The Green Lantern starring Jack Black

With the Martin Campbell directed Green Lantern releasing nation wide this week, I couldn’t help but remember the comedic version set up at Warner Brothers a few years back.

 Written by Robert Smigel of SNL, the 132 page draft consisted of Jud Plato, a box furniture store employee, stumbling upon the ring and becoming a Guardian of the Galaxy. 

 Sadly, despite Robert’s best effort to blend comedy and action the story never becomes much of anything other than a horrible character ruining any would be entertaining action sequences.

 Whether you’re a fan of Jack Black or not you best be thanking your lucky stars that he was smart enough to not go through with the project.

 To all you Green Lantern fans and cinema geeks who are hesitant about Campbell’s film, I urge you to read Smigel’s Draft because after it there is no where else to go but up.
