    This is a wonderful pitch man.
    I have been working on a 6 film script for a Green Lantern film saga pitch and I have castings, draft scripts and my own ideas for an entire saga following the Emerald Knights. I also foreshadow Blackest Night as a two-part end to this saga *(I have an entire saga pitch written below)*
    I thoroughly believe with real passion and vision Green Lantern could become DC's Star Wars.
    I hope to share my film pitches someday on RUclips as well.
    Film 1: Green Lantern: First Flight: - Hal Jordan's origin, meeting an emotional turmoil Hal Jordan may be cocky but fails to express his emotions after the same circumstances with his mother dying from cancer and Hal feeling emotionally responsible, in addition to coming to terms with his complicated feelings of losing both his father and now the fear and loss he has about losing his mother, but he also needs to accept his emotions and express his fears if he wants to grow. He also has problems with expressing his feelings towards Carol Ferris (his boss), who begins the film as someone who's wise to Hal's cocky macho-man bravado and doesn't fall for it, but when he eventually does share how much he hates himself, and how much he's truly scared about letting others down just like he blames himself for his father and mothers death, that why he goes head first into action to compensate for his own inner hatred and guilt. I also want to ground this story for the first half, and later explore the GLC in the second act with Abin crashing into Earth and Hal taking up the mantle as Green Lantern, where he is also partnered up with Sinestro, explores Oa and meets the Guardians and all kinds of GL members/aliens like Tomar Rae, Ch'p, Boodika, Kilowog who gives him a hard time as a trainee calling him a "Poozer" but soon grows to like Hal for his natural instincts with danger. Sinestro is still in mourning after learning about Abin's death, and though he hides his distaste for Hal as Abin's successor, he soon learns to open himself up to Hal and accept him as a partner while simultaneously teasing his own inner hatred for the Guardians and their hypocrisy/bureaucratic opposition to handling intergalactic threats. The villain in this film would be Krona and The Manhunters, who act as a direct personification of cold emotionless machines that the Guardians first used, and Krona would act in his own quest to get revenge on the Guardians for banishing him, even though my take on Krona was banished only because he wanted to explore what existed outside of the universe, the rest of the Guardians opposed his actions with no legitimate justification, thus allowing Krona to activate a failsafe in the Manhunters to go rogue years ago. After millennia of unjust banishment, Krona returns to get even and reactivates the Manhunters to take out the Corps. Hal and Sinestro together, in a 'Training Day'-Esque premise, act to stop him and Krona acts as a dark reflection of Hal and his natural instincts and distaste of authority, when Krona went against unjust authority he was punished, just as Hal has over the years and Krona tries to persuade him, but Hal learns to overcome his inner hatred and fear of letting overs down as he's learnt throughout the film to embrace his emotions and accept his fears and insecurities, working alongside Sinestro they defeat Krona and The Manhunters, Hal is respected amongst GLC/Oa and amongst Sinestro, Hal comes to terms with his insecurities and learns to make peace with the loss of his parents and discovers a new purpose in life, while opening himself up to Carol (teasing their eventual romance). Furthermore, we would reveal at the end that the Guardians secretly knew about the Manhunters yet do not share their connections with any GL, and it is only when Krona tells Sinestro about how the Manhunters were created by the Guardians and killed millions, especially Sector 666, only then does Sinestro feel betrayed by his Corps and beliefs thus forcing Sinestro to make it seem that Krona committed suicide when really he killed himself with a ring and began devising a plan to end the injustice teasing his downfall. Post credit scene also teases John Stewart and Atrocitus.
