OK, so let me see if I have this right: Jack Black wrote/commissioned a really silly screenplay based on the "Green Lantern" DC character, only to have the fans flip out and cause an uproar so loud that Jack decided to trash the project forever. Well, if it’s true, it’s a pretty good story.
From Cinematical / IESB.net: "For reasons which truly baffle my feeble little mind, Black has persisted in his interest to put together a ridiculous, farcical Green Lantern movie. Thankfully, when early news of such a script got out, the fans rose up and with one voice proclaimed "get your hands off of the Green Lantern, Jack." And they proclaimed it loud enough that Black got the message."
