* There were a few attempts to bring the Green Lantern to the silver screen before this one, the most infamous one being the script written by Robert Smigel in 2004 that would've reinterpreted the premise as a raunchy adult comedy. Very loosely based on the ''Emerald Dawn'' storylines, it would've starred Creator/JackBlack as a loser furniture store employee named Jud Plato who was selected to become the next Green Lantern on the basis that he "fearlessly" [[{{squick}} ate severed animals heads]] for a TV reality show. Reportedly, negative fan reception to this treatment after details of it leaked onto the internet caused Warner Bros. to can the project very quickly. Creator/KevinSmith was also approached to write and direct a Green Lantern film, but turned down the offer.
