He’s not in the Green Lantern cast list, but I’m told that Oscar-nominated The King’s Speech star Geoffrey Rush plays an important role in the Martin Campbell-directed Warner Bros film that stars Ryan Reynolds. Sources said that it’s Rush who provided the voice for Tomar-Re, the scientist who works alongside the title character in the Green Lantern Corps. Tomar-Re, who looks a bit like the Creature From the Black Lagoon, has a long history in the DC Comics version of Green Lantern. Warner Bros will unveil footage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas tomorrow, so perhaps some of the mystery might be cleared up by Thursday.
Less certain is who’ll provide the voice for the character Kilowog. Speculation has centered on Michael Clarke Duncan. I’m told that he’s certainly a contender but a final decision hasn’t yet been made. The film opens June 17, so a decision will be made shortly.


So is Michael Clarke Duncan confirmed for Kilowog as well?
Is Tomar-Re on the left or the right?
lol
ha! I was coming in to ask, “shouldn’t that say Rush LOOKING like Tomar-re?”
This movie will bomb so hard. I have yet to speak with one person looking forward to it. Not even kids seem interested. And Superman looks shaky to me. Dubious about the lead and skeptical of Snyder. Maybe they are counting on JLA to come in and save the day if those bomb. Rebooting the bombed franchises from the JLA movie? Complicated scheme.
Said Ambler, the Marvel intern.
Fascinating. Please, go on.
Of course, another way to describe him could be “Oscar WINNER”, for that time he actually won Best Actor, as opposed to the most recently recognisable film he was associated with.
They still don’t know who is doing the voices? Good luck with this bomb.
What happened to John Larroquette? He’s listed on imdb as the voice of Tomar-Re.
Larroquette voiced the character for an animated Green Lantern DVD. IMDB probably linked it to this film as well by mistake.
How are they still casting in April for a film that opens in June?
Didn’t you pay attention? The article’s referring to VOICE acting. It only takes a few hours’ worth of ADR sessions to do the work.
Moron.
Tell me about it … some people are just so clueless and they swear they know everything about everything.
Tomar Re is orange and has a bird like head with a fin on top. There is nothing about him that looks like the creature fron the black lagoon except the fin. He is a bird-like alien,
Oscars only mean one thing anymore. You’ll be doing comic book, Theme Park ride and board game movies.
I’d like to thank Parker Brothers…
Arnold Schwarzenegger for Kilowog!
Or Michael Madsen, who actually did a good job with the character in the most recent “Green Lantern” animated movie.
When did Geoffrey Rush turn into Richard E. Grant?
You (or they) might be confusing the voice cast with this movie or the two animated GL movies. I do believe John played Tomar is First Flight and might return to the role in the new animated DVD this summer. (Tho technically FF was a stand-alone project, and this summer’s Emerald Knights is a tie-in to the live action movie.)
I’m hesitant to judge this movie from the poor CGI in the trailer. Clearly there is a lot of CGI required in the script, most of which was nowhere near ready when the teaser trailer was released.
As a fan of the character and the actor, so I’m hoping the movie is good, but I’ll reserve judgment until I actually see the movie however, instead of proactively rooting for its failure like some movie buffs do for every summer movie.
