The CW will order a pilot for a one hour live action Green Arrow series, according to Deadline. The series is written and executive produced by Greg Berlanti & Marc Guggenheim (Green Lantern), with Andrew Kreisberg (Fringe). The pilot will likely be directed by David Nutter, who directed the Smallville pilot (which was picked up by the CW for a long run) and episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Game of Thrones, and non-genre series like Shameless and Entourage.
Green Arrow was actually a long-running character on Smallville, portrayed by Justin Hartley (who’s not attached to this new project).
The plan is to put the character in a new world not based on the DC comics.
CW has been searching for a replacement for its long-running Smallville series, which recently ended (see “Complete ‘Smallville’ DVDs’).
