Executive Producer: An executive producer (EP) enables and backs up the making of a commercial entertainment product. He or she is concerned with management accounting and possibly with associated legal issues (like copyrights or royalties). An EP also contributes to the film's budget, and does not work on set.

Charles Roven [Notable Works: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman]: Charles is another dominant force in the fate of the DC Movie Universe. And he's really kept his faith in the genre and is really as good for Green Arrow as a producer.

Zack & Deborah Snyder [Notable Works {As a Producer Teams}: Sucker Punch, 300: Rise of An Empire, Batman vs Superman {Deb only Producing}]: They're a real life team. Together they make movies and both have seen the rise of the DC Movie Universe and together anything they back is going to happen. They are no doubt a group who could help Green Arrow Strike on Silver Screen.

Wesley Coller [Notable Works: 300, Watchmen, Man Of Steel]: Friend and Co-Collaborater along Zack Snyder, Co-Producer of Cruel and Unusual Films, he would no doubt be part of the team DC, Goyer, and Snyder. This would be an appropriate project for him to more or less field as a product he brings to the Screen rather than backing his friends.


Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.

David Goyer [Notable Works {As A Producer}: FlashForward {T.V. Series}, Da Vinci's Demons {T.V. Series}, Threshold {T.V. Series}]: He's one of the forces that genially tried to get Green Arrow on the Silver Screen. He's got talent although it seems to turn on and off at times, I think with Green Arrow it would stay on 24/7 throughout production.

Francis Lawrence [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Kings {T.V. Series}, Touch {T.V. Series}]: He's not a stranger to the world of a Producer and he's an immensly talented individual. He would no doubt be the right Person to help Oliver get into the theatrical market.

Akiva Goldsman [Notable Works{As A Producer}: I Am Legend, Hancock, The Losers]: Akiva is responsible for having put the "Batman Superman" nod in I Am Legend. He's an obvious comic book fan and has backed quite a bit of the lower end DC Films and i think it would be great to give him a chance to get Green Arrow on the Silver Screen. He would no doubt be an asset in getting Ollie on Screen.


Production Designer: a production designer or P.D is the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event such as films, TV programs, video games, music videos or adverts. Production designers have one of the key creative roles in the creation of motion pictures and television. Working directly with the director and producer, they must select the settings and style to visually tell the story.

Guy Hendrix Dyas [Notable Works: X2, Superman Returns, Inception]: His landscaping art with Magento's Plastic Cell, the Final Stage of Dreams in Inception show that he could design the wonderfully horrifying Super Max. His work turning Australia into a moder day Metropolis was amazing. He would done wonderful with a job on Star City and setting the stylistic tone.


Costume Designer: A costume designer is a person who designs costumes for a film or stage production. The role of the costume designer is to create the characters and balance the scenes with texture and color, etc.The costume designer works alongside the director, scenic, lighting designer, sound designer, and other creative personnel. The costume designer may also collaborate with hair stylist, wig master, or makeup artist. In European theatre, the role is different, as the theatre designer usually designs both costume and scenic elements.

Janty Yates [Notable Works: Gladiator, Robin Hood, Prometheus]: She does such a wonderful job with Character costumes, distinctions, and tone. Her work in Prometheus shows she could do a wonderful job with ultra-modern aesthetic as well as distinct character looks. Her works with Robin Hood really gets the grab on what Green Arrow would look like.


Director of Photography: A cinematographer (usually credited with the title director of photography, or DP) is the chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film and responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this field is referred to as cinematography.

Peter Menzies Jr [Notable Works: Clash of the Titans {2010}, Incredible Hulk, Shooter]: I enjoyed his work, he's a smart D.P. And really captures the conflict of it's setting, it's characters, and it's tone. He could really do a wonderful job at setting the distinct lensed tone of the Film.


Film Editor: Film editing is part of the creative post-production process of filmmaking. The term film editing is derived from the traditional process of working with film, but now it increasingly involves the use of digital technology.

Lee Smith [Notable Works: The Prestige, X-Men First Class, The Dark Knight]: I find his work on X-Men First Class highly stylized and very comic booky. He's got the talent to really give Super Max and the Green Arrow's film franchise a dynamic series.


Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.

Marc Streitenfeld [Notable Works: Robin Hood, The Grey, Prometheus]: His Music with Robin Hood really worked well, It had some fun to it and had an epic sound to it. A wonderful Composer who could get the character down pat.


