We have some brief, but good news to announce. It appears that SUPERMAX will now simply be called Green Arrow. We get the scoop from our friends at slashfilm:
David Goyer’s Supermax, which now looks to have broader box office potential after the success of Iron Man, has been retitled Green Arrow. The well-reviewed script, which sees Green Arrow facing off in a high security prison with DC villains like The Riddler, is by Justin Marks, who wrote the aforemenioned He-Man script that’s driving the Internet nuts right now.
I’ m very glad that the name has been changed. I actually think it’s cool that Green Arrow is going to prison – but calling the project Supermax was a marketing disaster waiting to happen. When you name the Film Green Arrow, (most) people know what the hell you are talking about. Supermax could be a film about anyone in prison.
When you are doing a superhero film – you really want to pump the hero, not a setting. Stronger heads have prevailed on this one.
