Worst. Idea. Ever.
Frinklin reports that the planned movie adaptation of the Green Lantern (one I've been eagerly awaiting) is set to be a comedy. A comedy starring Jack Black:
Not only is the planned "Green Lantern" movie featuring the Kyle Raynor Green Lantern character, but the executive in charge of making the Green Lantern movie wants to make it a comedy. The choice for the ring bearer?
Jack Black.
And, naturally, people at DC may wish the comic to resemble the film when it's released...
The Green Lantern was my superhero growing up. My brother and I were allowed to buy one comic book a month- he always picked up X-Men, I always went for the Green Lantern. I even went back and purchased all of the old Action comics which featured the Green Lantern (quite an accomplishment for a 15-year old) in order to complete my collection. When I heard the rumors about a movie I literally jumped for joy. But now, after hearing that the movie is going to be a comedy featuring Jack-fucking-Black, it makes me feel as though someone is raping my childhood.
This must be stopped.
UPDATE: I've gotten a bunch of hits in the last few hours from people searching for "Jack Black" and "Green Lantern", so I'm bumping this post up for those people.