Screenplay: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

Justin Marks [Notable Works: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, Rewind, Green Arrow: Escape From Super Max]: & James Vanderbilt [Notable Works: The Rundown, Basic, White House Down]: Justin's work in the Script for Super Max is by far his best written product. He wrote a wonderful character piece that could honestly be considered the DC Equivalent of Iron Man 3, that considered getting an accomplished writer like James Vanderbilt to fill out the other films in the series would allow for a fantastic Green Arrow Film Series.


Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry out the vision, deciding how the film should look, in other words they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring the cast and key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking and also may be involved in the writing, financing and editing of a film.

Francis Lawrence [Notable Works {As A Director}: I Am Legend, Constantine, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire]: I chose him, due to his work on character Pieces, on thing Supermax really explored. I chose him, over Oliver Stone, due to his work and political stance. But Francis felt much like the better choice.


Oliver Queen/Green Arrow [Height: 6’2”, Age: 30’s]: Green Arrow is a vigilante superhero who fights crime using archery, technology and martial arts. In his secret identity he is liberal politician and billionaire Oliver Queen, a hot-headed social activist and owner of Queen Industries. Black Canary is his long-time love interest and Speedy is his side-kick. The extended family of heroes to work with him calls themselves Team Arrow. Oliver was killed in an explosion at one point and remained dead for many years until he was resurrected during the Quiver storyline. He has been a member of the Justice League and the Outsiders.

Joel Kinnaman [Height: 6' 2½", Age: 34, Notable Works: The Killing, Safe House, Robocop {Coming 2013}]: In the killing he does a fantastic job as Stephen Holder. This is a choice I really went for once I heard he was playing Alex Murphy. The guy is a great actor and I think he could really pull of the role as Green Arrow pretty damn well. He's got a fun attitude and he's really got the sensibility that really makes him the right choice for Oliver.


Dinah Lance/Black Canary [Height: 5' 7", Age: 30's]: Dinah Laurel Lance was born into a family of crime fighters. Her father Larry Lance, was a police officer, while her mother (also named Dinah) was the original Black Canary. The younger Dinah chose to become a crime-fighter at the age of nineteen, despite her mother’s wishes to the contrary. Following a rigorous training program under the watchful eye of a former colleague and life-long friend of the original Black Canary, Ted Grant, also known as Wildcat, Dinah took up her mother’s identity and adopted her costume as her own.

Stana Katic [Height: 5' 9", Age: 35, Notable Works: Castle, Quantum of Solace, Feast of Love]: I love Stana, she is a wonderful and intriguing actress. It felt like something out of the box to cast her as Black Canary. She's got the look and the attitude for the character, and a bit of bleach would help her adopt the character's hair. No doubt she would own the role in so many ways.


Adrien Rivers [Height: 5' 7" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: Oliver Queen's Executive assistance.

Olivia Munn [Height: 5' 4", Age: 33, Notable Works: Iron Man 2, Magic Mike, Freeloaders]: Yeah I kinda got any shitty comments at me coming with this one. Not that she's a terrible actress, just not a great one. And I figured this role would be an alright fit for her maybe really help her get some talent together and really help her gain range.


Cissie King-Jones/Arrowette [Height: 5' 7", Age: Teens-20's]: Arrowette is one of the few superheroes to retire and have it stick. After serving valiantly alongside Young Justice, she now lives the life of a normal girl... who happens to be an Olympic gold medalist.

Emma Watson [Height: 5' 5", Age: 23, Notable Works: Harry Potter {Franchise}, Perks of Being a Wild Flower, Noah]: A great young actress, who is in danger of really being forgotten. I think this is a role that could keep her in the lime light. She fits the role well and is really needing this kind of character tragedy.


Mia Dearden/Speedy [Height: 5' 4", Age: Teens]: Mia Dearden is a bow-wielding vigilante who becomes the second Speedy, acting as side-kick to Green Arrow. He rescued her from a child prostitution ring and took her in as his ward, training her in archery. Having worked in the sex industry for an abusive pimp she is HIV-positive.

Hailee Steinfeld [Height: 5' 7", Age: 17, Notable Works: True Grit, Ender's Game, 3 Days To Kill]: A First time Oscar Nominee at age 13, it's not wonder Steinfeld has become a wanted actress. She delivers one of the best performances in every film she's in. She's played tough, no bull-taking character before, and so with a lot of room to breath with Mia she can create a thorough character that stays true to the character's origin.


