Green Lantern Corps are the galactic police force which keep peace in the universe. When not fighting inter-galactic evil, the Corps take take their orders from the guardians of the galaxy located on the planet Oa.
I would like to see a story on Hal Jordan on simply what he does with the ring when he first finds it, he doesn't simply turn into the green lantern like that after finding this ring, i would like to see the journey to finding what makes him become the green lantern
I agree, especially since Hal is the most widely known of the green lantern corps. Even though most probably don't realize that he isn't *THE* Green Lantern. Well, he is to many, but...nevermind.
And i would cast either Ryan Reynolds or Edward Burns as Hal Jordan
With Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling to play the green lanter, seeing Ridley Scott direct would be neat

A great way to do this film would be to first introduce the idea of a man lost in this world with incredible power from this green ring he found, and he has no idea what to do with it, you introduce that character on Smallville, one of the best origonal depictions of any comic character. The contrast between a young Clark with his powers, trying to keep them under control, and a young Hal trying to find what to do with his powers, would be great chemestry between the characters, and interesting to watch their journey. From there you set the basis of the film, and start the film a few years later as Hal is still searching for his un definable reason, and what ultimatly leads him to become the Green Lantern. It's a great character with a world of potential.
This is from my Yahoo Group Comic Book Castings. It's also based on the GL script treatment that I wrote.
Alan Scott - Dean Butler
The Alan Scott I envision is a guy who thinks he knows everything.
Untill he is thrust into a whole new world. From nievety to realism.
Later on, he becomes the father to a daughter with superpowers. Dean
Butler has played the first half on Little House on the Prarie. The
second half on Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV series as Hank Summers.
The perfect casting to the "1st" GL.
The second movie revolves around the greatest GL ever....
Hal Jordan - Jude Law
Law is among my favorite misunderstood actors. You just can't
possibly know what's up with him. And he has this "Holy now, Worst
later" vibe about him. The right image to go with my Hal, who is a
NASA test pilot. With a chronic alcholic disability.
Last but not least, the "final" Lantern....
Kyle Raner - Kerr Smith
Kyle has always been the baby of the bunch. With both the Corp and
the Justice League. So I went with another "baby". Kerr Smith from
7th Heaven. He's got everything needed for the newbie. Plus the dude
actually wants the role.
Supporting cast members
Jenny Hade/Jade - Jessica Biel
The girlfriend to Kyle and daughter to Alan, Jenny is kick@$$ and
gorgeous. Biel's done gorgeous in Summer Catch and 7th Heaven. And will do kick@$$ in the
upcoming Blade sequal as Abigail Whistler. Daughter to Abraham
Whistler.
Guardians - The smallest actors of the biggest names
The Guardians disperse the rings and batteries to each sector of the
universe. Only one Guardian has a name. Gathant. And there is only
one actor I know of that can pull off the role of the century. Billy
Barty. His acting range began with The Wizard of Oz and most recently
U.H.F. But the one that really helps is Return of the Jedi. Combine
his first and most famous, you get Gathant. Other actors include the
following....
Warwick Davis
Kenny Baker
Verne Troyer
Big Mick
Abin Sur - Denzel Washington
In my story, Sur is one of the two senior members who trains rookies.
Hmm. Sounds alot like Denzel's role in Remember the Titans. He also
has played millitary, police and fed in Crimson Tide, Fallen and The
Bone Collector. A needed for a vetern like Abin Sur.
Sinestro - Jason Issacs
This guy is the other senior officer. And the most psychotic. Issacs
is perfect for the evil side. And the
smart intellect and cunning? He's done that as Quincy Jones. The
smartest man on the planet from Armageddon. All the qualities for the
major villian of movie 2#.
Major Disaster - Bill Goldberg
I've thought long and hard who should be Kyle's nemesis. And Major
Disaster tops the list. Goldberg's been a hard@$$ in the WWE for
years. And has played a dude with a major 'tude in Universal Soldier
2 : The Return.

Green Lantern Script Treatment = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fictionsgroup/message/68
Please take a look at both.
Green Lantern should be developed into a TV show, its such a wide universe that it could be pulled off well, each season a new green lantern, still easy to make it realistic in the sense that smallville was.
I've gotta ask, how is George Clooney winning this poll? He is almost fifty and I thought people thought he was a terrible Batman. And now they're voting for him to play Green Lantern. HOw did that happen?
