'Green Arrow' movie still in the works

The proposed movie based on DC Comics superhero Green Arrow is still in the works, according to producer David Goyer.

In an interview with MTV, The Dark Knight scribe explained that the Warner Bros project will still go ahead, with a new writer currently being sought to work on the script.

"We're working on that. We're about to bring on another writer. Obviously, Warner Bros is now heavily into mining all of the various DC properties," he said.

Provisionally titled Green Arrow: Super Max, the plot is said to feature the crime fighter ending up behind bars, sharing a prison with a host of villains from the DC Universe. Lex Luthor and the Joker are reportedly down for cameos, alongside lesser-known antagonists.

The Green Arrow first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 in 1941. More recently, a version of the character has made numerous appearances in the hit television series Smallville, played by Justin Hartley.
