  • The IMDB page for Kevin’s upcoming horror/thrilled has now changed the name to “Red State”. The “Red State” news hasn’t taken long to spread, either. Both horror fansite CHUD and Film Threat have also posted articles on the Rotten Tomatoes story that broke over the weekend.
  • Could the Green Arrow be coming to the big screen? Just weeks after he and Warners split over “The Flash” project due to very different takes on the material, David Goyer sold the studio on a new idea, reports Wizard Universe.
“Super Max” is Goyer’s take on supervillain incarceration in the DC Universe. Revolving around a wrongly convicted Green Arrow being whisked away to the super max prison for out-of-control heroes and villains, the man is forced to face a number of inmates he put there.

Goyer likens the film to “Alcatraz” – “He has to team up with, in some cases, some of the very same villains he is responsible for incarcerating in order to get out and clear his name. Of course, tons of people try to kill him while he’s in there. We’ve populated the prison with all sorts of B and C villains from the DC Universe…but they’re all going to be there under their human names and no one is wearing a costume, but there will be a lot of characters with powers and things like that.”

Goyer, developing the project with writer Justin Marx, says the Green Arrow will only make a small appearance in costume – “He’s Green Arrow for the first 10 minutes of the movie, and then he’s arrested and his secret identity is revealed”.

Sounds like a cool flick to us – We’ll let you know if it gets off the ground. We’d sure love to see Kevin’s writing take on such a project.

  • Dawn Ostroff, president of the CW network, cites “Reaper” (and Kevin’s involvement) as one of the projects the network is most excited about in a recent interview.

  • A veiled reference to Dogma appeared on this blogging site over the weekend. A screenshot is above.
