Now
since Green Lantern 2011 was a flop at the box office (but I liked it)
it will be inevitable that they will reboot the movie in a few years
just before the Justice League movie comes out. So I have an idea what
this reboot should be...don't do an origin story. As much as I loved Man of Steel
I am getting really sick of origin stories and since it was already
done what you should do is make the movie so that Hal Jordan (No not Jon
Stewart or Kyle Rayner) is already established himself as the Green
Lantern but he's still just beginning so only a few members of the corp
actually like him: Tomar-Re and Kiliwog. Throughout the film, Hal Jordan
is doubting himself as a Lantern and keeps reliving how he became the
Green Lantern via flashbacks, he is worried that since he couldn't save
his father or Abin Sur that he will fail as a Green Lantern. During all
this the Green Lantern named Sinestro has been banished by the
Guardians to the Antimatter Universe, he uses his yellow ring of fear to
escape so that he can take revenge on the Corps. During all this, Hal
Jordan keeps visiting Earth to find an answer to his problems and try to
solved some issues with his family and loved ones. The Guardians sense
that a large amount of yellow energy has been released onto Oa beneath
the surface, the Corp goes to investigate and discover Sinestro wielding
a yellow ring of fear infecting the main battery with yellow energy,
this began to make all the Green Lanterns weaken and some even die.
Tomar-Re quickly took a piece of the central battery that still had
Green Energy within in and sent it to Earth, to Hal Jordan, along with a
message via ring communicator saying that he is the last Green Lantern
with the power of will now and he must stop Sinestro before he corrupts
the Corp. So Hal Jordan must make the choice, give up or fight Sinestro.
After stopping an group of armed terrorists and saving many civilians,
Hal Jordan gets his courage back for he sees the Corps like those
civilians and Sinestro as the terrorist so he flies to Oa where first he
tries to talk Sinestro down with a speech but Sinestro just gives a
cheap shot attack but this doesn't stop Hal Jordan, he accepts his fear
but rises above it to fight Sinestro. After a long battle, Hal Jordan
sends Sinestro back to the Antimatter Universe without the yellow ring,
then restores the central battery to normal turning it back to green
energy thus saving the corp from corruption. The Lanterns then treated
Jordan like a war hero and Hal Jordan smiled feeling proud and learning
that doubt leads to fear.
Casting:
Hal Jordan - David Tennant,
one of my favorite actors, known for Doctor Who or Broadchurch I think
he would be a great Hal Jordan because he is great at action, being
funny and sassy, and dramatic acting.
Sinestro - Joaquin
Phoenix, another one of my favorite actors, known for movies like Signs,
We Own the Night, and Walk the Line, Phoenix proves that he is a great
character actor but we haven't seen him do many action flicks so I think
this is his time to shine in one and as a villain.
Tomar-Re - Cary Elwes, a more underrated actor since I haven't seen him do much but I would love to hear him play Tomar-Re.
Kiliwog - Now the late Michael Clarke Duncan was a great Kiliwog and he
will be missed but if I have to choose a recasting it has to be Vin
Diesel, kind of predictable but I just feel that his voice is perfect
for Kiliwog.
Carol Ferris - Olivia Wilde, in the story I came up with she doesn't have a huge part but he does visit her.
Director & Writer - Joseph Kosinski, for his work with one of my
favorite movies: Oblivion I think his style with aesthetics would be
great for Green Lantern.
Title - Green Lantern: Emerald Crusader
Well thats my pitch for the reboot, tell me your thoughts down below
