Green Lantern - Deleted Scenes

[A Necessary Evil]

So, I can't think of a ton off the top of my head...but one is

During the scene in which Tom makes hal show him the suit, he asks, "what happens now?" to which hal responds "...we go looking for trouble."


Anyone know of others? I enjoyed the movie a ton but I hope it gets an extended cut, and I'm just curious as to what was cut out.

[RoughNTumble]

'we are the corps'!

[dark_b]

is ''we are teh corps'' deleted as footage or only their voices?

[A Necessary Evil]

Not too sure.

I know that the "no matter how bad things get..." line was cut too.

Well the suit looked strange in the first trailer in that scene, I heard it was only test fx footage...don´t ask why they have included that in the trailer.

Nick Jones is missing!!!

John Stewart cameo wasn't in there. Which is weird, because they had interviews with the guy just a week or two ago.

Was the Central City billboard anywhere to be seen? Geoff John's said it was in there.

[SuperDaniel]

John Stewart cameo was cut, according to Nick Jones.

Just thought of another scene I don't recall.

The one in the first trailer towards the end of it, where theirs a kid on the ground behind him and he looks up and is about to make a construct from his ring.

Edit- Did that scene happen? Maybe when he made that hot wheels race track it did, I'm not sure. It's a little fuzzy to me.

[Rowsdower!]

I'm guessing there was at least one or two scenes with Hector that were cut that better establish how he knows Hal and Carol. Maybe not though, I don't know.

There was behind the scene footage of Hector teaching a class and launching a student from his chair. I feel like a lot of stuff with hector may have been cut. Also in regards to Hal's family, I wonder if they filmed more of that.

That was in the movie.

Have you seen how roughly the film is edited? I bet there are as much deleted footage as the Incredible Hulk.

Yeah, that was probably my biggest complaint even though I loved the movie. The editing seemed pretty choppy.

[Rowsdower!]

The only parts that really felt choppy to me were when they were going back and forth between Hal on Oa and Hector's storyline. That just felt abrupt. But I thought it evened out after that.

[EliteF50]

The scene where the choppy editing was most noticeable for me was during Hector's transformation/Hal trying to recite the Oath.

'Rough' editing isn't always a sign of a lot of stuff being taken out. It's mostly because of stuff that just isn't there to use, or....more often...use WELL. We're talking about a very accomplished editor here in Baird...guys like him, Murch, Lovejoy, Shoonmaker...they really don't deliver bad editing unless their handcuffed by the material or lack thereof. Or...if there is stuff cut out..it's so ponderous that even going with something slightly choppy is better than having to painfully endure the extra fat...better by being 'less worse', if you will.

If a movie of this level, with these editors/cinematographers feels like it's badly edited, then there's got to be something really wrong with the film as a whole. Usually the writing, the lack of usable coverage with any cohesiveness, and scenes that are written/shot as isolated events with no sense of forward movement beyond themselves. And no editing in the world can actually fix something on that scale to make it actually good. It's more times than not the editing that actually makes it even barely watchable.

It's too bad that the editing is taking some flack, because I'll be willing to bet that it was the editing that saved it from being even more nonsensical than it was. If not, then Campbell and Baird must have really lost it, or been forced at some point not to care anymore.

That's exactly what I was thinking as I watched it.

[Donut]

I do not remember hearing the lines in my showing

"If you die. Innocent lives will be lost & whole worlds annihilated"

I hope when they release this they release it as an extended cut

Not always a good thing. An extended cut may very well show just how ponderous and extraneous the cut material was.


Restaurant Patron 1: God...this food is horrible.

Restaurant Patron 2: Yeah...and such small portions!

They could do a DVD/Blu Ray with both the Theatrical and Extended cuts on

They probably will just to boost sales. But extended cuts are far from a guarantee that it'll make the actual movie better.

Also, we're talking about a movie that's what, 100 minutes? It's not like it's over two hours the way it is, so it doesn't seem that it has running-time issues. From the sounds of it, GL feels like a disjointed mess as it is...so they must have made the cuts to at least move things along with some momentum...from something that was disjointed AND slow.

That's not to say that they also couldn't have cut things because someone higher up said "Cut this and that...because I said so." But at the same time...extended/added scenes won't help the apparent bad writing and characterization, forced love story and internal exposition, and other problems that viewers seem to be having with what's there. Just like none of the cut scenes from Superman Returns...including the 'Return to Krypton' stuff...would have added anything to it except more running time.

Although I am sure there is footage of hal's family cut out.

Agreed.
