Movie Pitch: Guy Gardner

I thought I'd do something different today. This morning I was in the shower and I got the idea for the most awesome, action packed movie ever! That's right Guy Gardner. Well,technically it would be a trilogy. The first to movies would focus on Guy becoming a Green Lantern and the last movie of the trilogy would be Justice League International. So, let's get to it. Shall we?
Here's the pitch. The movie opens with Guy charging his power ring and the battery exploding and sending him into a coma. It then flashes back to his childhood in Baltimore and shows his family, his relationship with his parents, his juvenile delinquency and how his brother Mace set him on a better path. It would cut between these flashbacks and scenes at the hospital of Hal talking to him and the doctors. It would then show Guy becoming a football star, going to the University of Michigan and getting his bachelor's degrees in Education and Psychology. Then, the movie cuts to Oa and shows the beginnings of the rift between the Guardians (which will lead directly to the ending of the first film). We then flash to Guy's work as a prison social worker where he meets Hal Jordan. The first film ends with Guy becoming a Special Education teacher and the Guardians splitting into two factions.
The second movie picks up with Guy becoming Hal's backup and him continuing his work as a teacher until he was hit by the bus saving a lttle girl during an earthquake. It then cuts to all the renegade Gaurdians (save for one) being slain by Bolphunga The Unrelenting.It then follows up on the events which lead to Guy's power battery exploding at the opening of the first film. After this the remaining Guardian goes to Earth, wakes Guy from his coma and makes him a Green Lantern. The rest of the movie showing him tracking down, defeating and imprisoning Bolphunga and of course, the third movie would open with him sitting at the meeting table in the headquarters of the Justice League with his feet on the table waiting for the rest of the team to arrive.

And now that I've pitched it. Here's my picks for the cast of the Guy Gardner trilogy.

Guy Gardner - Jake Busey. You can't tell me he wouldn't be perfect for this role.

Roland Gardner - Gary Busey. Come on looking at the lead you can't tell me you didn't see this choice coming with the pick of the lead. Who better to play Guy's abusive alcoholic father than Gary fucking Busey.

Peggy Gardner - Judith Light. Seeing her on Law and Order, I think she has the chops for this role.

Mace Gardner - Sean Willaim Scott. Who better than Stifler to play Guy's older brother.

Hal Jordan - David Boreanaz. He was awesome in the role in New Frontier. So why not?

Bolphunga The Unrelenting - Kurtwood Smith. I don't think there could be a better person to play Bolphunga.

The Guardians - Stanley Tucci,Ben Kingsley, Armin Shimerman,Frank Langella, Clint Howard.

The Renegade Guadians - Fred Thompson,Robert Duvall, J.K. Simmons, R. Lee Ermey. Now those are some badass guardians.

The Last of the Renegade Guardians - Patrick Stewart. He's bold and he has the best voice ever.

Guy's Doctor - Bruce Campbell. I had to fit him in somewhere 'cuz he's just that awesome.

So, there you have it my plot and cast for the ultimate Guy Gardner movie.