    Film 2: Green Lantern: Rage of the Red Lanterns - introduce Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns as new Lantern factions, acting rebellious vigilantes against the Guardians as Atrocitus much like the comic is burdened by the loss of his family and people under the Manhunters and blames the Guardians, as he learnt that they were responsible from the time he was with the Five Inversions (hypothetically explored in a Green Lantern anthology show). Atrocitus forms the Red Lanterns to kill members of the GLC to get closer to Oa. Hal and Sinestro are introduced to new Lanterns John Stewart and Guy Gardener, and with Kilowog and Tomar's help they separate into teams to stop the Red Lanterns. Hal also learns to accept new allies and has to deal with Carol Ferris being taken over by the Star Sapphires/Zamarons who left the Guardians to create the Star Sapphire Corps of love. Essentially revolving around a theme of accepting love and not hatred. We also have Sinestro reveal the lies the Guardians have been hiding about the Manhunters and Ganthet takes full responsibility as he and another Guardian Sayd admit to their actions, feeling nothing but guilt and shame. The Guardians are forced to banish Ganthet as well after he opens up about the truth and they discover his experiments to use the blue light of 'hope' as a power source. Luckily Sayd gives Ganthed the means to activate the blue light initiative to depower all Red Lanterns. Sinestro at the end of the film betrays Hal and reveals how he has been using the Weaponers of Qward to create his own Lantern ring and use prisoners from Oa's science cells to mass an entire army of prisoners to go against the GLC after the years of lies and hypocrisy that Guardians have hidden, which is further personified by Atrocitus and his pure rage filled hatred as he wishes to die in peace knowing he's gotten his revenge for his family and people. Hal is utterly mortified by Sinestro's betrayal and doesn't want to fight his friend despite Sinestro also not wanting to fight Hal he knows that he must do this to truly allow his perception of true peace to prosper in the universe as it will be governed by fear since the will is not enough to keep people like Atrocitus at bay, especially if they can create their own power rings. Sinestro is forced to subdue and badly injure Hal, while also revealing Boodika switched sides after Sinestro revealed the truth to her, releasing all the prisoners to become Yellow Lanterns. Hal is speechless at his friend's betrayal and badly injured. Then the film cuts to black.
    Also, tease Saint Walker
    Film 3: Green Lantern: Fear - adapting Sinestro Corps War
    Film 4: Green Lantern: Agent Orange
    Film 5: Green Lantern: Blackest Night Part 1 - I plan to have my take on Willian Hand introduced in Film 5, but also teased in Film 1, in Film 5 he would actually be friends with Kyle Rayner, be college roommates, and show how much Kyle cares for William as a friend. My take on William Hand would be in his early/mid 20's and be a mentally struggling/suicidally depressed person as he has struggled with hearing voices of the dead his entire life, and has been thought of as mentally ill by his family, acting as the black sheep of the Hand family, isolated by his brothers and emotionally disregarded by his parents, who have treated him with cold, controlling discontent as they see him as a failure, leaving William to be emotionally alone his whole life until Kyle treats him like a real person, giving William compassion. In Film 5 I would begin the Blackest Night by having it centred around all the Earth GLs (Hal, John, Guy and Kyle) attempting to save William Hand from Sinestro and Atrocitus from working together to try and kill William to prevent the Blackest Night as he is destined to unleash Nekron. Not only that but The Guardians would also order Green Lanterns from all sectors to hunt down William Hand as they too are terrified by the Blackest Night (The Guardians as hypocrites to their code) thus creating massive tension and conflict throughout the Corps. It all being a race to save this one guy to prevent the Blackest Night, and it also tackles concepts and questions that even Hal and John struggle with, is one life worth saving when the universe is at stake, is killing William really the right option, especially if has suicidal tendencies?

    My only critiques are that John shouldn’t get shot. I’m in the military and they will stop you from taking most positions if you have any preexisting injures that they deem severe and a gunshot wound would count. Also he wouldn’t get a dishonorable for what he did in the village, he’d most likely get a general discharge or a medical one for his preexisting gunshot wound. Just a few small things, but I like everything else.

    Alden Ehrenreich as Hal Jordan(cause he's Jewish and Hal is Jewish, plus he was severely underrated in Solo)
    Trevante Rhodes as John Stewart
    Diego Luna as Kyle Rayner
    Aaron Paul as Guy Gardner
    Cary Elwes as Alan Scott
    Firass Dirani as Simon Baz
    Gina Rodriguez as Jessica Cruz
