ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg on the Evolution of Summer Glau’s Isabel

Comments Off on ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg on the Evolution of Summer Glau’s Isabel
Summer Glau may be best known for her kick-ass roles on shows like TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, but when she landed the role of Isabel Rochev on ARROW, the writers weren’t entirely sure if they would be writing to those strengths.
“It’s funny, because when Summer took the part, I was up there on set with her, and she was like, ‘I’ve never done anything like this. I feel much better if I’m kicking somebody,'” ARROW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told reporters last week. ” And I’m just like, ‘You’re so good. You should give yourself more credit. We wanted you because you’re such a good actress and you feel amazing in this part. Not because you can kick ass.’ And then [later] I got to call her and say, ‘Hey, we changed our minds. You get to kick ass.’ But in 18, when she does, it’s like, ‘Oh yeah.'”

ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg on Laurel’s New Insight into Oliver
April 15, 2014 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Arrow
ARROW’s Slade Wilson has been steadily laying the groundwork to properly get his revenge on Oliver, and in the last episode he delivered a double-whammy: he told Thea her birth father was actually Malcolm Merlyn, and informed Laurel that Oliver was The Arrow. And while viewers already got a little taste of how Thea will react to the news of her paternity, how Laurel will respond to the bombshell that was dropped on her is a bit of a question mark.
“I think Laurel has obviously had a very rough year,” ARROW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told reporters. “When Slade told Laurel, he thought that was going to be yet another devastating death charge into Oliver’s life. And I think Laurel’s reaction into finding out the news — for one, not just taking it at face value, but being smart about it — and her emotional reaction to the news is surprising. I think most people assume she will react one way, and that she reacts a different way is great.”
ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg Teases What Comes From Barry’s New Knowledge

Comments Off on ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg Teases What Comes From Barry’s New Knowledge
ARROW has exposed Oliver Queen’s secret identity to a handful of people during the run of the series, but when he got poisoned in last night’s episode, Felicity made the call to unmask him to her new friend, Barry Allen — AKA man who will soon become the Flash — in the hopes of saving his life.
The next episode, “Three Ghosts,” picks up where last night’s hour left off, and understandably, Barry is freaking out a little bit over his newfound knowledge.

Comments Off on ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg, Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Grant Gustin Preview The Flash’s Debut! Plus, a Tease For What John Barrowman’s Return Will Mean for the Queens
It’s been more than four months since it was announced that Flash/Barry Allen would be making his debut in the ARROW universe (with the intention to build a spinoff around that character), and tonight is the night viewers will finally get to meet him.
“Barry comes to Starling City because there is an unexplained robbery at Queen Consolidated, and Barry is very interested in the unexplained throughout the course of these two episodes,” ARROW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg teased to reporters earlier this week. “[Barry]’s the opposite of Oliver in a lot of ways: he’s funny and he’s outgoing, and a little unsure of himself, and smart.”
As for Barry’s portrayer — former GLEE guest star Grant Gustin — ARROW executive producers have nothing but praise for their newest star.
ARROW: ‘Crucible’ Photos — Arrow Meets the Black Canary! Plus, Andrew Kreisberg Teases Her Arc

The ARROW season premiere kicked off with one heck of character dropping in near the end of the hour — the Black Canary! The only slight issue? It wasn’t Katie Cassidy’s Laurel Lance (in the comics, Black Canary’s alter ego is Dinah Laurel Lance), but a as-yet-unidentified-on-screen woman.
And while the Black Canary only had a quick drop-in with Roy in her first appearance, as the photos from episode four, “Crucible,” tease, she’ll soon be spending some quality time with Oliver Queen’s Arrow.
Take a look at those shows, plus watch what ARROW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg teased to reporters about what the Black Canary’s arc will be this season…

Comments Off on ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg on Introducing Flash and Getting to Write the Part with Grant Gustin in Mind
ARROW hasn’t been shy about bringing in other iconic comic book character during its run so far, but in season 2, the show is doing something a bit more out there: it’s introducing Barry Allen/Flash (who will be played by Grant Gustin) into Oliver’s world, with the hopes of launching a solo CW series for Flash.
On the Vancouver set of ARROW, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg talked with reporters about Barry’s introduction into the world (and which character he has an “easy” relationship with), casting Gustin before they have to write the official backdoor pilot, and more…

ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns Tease The Flash’s Introduction and Impact on Starling City
July 30, 2013 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under Arrow
ARROW may be just getting ready for its second season, but already The CW is looking to expand the DC universe — ARROW will officially be bringing in Barry Allen (Flash) for an arc during the upcoming season of ARROW with the hopes of spinning it off.
“It really started with [ARROW executive producer] Greg Berlanti,” ARROW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told reporters on a conference call this afternoon. “The Flash was his favorite character as a kid growing up, and he’s obviously been a strong, personal favorite of [ARROW executive producer] Geoff [Johns] and mine. So when Greg approached us one day and said, ‘What do you think if we did Flash as a spinoff?,’ all of us lit up. Despite the fact that he has super powers, there’s something very relatable about Barry of all the big seven of the Justice League. He got his powers by accident; he’s not a god, he’s not an alien. He wasn’t seeking this out, it came to him. So his reaction to that feels very human and grounded…Oliver Queen is a very dark and tortured soul, and Barry is not. I think it’ll be fun…to see these two characters together, because they both have distinctly different world views, while deeply caring about right and wrong.”
“And Barry’s somebody who is a cop,” Johns teased. “He follows the law, he follows the rules, he’s the last person in the world who would ever think about being a vigilante.”
In fact, Barry will be working for the good guys when ARROW viewers are first introduced to him. (Barry is currently scheduled to appear in episodes 8, 9, and 20 — all of which written by Berlanti, Kreisberg, and Johns, while episode 20 will be directed by David Nutter.)
