SuperMax-No Not that one

[TheComicbookKid]

Here’s another six figure deal that just went down! BloodyDisgusting reports Sony’s Columbia Pictures dropped some sweaty cash for an original spec script from actor/writers Christopher Allen Nelson and Mitch Rouse, for their horror-action Supermax.
Supermax takes place in a Maximum Security Prison for the Super-Natural as a skilled guard must join forces with a lethal inmate after a riot ensues in order to fight his way through various monsters and mad-men in order to survive.
You had me at prison for the super-natural. That’s a great world for anyone to play in! Think of the possibilities

Damn. That sounds exactly like the Green Arrow one just replace the supervillain with the supernatural and make it a buddy pic.

It totally does, if that happens i doubt the supermax/green arrow film will go down. They would probably go with a different idea for GA.

Wow. Who stole from who?

 

[Steyin]

Hmmm, I like this personally. Hopefully it forces WB to go with their origin plan for GA (if they ever make a film) rather than their Supermax; I never liked the idea to begin with.

Sounds like it could be a pretty fun/cool film.

I notice people are bringing up Green Arrow. I've heard a little about that idea for the Green Arrow film being in a prison, I just don't know much about that character. Was that a major story/origin for the character in the comics or just an idea that fans think would be cool?

 

[Dr. Evil]

I'd prefer this one to be made then the Green Arrow version, written by the same guy who wrote the Legend of Chun Li.

Green Arrow Super-max would've been a kickass original superhero flick but scrap it and let these guys get their movie made. Now that DC Entertainment is formed, let Ollie get his own movie.

I really don't want to see an Ollie origin story because it's not that compelling. What makes Ollie neat is that he's actively political and a cynical son of a gun. There must be a way to make a Green Arrow pic without relying on an origin. That's why I think Supermax (Green Arrow) would be perfect for the character. It just needs a major rewrite.

 

[The Guard]

So we have another Supermax project not to care much about. Yayyy.

I really like this idea...much better than a Green Arrow story. A normal guard and a super villain teaming up to survive....awesome.