Ted Grant/WildCat [Height: 6' 0", Age: 60's]: Despite having no powers, he uses his abilities as a world-class champion boxer to fight crime and also has a modified indian stunt motorcycle. He has been a member of the Justice Society of America, Suicide Squad and All-Star Squadron.

Stephen Lang [Height: 5' 10", Age: 61, Notable Works: Terra Nova, Avatar, Conan the Barbarian {2011}]: An actor who is cast almost exclusively as either Deathstroke or Cable. I knew if I cast him, I would only do it if I could give him an original role that he genially fit. He's a great actor and could do a slew of different wonderful roles. This is a role that is a bit more heroic.


Det. Andrew Lopez [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 30's-40's]: Andrew Lopez is a detective in the Star City police force who has developed a good working relationship with the Green Arrow.

Diego Luna [Height: 5' 10", Age: 34, Notable Works: Elysium, Milk, Contraband]: I find Diego as an extremely well talented actor. I think he would be by far perfect for the role. He's got some style to his performances that really give him the edge to play Lopez.


Lt. Lucas Hilton [Height: 6' 0", Age: 40's-50's]: Lucas Hilton is a police officer in Star City, nicknamed Lt. Hilt by his subordinates. He's an ally to Green Arrow and Black Canary during their team-up period after their marriage.

Denzel Washington [Height: 6' 1", Age: 59, Notable Works: Training Day, Flight, 2 Guns]: Denzel is probably on everybody's list of Actors who need a major comic book role. He's a fine actor and has done extremely well with his performances across the board. No doubt he's perfectly talented to play Luke Hilton.


Lt. James Cameron [Height: 5' 10" {Estimated}, Age: 40's-50's]: A Police Lt. Who appears in the Super Max Script, in the comics he has a long history of helping Green Arrow.

Sean Patrick Flanery [Height: 5' 11", Age: 48, Notable Works: Dexter {Season 8}, Boondock Saints, Boondock Saints 2: All Saint's Day]: Sean as an actor is wonderful, When looking into the character I really couldn't see anyone else in the role, He's a good actor and would do a supremely great job as Cameron.


Evan Gibson [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: Evan Gibson is a reporter for Star City's newspaper the Star Gazette.

Devon Sawa [Height: 6' 0", Age: 35, Notable Works: Nikita {TV. Series}, Casper, Final Destination]: Devon is a decent actor, not very often cast. He can hold his own and does it well especially as a supporting cast member. He fits the bill of Evan Gibson and would definitely do a great job.


Roy Harper/Red Arrow [Height: 5' 11", Age: 20's]: Roy Harper is a superhero who gone by the names Speedy, Arsenal and Red Arrow. He is a highly trained weapons expert and martial artist, specializing in archery. Roy grew up a Navajo reservation where he learned to shoot, after his father died in an accident. Originally he was the sidekick of Green Arrow, but quit over personal issues, and had a long struggle against a heroin addiction. Later on he would become a government agent for many years, although as an adult he would return to being a superhero.

Emile Hirsch [Height: 5' 7", Age: 28, Notable Works: Speed Racer, Into the Wild, Milk]: He's a good actor who was destined to hit it big and never did. He would have done a lot of memorable roles had Speed Racer Succeeded. And he would do an amazing job as Roy. Roy is a character that eventually became an Anti-Hero and a pain in Green Arrow's ass after feeling betrayed by him. He would do an amazing as Roy bringing some much pent-up aggression that has become a character trademark.


Amanda Waller [Height: 5' 1", Age: 40's-50's]: Amanda "The Wall" Waller is a hard-line top-ranking U.S. Government agent involved in clandestine operations. Despite her non-threatening physical appearance, she is almost universally feared as one of the most ruthless women in espionage and politics. In Super Max she is the Warden of the Government Super Prison, who is seen as an antagonist force against Ollie.

Vivica A. Fox [Height: 5' 7", Age: 49, Notable Works: Kill Bill Vol. 1, Independence Day, Set it Off.]: She seems to have become my go too actress for tough roles to play. She is an amazing actress, and she would do a fantastic job as the government monster known as Amanda Waller.


