Earlier this summer came the surprise announcement that the Emmy nomination Lovecraft Country Showrunner Misha Green was asked to write a screenplay for Black Canary by Jurnee Smollett, the DC hero who first appeared in the Birds of prey feature film. More details have not been confirmed, but Green herself has a few teases for us. As noticed by Murphy’s multiverse, Green caught on social networks this week, asking her subscribers to help her “put off writing while thinking about writing,” asking questions about screenwriting, storytelling and television directing that she would do her best. better to answer. While the thread has plenty of handy tips on the art of writing itself, she offered a few nods to Black Canary.

When asked about his feelings about “biker jackets and fishnets” (Dinah’s signature look in the pages of DC Comics), Green replied, “LOVE biker jackets and fishing nets. fishing. 😉. ” Another Twitter user asked if Project Black Canary would go into detail about Dinah’s past / backstory, Green responded with just a series of zipper emojis. Green also teased “Lots of Research” for the project, prompting none other than fan-favorite comic book scribe Gail Simone to respond, “I know you absolutely don’t need it, but if there is. has something I can help with in your research, @mishagreen, let me know! “

Another question for Green was whether she felt any pressure writing both Project Black Canary and the new Tomb Raider movie (the last one she will also direct, her first feature film). Green replied, “No pressure, just excitement. And I know actresses playing these iconic ladies will make me look good.”

A final response from Green, while not specifically a question about Black Canary, came in response to a question about how to make each character in a script stand out, and she offered a preview. enough of his writing style that we thought it was worth including. She replied:

“After the first draft, it’s easier to hear each character’s voice. And in the rewrite, you go back and remove their voices more, and remove / edit the things that don’t quite match the character that you want. “They were mainly doing to serve the story. And then you keep rewriting more.

Project Black Canary joins an exciting collection of DC projects in development for the HBO Max streaming service, as feature films Batgirl and Blue Beetle are also in the works.
