so I’m reluctant to put on the cape again.”

Cooper is currently starring in the sci-fi move Limitless with Robert DeNiro that sees a former cocaine-addict who discovers a top-secret drug which bestows him with super human abilities.

Check out the trailer for Limitless below and here for a few clips from the movie featuring Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro in action.

Limitless is in theaters March 18th.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer: Behind The Scenes Images

Here are some behind the scenes images from the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).

Images come via Doug Jones, who portrayed the Sentinel of the Spaceways.

The first six feature a test of Doug Jones getting make-up applied, two images how they did some of the Surfer’s movements, The Thing (Michael Chilkis) getting touched up, a double of Doom, and the sixth with Chris Evans as “Johnny Thing.”

I always thought this movie was pretty awesome and felt Jones did the Surfer well. It actually never bothered me that they didn’t show Galactus – I suppose you could argue that his silhouette appeared over the rings of Saturn (if I recall, correctly).

I wasn’t a big fan of Jessica Alba as the Invisible Woman or Julian McMahon as Doctor Doom, not that the acting really mattered all that much.

Still – it was a fun movie!

New York, NY – March 11, 2011— Marvel Knights Animation is proud to announce Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers, an all-new four-episode series debuting on iTunes, Xbox LIVE, and PlayStation®Network on Monday, March 28th. Further episodes debut weekly on Wednesdays beginning April 6th, with each high-definition episode priced at $2.99 (standard definition is also available at $1.99/episode).

Inspired by the acclaimed graphic novel from Robert Rodi and Esad Ribic, Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers takes a powerful look inside the minds of Thor & Loki, brothers in the mythical land of Asgard and seemingly forever enemies. But just why does Loki hate his brother Thor? And could it be that this master of mischief isn’t really the villain he’s been branded? Loki’s insatiable lust for power and his feud with Thor take on new meaning in this resonant epic.

“It’s been an incredible experience developing and producing Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers,” says Ruwan Jayatilleke, producer of Thor & Loki. “The source material by Robert and Esad is absolutely brilliant and works on so many different levels as a story for multiple mediums. To be honest it’s been an honor–and a blast — to work with the talented creatives of Magnetic Dreams, Edge Studio, Underground Music, and NYAV! What we’ve put together as a team will further define and push the boundaries of what Marvel Knights Animation can be as well as entertain comic book enthusiasts and mainstream fans with a very compelling piece of content.”

He’s the Super Hero everyone’s talking about and before Marvel Studios’ Thor feature film debuts, experience one of Thor’s most popular stories in comic history through cutting edge animation. It’s Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers—and you’ll never see the world of Thor the same way ever again!
