Tim Robbins in 'Green Lantern'

As Senator Hammond

Tim Robbins is set to join the Green Lantern feature cast as Senator Hammond, according to the Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog.  The Senator is the father of villain Hector Hammond (played by Peter Sarsgaard, see “Green Lantern Villain Cast”). 

Other cast members include Blake Lively as Carol Ferris (see “Gossip Girl Is Carol Ferris”) and Ryan Reynolds in the title role (see “Green Lantern Gets a Date”). 

The film is set to start shooting in March in New Orleans (if it’s cleaned up after the post-Superbowl parties by then).
