Could Kevin Smith be directing Super Max for his Comic Book movie?

Kevin Smith (Clerks) has revealed that it’s possible he will be doing a Comic Book movie after all. Smith was originally attached to write and direct The Green hornet but bowed out after fearing that he would not be able to handle such a big budget movie.

Smith has already lined up his next two films: a rom com titled Zack and Miri Make a Porno, followed by a horror film titled Red State. After those two, howevver, it’s likely he will do a superhero flick.

Speaking to Wizard, Smith said, “I think that by that point, by my 10th film, I’ll be ready to take on something that is very visually oriented. The 10th movie I think is going to be a comic book movie - not “The Green Hornet,” though. There’s something that we’re kind of negotiating on right now which would actually be pretty cool. I don’t know what the audience for it would be, but I would dig making it because I’ve always been a fan of the character. I can’t say what it is though, because they haven’t locked it in.”

Could the character is question be Green Arrow? David Gover has sold Warner Bros on making a movie based on the Green Arrow DC comics character. Super Max would follow a wrongly convicted Green Arrow as he is incarcerated in a super maxim security prison for out-of-control heroes and super villains. Arrow will come face to face with some of the people he has put in the prison while he attempts a prison break.

Kevin Smith wrote a 15 issue arc for the rebirth of the Green Arrow comic book series for DC comics in 2000 so he would be the perfect candidate to lead the project.
With Super Max on track for a 2010 release it would fit into Smith’s schedule perfectly. Maybe his superhero project is completely unrelated? What are your thoughts?