Will Hackett [Height: 5' 10" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: Hackett is a former pilot for the Royal Air Force, Hackett eventually came into the employ of a heroin manufacturer named China White. China conducted her business from an island volcano in Fiji, and communicated her orders to Hackett from there. Over a decade ago, Hackett insinuated his way into the lifestyle of millionaire playboy Oliver Queen. He convinced Queen to invest in several illegal offshore accounts, though Queen was unaware that the money was being used for drug trafficking. In the Super Max script, Hackett was a lawyer and child hoo best friend of Oliver. He pushed Oliver over the ship out of jealousy and turned him over to and framed him for murder, payed by Marcus Cross, due to Oliver never sharing the Wealth with him.

Oscar Isaac [Height: 5' 8 1/2", Age: 33/34, Notable Works: Sucker Punch, Drive, Robin Hood]: It was his performance in Robin Hood that convinced me 100% he could play Mark's version of Will Hackett. He's a Wonderful actor and would no doubt play this role with absolute perfection.


Marcus Cross [Height: 5' 9" {Estimated}, Age: 60's]: A vicious C.E.O. Attempting to gain Control of Queen Industries. Making Hackett and offer he can't refuse to betray and frame his best friend.

Harvey Keitel [Height: 5' 7", Age: 74, Notable Works: Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Taxi Driver]: Keitel was the guy I was seeing when I imagined Cross, He was the Actor who had the right voice and poise for the character and No doubt could do a fantastic job.


Shock Trauma [Height: 5' 6", Age: 20's-30's]: Japanese Member of the Hangmen who appears as a supporting Character in the Super Max Script.

Steven Yeun [Height: 5' 9", Age: 30, Notable Works: The Walking Dead, My Name is Jerry, Avatar: The Legend of Korra]: The character appears in the script, as {for lack of a better term} comic relief and that's become Steven's niche on Walking Dead. He's a good actor and would do a great job in the role.

She is a member of the Brotherhood of Evil, following in her mother's footsteps. In Super Max she has really given up her evil ways and stays peacefully incarcerated in the hopes of seeing her own Daughter, who is taken into custody of Oliver Queen.

Rachel Nichols [Height: 5' 10", Age: 34, Notable Works: G.I. Joe The Rise Of Cobra, P2, Conan The Barbarian]: She's a wonderful actress and hardly appears on the fan casts anymore.

The mutation altered his skin making him appear albino when his powers are not activated.

Scott Grimes [Height: 5' 8", Age: 42, Notable Works: American Dad, Band of Brothers, Robin Hood]: I honestly enjoyed his performance in Robin Hood, but i didn't want to see or cast him as a Hero, and I felt honestly he would be a wonderful choice for Icicle, something that could really test what Scott can do as an actor.


Split [Height: 5' 10", Age: 20's]: A C-List Supervillain who has the ability to move through mater and teleport short distance. He Joins Oliver Queen in His attempt to escape Super Max.

Ben Whishaw [Height: 5' 9", Age: 33, Notable Works: Skyfall, Cloud Atlas, Bright Star]: Ben is a good actor and really fitting choice. I think he'd do it just to be in a more stylized Superhero film that actually does something very different from the others.

Matt Frewer [Height: 6' 3", Age: 56, Notable Works: Watchmen, Eureka, 50/50]: I've always had a high regard for Matt as an actor, and when I read the Calculator in the Super Max script, Matt was actually the first actor to really pop in my head. He's a good actor and would slam dunk the role.

Experimenting on himself, he created a serum that made him grow stronger and taller, but in the process was turned into a mindless brute; an additional side-effect of the serum was that it took away his power of speech.

Wesley Snipes [Height: 5' 9", Age: 51, Notable Works: Blade {Trilogy}, Gallowwalker, Expendables 3]: He's a good actor and a highly trained martial artist. He's best known by comic book fans as Blade, but that's a long time ago, he needs another role to show his impressive skills and it would be delightful to see him play a villain again.

Having been a super-villain and anti-hero, he'll commit any murder for the right price because of a notorious suicidal death wish.

He first fought the Justice League and, when he failed to defeat that group, he fought their sidekicks and former sidekicks, the Teen Titans. He then founded the Fearsome Five, but they were later defeated by the Titans. Light was violently expelled from the Five by his teammates. Each criminal caper led to Light's defeat, often humiliating him in the process. Light's most ignominious defeat was likely his defeat by Little Boy Blue and his Blue Boys.

David Tennant [Height: 6' 1", Age: 42, Notable Works: Doctor Who, Fright Night, Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire]: Tennant is an intriguing actor. When he really commits to a role, he does it the full mile. I think This is a role that is rich for a man of his style and talent.

