What if he had something similar to the eyegear worn by Cyclops?
Or...and this is borrowing the visual idea of Kyle Rayner's Ion...he generated a green glow on his face that obscured his features, put him in a silhouette? If it's really important that Hal have a secret identity...

I Honestly think, and ya'll will probably laugh at this, that Dennis Quaid should play Hal. As for Sinestro....well I don't know the character well enough to say on him.
Campbell Closing in on Green Lantern!

February 4, 2009
Variety says Warner Bros. is negotiating with Martin Campbell to direct Green Lantern, the live-action film based on the DC Comics hero.
Campbell last directed Casino Royale and recently wrapped the Mel Gibson starrer Edge of Darkness.
Green Lantern is written by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green. Berlanti had once been considered to direct. Instead, WB has attached him to direct This is Where I Leave You, the upcoming Jonathan Tropper novel which will be adapted by the author.
The "Green Lantern" was created in 1940 by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell. Hal Jordan introduced in 1959, a second-generation test pilot, is an ordinary man who was given the power ring and battery (lantern) by a dying alien named Abin Sur. When Abin Sur's spaceship crashed on Earth, the alien used his ring to seek out an individual to take his place as Green Lantern: someone who was "utterly honest and born without fear."
Besides directing a pair of James Bond films - Casino Royale & Goldeneye - Campbell has also directed the two Zorro films with Antonio Banderas. He knows how to direct action; science fiction is a new genre for him, unless you count No Escape.
Still, he's a veteran approaching his 70's. How would he do this?

Green Lantern's one of my favorite comic characters, so I really really hope they do it justice on the big screen. I'm not terribly excited for Campbell as the director, but it could be far worse. I'll have to wait for more news. I'd be fine with Gosling as GL, he's a talented actor. I just hope that they have a talented actor play the villain as well (hopefully Sinestro) and that most of the film takes place in space/other planets. If they set this movie on Earth I'll be pissed.
I like David Boreanaz for the role of Hal. He is in Bones now and played Angel on the TV series before. He also did the voice-over for Hal in the Justice League New Frontiers animated movie.
I really liked the idea that was floating around years ago about a comedy movie for green lantern like the mask. To many serious movie adaptions for comics It would be nice to see some one try a different approach.
