What Green Lantern Should’ve Been – Early Script Deep Dive

So, the script opens in present day.

We do have a voiceover talking about the Green Lanterns protecting the universe, but unlike the movie, it is not Tomare.

I know I had to point out to Brady, I'm like, I think it's Tomare who's narrating the beginning, because they had to give him... ...last night, and it's like, who's talking...

In the movie.

It's not Tomoe Ray in the script.

In the script, it is a graying government man known as Pipe because he smokes from a pipe.

Heavy quotation

marks around that one.

But this is not some sort of narration thing.

It's over Times Square where people are kind of gathered for this big press conference and he's talking about how we're not alone.

One of our own has joined the core who protects the universe.

One of our own has joined and become a Green Lantern.

It's Alfie.

The Ring searched the entire planet for someone worthy.

but yeah the screen cuts to black and then the title card snaps us to 15 years ago where we get the flashback to hal and his father now if you watch the regular theatrical cut we barely get to see much glimpses i believe you only get to see the flash little glimpses here and there of his father getting killed in the accident but the extended cut version i think

yeah i watched the extended cut last night yeah the extended cut version is it better

Not much.

Marginally in the sense that you get to see the full flashback sequence of what happened to his dad as well as just a little bit more of the family in present day.

It's the same fucking movie.

And the rest of it is the same.

The rest of it is the same.

It's still

bad.

I realize what it probably is.

What my issue might be with this...
