Herein you will find the first full length trailer for the latest DC adaptation, ARROW, based on their character The Green Arrow. It will be screened on the CW network in The Americas.
We reported on Stephen Amell (90210, VAMPIRE DIARIES) landing the lead role back in February, and he seems to be running with it. As you’ll gather from the trailer, it’s verrrrrrrrrrrrrry BATMAN BEGIN-y. Millionaire playboy goes out of town, grows a Kurt Russell-style beard, learns to be a badass, comes back to town, gains a super hero alter-ego, avenges his father, takes out goons. I’m surprised DC aren’t suing themselves.
Here’s the official synopsis:
A 27 year old reformed bad boy, who after having spent five years shipwrecked on a tiny, brutally dangerous island in the South China Sea, returns to town a different man. Or to be more specific, a tortured, thoughtful master of the bow with a ferocious determination to make a difference.
The pilot is co-written by Andrew Kreisberg, Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim and is directed by the brilliantly named David Nutter, who helmed the pilots for SMALLVILLE, DARK ANGEL and TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES among others. It stars Amell as Oliver Queen, Colin Donnell as Tommy, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance.
After Hawkeye’s success in THE AVENGERS, we may find ARROW has a ready made fan-base. Let us know what you think. Here’s your trailer:
