Tim Robbins has signed on with the new comic book film The Green Lantern.

Tim Robbins is joining the cast of “Green Lantern,” the Martin Campbell-directed tentpole at Warner Bros. that’s based on the DC Comics superhero.

Robbins will play Senator Hammond, the disapproving father of the movie’s villain, Dr. Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard), who becomes infused with psychic powers.

Ryan Reynolds stars as Green Lantern, with Blake Lively as the hero’s love interest, Carol Ferris.

The movie is cruising to a March start in New Orleans. Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti are producing.

This movie has a lot of potential given all the talent lined up for it, I just hope it’s not too campy. This is some seriously high-concept stuff, tough to bring to the screen without people bursting into laughter when you don’t want them to.