His blood is royal, as he is the final heir to the throne of Vlatava. Beginning as an enemy to Black Canary and Green Arrow in Star City, he would go on to expand his criminal interests.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers [Height: 5' 10", Age: 36, Notable Works: Tudors, Dracula, August Rush]: if anything Tudors showed he could play a complete bastard of a person, and Dracula shows he can play malevolent.

Julian McMahon [Height: 6' 2", Age: 45, Notable Works: Nip/Tuck, Charmed, Fantastic Four]: This is the perfect role for an actor like Julian. He plays a backstabbing bastard like nobody's business.

Adrian Paul [Height: 6' 0", Age: 54, Notable Works: Highlander {T.V. Series}, Eyeborgs, Nemesis Game]: He's Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander, and in all honesty how could he not be perfect for this role? He does a fantastic Job as an actor and has a Martial Arts Background. He could no doubt take the role of this Dark Archer Villain and turn him into a wonderfully evil character. Adrian could use a role like this, an Evil one that really frees him up to try new things as an actor.


Slade Wilson/Deathstroke [Height: 6’4”, Age: 50’s-60’s]: Deathstroke is the world's greatest assassin/mercenary and an enemy of the Teen Titans. Originally a soldier in the U.S. Army, he was part of an experimental super-soldier project where he gained enhanced strength, agility and intelligence. His vendetta against the Titans began when he swore revenge for the death of his oldest son Grant; his other two children would go on to become Titans members as Jericho and Ravager. Traditionally his actions have been limited by a strong personal code of honor, although his motives became more villainous following the death of his wife Adeline Kane. Through this time his only steady companion is his loyal manservant Major Wintergreen. He has been a member of Checkmate, H.I.V.E., the Injustice League, the Secret Society of Super-Villains, the Titans and Titans East.

George Clooney [Height: 5’11”, Age: 52, Notable Works: The American, The Ides of March]: First off thank you to Mr.BlueSky for consulting me I had asked him to consult on my possible choices for Deathstroke and he made a very convincing argument as to why George is the best to go with. First he needs nerd/geek redemption for Batman and Robin, He’s a good actor he was just in a horrible movie. Secondly he’s aged but he can do action, that’s rare, very rare, and as good a performer as he is he would be worth seeing as Deathstroke.

Julian McMahon, huh? What a slimeball! Perfect for Maxwell Lord.

Great cast, dude! I can now definitely see Kinaman as Queen. And I like your Roy Harper pick. I can't wait to see your next work.

BTW, thanks for the shout out!

- Kinnaman's a pretty good actor, but he doesn't look like a rich playboy to me.
- I like your Black Canary choice!
- I don't hate Olivia Munn like everyone else around here. She's doing very well professionally, appearing in The Newsroom.
- Stephen Lang is also great for Wildcat!
- Denzel may be too big for a role like Lt. Hilton.
- Shouldn't whoever play Roy Harper be a little younger than Emile Hirsch?
- Vivica A. Fox as New 52 Amanda Waller? Don't mind if I do!
- The original VA of the Green Arrow is a nice addition to this cast!
- Wesley Snipes deserves a big-screen comeback, and I think he'd do great in the role that Michael Jai White recently populated on Arrow.
- Methinks Joaquin is too big for a role like Deadshot. My opinion.
- The Doctor as another doctor; great idea!
- Gotta get into the Dracula TV show once it hits DVD.
- I think Julian deserves another shot to play a villain. Maxwell Lord would be perfect!
- No clue if George Clooney would be eligible to play a Batman villain since he already appeared in a Batman movie. But I too thought of him as Deathstroke. Fantastic casting!

Great cast for each of the characters. It's awesome.
Also great picks for the villains who are chosen to appear in "Super Max".
I especially love your casting for Emma Watson as Arrowette.

Great cast!
I am loving your choice for the director. He has an impressive vision, and he'd do a stellar job with Green Arrow.
I absolutely love the choice of Joel Kinnaman for Green Arrow. He has everything needed for the role; he also really matches the iconic look, I think.
Stana is not, as you stated, a conventional choice, but damn, she is a great pick. Dinah is a natural brunette, so that is actually pretty fitting. Plus, she is a natural badass with wit.
I really like the credibility within this cast. There's a fine mixture of extremely well known talent, and actors who have reached such caliber. However, their acting is still superb. Great work!
