The Official Marc Guggenheim & Script Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[Changeling]

Whoa! Very cool!

 

[protocida]

Interesting. That shows how much the Script has changed.

Maybe they replaced Legion with a rogue Green Lantern?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Eeeeuchhh! That'd be awful. It'd take all the steam out of Sinestro's arc.

 

[protocida]

Not quite. Sinestro has his own agenda, his own reasons and his own ways to make his masterplan come together. If it's a rogue Green Lantern, it'd be all about power, I guess.

 

[louiebling$]

Hmm... I'm not so sure about them making up a New Lantern.

 

[Webhead2006]

Cool interview i wonder whats up with that new lantern.

 

[Octoberist]

interesting because in the first draft, I can't recall any made up Lanterns that were important to the story... (Besides background characters)

 

[protocida]

Not even background characters.

 

[Webhead2006]

YEa well since we know its gone through alot of rewrites who knows how much the story has changed and who is or isnt a major player in the script.

I don't see why there shouldn't be a new GL in the film. If it works to the movie's advantage in terms of development (i.e. getting to principal photography) and overall quality, I have no problems with that.

The thing I gather from the article is that the director and producers have a leading man in mind and are trying to see how compatible his schedule is with the production date. It seems they're very close to nailing down the shooting script and the leading man, so it's only a matter of time.

If thats what it is, then imo its really strongly suggesting Cooper

Didn't Guggenheim say he had a purpose in the film? It sounds to me that the new character is being used as a plot device. For all we know that character may be the very first green lantern (Rory Dagg). I don't know (I didn't read the script).

 

[Webhead2006]

Hopefully they do have their hal and are just waiting to have all the I's dotted and T's crossed.

Speaking of movies, Guggenheim knows that no matter how many shows, video games, comic books or other movies he does, the topic of the "Green Lantern" movie he co-wrote with Greg Berlanti and Michael Green is the topic most likely to come up. Yet, it also is the topic he is most hesitant to talk about.

"'Green Lantern' continues to move forward," he said. "But I can't say any more about it. I've signed a blood oath of secrecy."

Guggenheim said he is aware fans are concerned that the lead role has yet to be cast, but he said they have nothing to worry about.

"I understand where the fans are coming from," he said. "I understand that people are passionate, but everything will work out."

Guggenheim said he doesn't go on Internet message boards to see what people are writing about "Green Lantern," but he does get an e-mail notice when new stories are written about the movie.

"I haven't gone on the boards, but I do have a Google alert," he said. "So if something gets written (about "Green Lantern") and Google captures it, I see it."

And through reading the stories, Guggenheim said he has noticed a common thread.

"I can say don't believe all the rumors," he said. "In fact, I haven't read a single thing that is accurate."

However, Guggenheim also tried to downplay his role in the process by saying he is "just the writer."

"In fact," he said. "I have the Google alert so I can find out who is cast along with all of you."

Well thats cool of what he said. Hopefully we will get our answer soon.

Simply awesome, Green Lantern is the movie that I have waiting the most with the Avengers, I'm a cosmic comics fan and I'm glad to see one of them to have his own movie, Green Lantern is of course one of the best choice.

But with Geoff Johns (if I understand clearly, he will have part in the movie), it's simply amazing, some people know when the movie begin to shoot ?

 

[Rain]

Is the Clark Kent cameo in this draft ?

 

[Octoberist]

yes

 

[The Showstopper]

could someone possibly pm me a link?

 

[Octoberist]

can't. you can get banned.

 

[Kokomo29]

Are we allowed to ask questions about what's in the script?

 

[Webhead2006]

i believe that is ok?

 

[Kokomo29]

Does the script describe what the suit looks like at all? Does it describe the mask?

 

[Webhead2006]

well you got to remember that script was first draft of the film and it has gone through atless 5-6 rewrites i believe. Plus we dont know if the costume designers are going straight to what is said in script or off their own designs. but as for the suit i myself dont know. i didnt get to far into the script.

 

[Kokomo29]

I am really hoping for something "alien" and not too spandex-ish. The Green Lanterns are after all, aliens.
