Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:44:20 +0000 http://www.elegantmess.net/snap/?p=414#comment-291212 I think Green Lantern would be pretty neat as a movie with an ensemble cast. You could get a typical Hollywood group of leads together and have them all discover rings and bill them as a team. And each one of them could be better at some aspect of ring use, I suppose to offer differentiation. If you played kind of fast and loose with the idea of a Green Lantern Corps and really played up the Corps idea, it'd probably work. The Lanterns more or less fall into typical archetypes in ensemble movies anyway. You've got brash, cocky Guy Gardner; young, inexperienced Kyle Rayner; gruff, experienced main guy Hal Jordan; and I'm pretty much only familiar with JLU John Stewart which I gather is a fairly cursory characterization that ignores a lot of the character's depth so I dunno I guess he could be the smart guy and the wingman. I suppose you could make Guy Gardner a woman and cast Keira Knightley and not use Guy as such a jerkwad as he is in the comics.

He invited me over to his hotel room to watch an episode of Voyager a couple hours before his wedding ceremony. That's how we roll.
