Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper will soon share more than rugged good looks. They’ll split top billing on a buddy movie that’s being described as an edgier, R-rated version of the Lethal Weapon series.

The actors, both strong candidates for the title of PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive, will play cops in the as-yet-untitled action-comedy, in which they recruit their fathers – former police officers themselves – to crack a case, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Both leading men have been exploring the action side of Hollywood lately, with Cooper, 35, recently starring in The A-Team and Reynolds, 33, playing the title role in the upcoming superhero picture Green Lantern.

By Ryan Reynolds

A few weeks ago, I flew over the Deepwater Horizon site and saw what looked like the opposite of all the news reports: it looked more like somebody had spilled water into a Gulf filled with oil.

You don’t have to make a personal trip to the Gulf of Mexico to realize the BP disaster has blown the cover off a subject some would prefer to keep quiet: the ongoing damage inflicted by our addiction to oil.

When you see images of blackened beaches, grounded fishermen, and toxic dispersants in the water, you can’t pretend that it only costs $35 to fill your gas tank.

There are hidden costs in every drop of oil, and that’s why I made this PSA for NRDC about the true cost of a gallon of gasoline.

People in the Gulf are paying a steep price right now. Eleven people lost their lives, but the human cost goes far beyond that. The commercial fishing and tourism economies in the Gulf have been gutted, and local families trying to put food on the table don’t know where to turn. They’ve lost their jobs, wages, cultural traditions, beloved beaches, and security. This is the collateral damage of the disaster.

I didn’t grow up in Louisiana, and I can imagine those who did are even more passionate about cleaning up this mess than the rest of us. I grew up in Canada, where we have a similar tragedy being carried out right now: the ancient boreal forest in Northern Alberta is being destroyed to collect dirty tar sands oil. Oil that generates three times the global warming pollution as regular crude. As a result, entire ecosystems and indigenous communities are being devastated.

When you see what’s happening in the Gulf and the boreal, you realize we’re willing to stop at absolutely nothing in order to get our fix. And it seems to me like it’s time we recognize we have a problem. A major, major problem.

What we’re doing is literally the same thing cave men did: we set things on fire to produce energy. There are so many viable alternatives. Wind farms and solar plants, for instance, don’t explode, destroying thousands of miles of marshlands and oceans. That’s something worth focusing on.

I started out feeling angry about the spill, and I think a lot of other people did too. Slowly but surely, I’ve been trying to redirect that anger into something positive. And you start to think, “How can we change this? How can we turn this into an opportunity?”

I see this whole thing as a wakeup call: a chance to shift to cleaner energy and build a greener economy.

It’s easy to vilify Big Oil after a tragedy like this, but there are still hard working people in that industry who need to put a roof over their heads. I firmly believe we can pass clean energy and climate legislation and by doing so, put millions of Americans to work.

But we have to ask for it. We have to petition the government to move this kind of legislation forward. The Senate failed to do it this summer, but we should call on them to do it this fall.

If the voices are loud enough, lawmakers will start to listen and (if only in the interests of self preservation) begin to move the country in a new direction.

I think our approach to energy is going to change one way or another. Eventually the Earth will make us change. It would be great if we could get in front of that — and better still, be here to enjoy it.

Ryan Reynolds has signed on as narrator and exec producer of “The Whale,” a docu about a wild killer whale that causes upheaval in a small town when he tries to befriend human beings.

Suzanne Chisholm and Michael Parfit directed the film, produced by Mountainside Films. Reynolds signed on to the project because he had a personal connection to the film, which was set near his hometown of Vancouver, B.C.

“The Whale” is the true story of a baby killer whale, nicknamed Luna, who gets separated from his family on the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island. As rambunctious and surprising as a visitor from another planet, Luna endears himself to humans with his determination to make friends, which leads to laughter, conflict and unexpected consequences.

Scarlett Johansson and Eric Desatnik are also exec producing and Desatnik’s handling U.S. sales of the film. World sales are by PBS Intl.

Reynolds is starring as Hal Jordan in Warner Bros./DC Comics’ “The Green Lantern,” due out June 17.

He’ll be seen next in Lionsgate’s drama “Buried” on Oct. 8.

Ryan Reynolds is just such a great guy! At the end of the Green Lantern panel at Comic-Con, they opened up the floor to audience questions. An absolutely adorable little boy asked what it was like to say the Green Lantern Oath. Ryan said, “Well, it goes a little like this…” and proceeded to use his serious, superhero voice to say the oath.

The look on the little boy’s face is just priceless as he hears his hero say the oath, then flash the Green Lantern ring! Ryan then signed a Green Lantern comic book for him. We dare you to watch and not say “Awwwwwww.” Take a look:

APPEARANCES/EVENTS > 2010 > “Green Lantern” Panel – Comic-Con 2010 – 7/24/10

‘There has to be a little healthy debate about it. That’s important,’ star says of the outcry over his character’s redesigned suit.

During the Warner Bros. panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday (July 24), fans got the first glimpses of footage from “Green Lantern.” But there was one big aspect of the film missing: the title character’s suit. It wasn’t a complete mystery, though, as it had already been as part of the magazine’s Comic-Con sneak preview — and its look has already sparked some unrest among fans.

Ryan Reynolds, who plays the dual role of Hal Jordan and the flick’s title character, spoke with MTV News about the controversy — and he said that he’s glad not everyone is satisfied. “There has to be a little healthy debate about it. That’s important,” he said. “If it were just slanted one way or the other, I don’t think it would be that satisfying.”

The suit was created solely using CGI, and it has lines along it that are supposed to recreate the musculature possessed by Jordan. It does not have the white gloves that were a part of the Green Lantern’s outfit in comics and cartoons.

“Truthfully, we’ve only seen a tiny glimpse of the suit,” Reynolds noted. “We haven’t seen it in motion, and we haven’t seen the full suit as well.”

He also was a fan of ditching the gloves. “The white gloves aren’t there, and I think that’s fine because, specifically, they’re lame,” he said. “But everything else is going to be there. I think the fanboys and the people that are new to the character are going to love it.”
