GREEN ARROW Pilot A Go At CW; Title Shortened To "ARROW"

After last week's report that the show landed at the network, the CW has officially ordered a pilot for the Green Arrow series, now known simply as Arrow.. Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy - 1/18/2012

THR report that the CW are moving forward with the new Green Arrow Tv show. Not many details were known about the show except that it would definitely not be a Smallville spin off (no Justin Hartely) and that Green Lantern duo Marc Guggenheim and Greg Berlanti would produce. New info reveals that the story with be a "modern retelling" (take from that what you will) and that the pilot at least appears to have a director..

Arrow, based on DC Comics' long-running Green Arrow, revolves around the hooded super hero, a wealthy playboy by day who secretly saves the city by night using his enhanced arrows.

The hourlong drama is a modern retelling of the legendary comics character and hails from Green Lantern duo Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim.

Apparently David Nutter is "expected" to direct. The CW also ordered a pilot for the rebooted Beauty And The Beast - which will be loosely based on the 1980s CBS series starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Pearlman.

ARROW: Expect An Edgier Take & A "Jason Bourne" Type Oliver Queen
CW head Thom Sherman let's us know what to expect from their upcoming take on Green Arrow. He says to expect a much less "comic book-y" character than the one we met in Smallville ..Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy - 2/8/2012

We knew to expect a different take from the Green Arrow comics when the new CW show was announced, but apparently it will be significantly different from Smallville's version of The Emerald Archer too. CW’s development head Thom Sherman tells EW..

"It’s a very provocative and sophisticated and edgy. It’s not as comic book-y as Smallville or other [superhero projects] from other networks.”

“He doesn’t have any superpowers, he’s a very grounded character like a Jason Bourne — we use the term ‘mambo'. His skill-set is that he’s an archer, but he also has physical strength and prowess. He’s clever and able to devise ways of taking down a bad guy that are unique and fun to watch.”

CW's ARROW To Shoot At Hatley Castle

The Times Colonist is reporting that The CW's new superhero television show Arrow will be shooting on the campus of Roaly Roads University. More specifically the shoot will be at historical Hatley Castle. The Castle is no stranger to the big and small screen either, it was used for the exterior shoots of Luthor mansion in Smallville as well as doubled as Professor X's School for Gifted Youngsters in the X-Men series. Cameras will roll starting later this month and will use the Vancouver Island location for around two days. The castle is being used as a home base for Oliver Queen, who will be played by Stephen Amell.

ARROW Will Not Be Picked Up For A Full Series

Joining the failed Wonder Woman and Aquaman pilots that have come and go over the years, the CW's Arrow has failed to be picked up for a full series by the network. Filming was well underway on the pilot, but execs were worried about it, due to major script issues. Read the details below:

It was recently announced that the CW would be bringing the beloved comic book character, Green Arrow, to the small screen in the form of Arrow. Well, now those ideas have been crushed. Production on the pilot has been halted halfway through filming, as network execs believed that the show would be a critical and ratings failure and there were major issues with the acting and script.

A shame.

They need to do a Justice League movie.

The network execs probably realized they don't have much else to put on the air.

The CW Has Officially Picked up Arrow, The Green Arrow TV Series!

Too bad they didn't keep Justin Hartley from Green Arrow in Smallville to do this one too.

Agree with DOMS on Justice League but DC can't even get their movies together except for Batman and that took them how many times to get right..........

Now we get another go around with Superman that still looks dumb. I hope it surprises me but I'm not holding my breath.

I recall they justified not hiring Hartley by wanting a darker edge to the new show. Even though he was one of the darker parts of Smallville.

I realize why an opening for Arrow opened up:

Right, beloved. They chopped the character's name. Why not do Superman but just call him Man? Fail. And also to scrub the actor who had been involved in Smallville? Why do they have to reinvent the wheel every time?
