10 Great Acting Careers Accidentally Ruined By Legendary Directors

2. Blake Lively - Green Lantern

still-of-ryan-reynolds-and-blake-lively-in-green-lantern-1364308002-gp The culprit? Martin Campbell, the guy who introduced us all to both Pierce Brosnan's and Daniel Craig's iterations of James Bond in GoldenEye and Casino Royale, respectively. I like Blake (we're EXACTLY the same age, how crazy is that?!), but since trying the jump from TV to silver screen she just hasn't caught the right projects (Savages I'll make an exception for, though). And how Campbell allowed himself to be leashed by Geoff Johns I'll never know. This could've been the Star Wars of comic book movies like he SAID it would've been, but sadly it was more like the Babylon 5 of comic book movies. So sad, so sad. I heard Lively is actually a very good actress, and she apparently did very well in Brian de Palma's Savages. I would like to see her get more work in the future, as she has the lasting kind of looks and ethic that could provide for a long and healthy career. That being said, she's still ludicrously hot, so that's something.
