Green Arrow Movie in the Works?

According to E! Online columnist Anderson Jones, Hollywood producers are "sniffing around" at the DC Comics character Green Arrow as potential big screen material. Writer-director (and comics buff) Kevin Smith's (Dogma) recent revamp of the archery-adept superhero has been selling out from comic stands nationwide so this apparently has caught the attention of hit-craving Hollywood-types.


Since Warner Brothers owns the film rights to all of DC Comics' characters, I'd imagine they'd have to be involved in any potential live-action feature film version of The Green Arrow. No word yet on whether Smith will be involved on a Green Arrow film in any way. Smith was previously attached to produce the (never made) feature film version of the Vertigo comic Preacher. Vertigo is a part of DC Comics and, thus, Warner Brothers.
