Blake Lively got the female lead in the "Green Lantern"

Gossip girl beauty Blake Lively has secured the the female lead role in the live-action DC hero "Green Lantern" opposite Ryan Reynolds.

Lively will play Carol Ferris (daughter of aerospace mogul Carl Ferris) and the love interest of Hal Jordan (Green Lantern). An alien race crowned her the power of a crystal called the Star Sapphire.

According to Hollywood Reporter, the search for the leading lady was almost as intense as the one for its title star. Keri Russell and Jennifer Garner were reportedly among those in the mix for the role.

Martin Campbell will direct. Production is expected to begin in March with a release date set for June 17, 2011.
