《綠箭俠》要出衍生劇《閃電俠》
News of an "Arrow" spinoff focused on The Flash has snowballed in the past few days. On Tuesday (July 30), the producers of "Arrow" talked to reporters about the details of the Barry Allen character and his "Flash" alter-ego.
Viewers will meet the Allen character over the course of three "Arrow" Season 2 episodes. At first, Barry Allen is nothing more than an ordinary forensic scientist, working at the Central City Police Department. In episodes 8 and 9, Oliver Queen will interact with Allen when the latter visits Starling City. The character will return in episode 20 for a more in-depth look at the future Flash's world.
This final episode will most likely serve as a pilot for any potential spinoff.
Producers Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns wouldn't give away too much of the proposed plot for The Flash, but they were happy to share details of Barry Allen's basic personality.
"Despite the fact that he's got superpowers, I think there's something really relatable about Barry," Kreisberg said. "He got his powers by accident. He isn't a god, he isn't an alien, he wasn't seeking this out. These powers came to him and his reactions to that feel very human and grounded."
How does Barry Allen actually transform into The Flash then? "That's part of the fun for the audience, for the ride, to see how we do our 'Arrow' take on The Flash legacy," explained Kreisberg. But there will definitely be superpowers somehow. "He does need powers to become The Flash," Geoff Johns said. This Flash won't even replace his comic-book costume with a hoodie -- the character's signature red costume will appear.
As for the interactions between Oliver Queen's Green Arrow and Barry Allen's Flash, the two are mostly very different. According to Andrew Kreisberg, "Oliver Queen is a very dark and tortured soul, and Barry is not. I think it'll be a fun byplay to see these two characters together, because they both have distinctly different world views, while both caring deeply about right and wrong."
Geoff Johns added, "He's a cop. He follows the law, he follows the rules ... The last thing in the world he would ever think about is being a vigilante."
娛樂快訊:
CW正在試圖在自己狹小的熒幕上召喚正義聯(lián)盟!
目前電視網(wǎng)正在開發(fā)《綠箭俠 Arrow》的衍生劇《閃電俠 Flash》,主角當然是那個跑的飛快的超級英雄Barry Allen。第二季《綠箭俠 Arrow》中的一集將作為后門試播集主打該角色,然后再考慮開發(fā)衍生劇的可能。
「我們首先打算引入Dr. Barry Allen這個循環(huán)角色以及他的故事,也就是大家熟知的閃電俠?!笴W總裁Mark Pedowitz在周二的TCA見面會上告訴記者,「我們已經(jīng)計劃好了這一故事線,接下來要看看表現(xiàn)是否良好。我們的確希望能擴展整個DC宇宙。我們能夠利用的角色非常豐富,這只是我們有預謀有組織的其中一步?!?/p>
《綠箭俠 Arrow》的執(zhí)行制片人Greg Berlanti和Andrew Kreisberg將同DC娛樂的Geoff Johns攜手監(jiān)制該劇。掌鏡《綠箭俠 Arrow》導航集的David Nutter同樣也會執(zhí)導這一后門試播集。
需要注意的是,盡管目前《綠箭俠 Arrow》始終保持貼近現(xiàn)實的基調(diào),閃電俠的到來可能會造成一些改變。Kreisberg告訴記者,「我們初次見到Barry時,他只不過是個在Central City警署工作的法務專家。就像我們在《綠箭俠 Arrow》所做的一樣,我們會努力保證故事盡可能地接近現(xiàn)實。這就是我們引入Barry的方式,直到觀眾發(fā)現(xiàn)他的生活似乎開始加速了。」
「我們希望劇中的角色會對這些劇變作出盡可能貼近真實的反應。超能力并不會成為劇中的常態(tài)。這些離奇事件發(fā)生后,劇中的人物會有自己的應對?!?/p>
「盡管Barry有超能力,但和正義聯(lián)盟七巨頭其他成員的共性是,他是偶然獲得這一能力的。他并不是一個神,他不會主動去尋求。是超能力找到了他。他的反應仍然是非常人性的,真實的?!?/p>
同Oliver Queen相比,Barry的靈魂沒有那么黑暗?!缚吹竭@兩個角色在一起將非常有趣,因為兩人的世界觀截然不同,卻又都有著分明的是非觀?!筀reisberg補充道。
Barry將在綠箭俠第二季的第八和第九集率先亮相,而那個可能的后門試播集將被定在第20集。頭兩集將把Barry引入斯塔靈市,而關鍵的試播集則將正式引入閃電俠的世界。
《綠箭俠 Arrow》將于十月九日周三晚美東時間晚8點回歸CW。你認為扮演閃電俠的可能人選會是誰呢?
