In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brad Meltzer, the best selling novelist, comic book author, and host of the new History Channel show Brad Meltzer's Decoded spoke about his interest in writing a super-hero movie.



On the screenplay he'd like to write

I would do a superhero movie in a heartbeat. Everyone is going to say Batman. Everyone is going to say the big ones. Anyone who reads Identity Crisis sees I love them all. You give me the smallest character those characters have lived with me since I was eight years old. I would do Green Arrow in a heartbeat.

On a Justice League of America movie

What kind of nerd would I be not saying yes to that? [Later Meltzer added he dreams of doing the JLA-centered Identity Crisis as a live action movie.]”

I would love a Green Arrow movie Brad Meltzer is good and had a great take on the character (aside from his revelation Ollie left his son).

I would love for Ollie to be played By Brad Pitt for an older Green Arrow. It would be his last chance at a Hero Film and we could get a trilogy of an established Hero with a short flash of his origin in the first film and then take the series off with Connor Hawke Taking over.

Brad Meltzer is my favorite writer from DC!! I would ADORE any movie he wrote. His take on GA was the best I've ever read. (Including Identity Crisis)

DO IT DO IT DO IT! Warner Bros I'm talking to you!!

Meltzer would be the only guy I would want to do a movie like Green Arrow. Ollie's story would have to be relatively grounded and Meltzer could bring the character to life in a suspenseful hero movie.

why don't they make a quick $50-$60 million Green Arrow movie
with some talented but cheap directors and crew like District 9[it didn't cost much and Neil is an amazing director]?
even Jon had zathura in his resume when he began Iron Man.


Green Hornet,Green Lantern now a Green Arrow would be awesome.

GA is a really under rated character, WB would be wise to give him his own show, hell he could even carry his own cartoon if teamed up correctly(to counter his liberalism).

@superman1991- In terms of movies there is little difference between Nolan's Batman and Oliver Queen, different personality, different weapon choice, different color. A GA movie would work just as well as the Batman movies, maybe even better because Ollie has more personality. I doubt we would care to see a full trilogy, but a one shot would work superbly.

This would be awesome. It would be even cooler if they did a Green Lantern/Green Arrow movie. Charlie Hunnam would be sweet as Green Arrow by the way.

Nice spelling ability SuperArgo. With your brains, it makes sense that you don't read DC.

"I'd do Green Arrow in a heartbeat"

That's what she said.. =P

Seriously though, I would love a Green Arrow movie, even if it is low-budget.

Charlie Hunamm or Josh Holloway would make a really cool Green Arrow. Hunamm looks A LOT like Year One GA. Read that graphic novel if you haven't! :F

Hunamm would also make a great Iron Fist though.

i personally would like to see Josh Hartnett as Green Arrow.

luckylu - 2/18/2011, 12:24 PM
all i have to say is that they better put him in a black leather vest with sunglasses and give him a sniper rifle. cause you know...costumes are not important and make characters look silly. throw out his original history and just make him part of some military branch. plus a bow and arrow? really? sooooo realistic for a cbm!

I would love to see a Green Arrow movie.And Charlie Hunnam would be perfect for the role.He is such a bada$$ on Sons of Anarchy,I think he could pull off Oliver Queen pretty damn good.And I'm pretty sure that all of the people that seen The Dark Knight or any DC or Marvel movie would definately go see this too.
