The Times Colonist is reporting that The CW's new superhero television show
Arrow will be shooting on the campus of Roaly Roads University. More specifically the shoot will be at historical Hatley Castle. The Castle is no stranger to the big and small screen either, it was used for the exterior shoots of Luthor mansion in Smallville as well as doubled as Professor X's School for Gifted Youngsters in the X-Men series. Cameras will roll starting later this month and will use the Vancouver Island location for around two days. The castle is being used as a home base for Oliver Queen, who will be played by Stephen Amell.
Arrow's shoot will consist mainly in Vancouver, but will relocate once they are done with the area. The show's pilot is being direct by Smallville alum David Nutter and written by Green Lantern writers Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim. The show is being described as
"It's very provocative and sophisticated and edgy," by CW's head of development Thom Sherman with others saying that this Oliver Queen will be the Jason Bourne of superheros.
