Blake Neely has announced at the composer panel Behind the Music: Composing for WonderCon’s Favorite Projects at last week’s WonderCon 2012 at the Anaheim Convention Center that he is scoring the pilot of the new CW show Arrow. The modern retelling of the story of the DC Comics character Green Arrow stars Stephen Amell as the vigilante superhero who fights crime using archery, martial arts and technology under his secret identity as Oliver Queen, a wealthy playboy and billionaire industrialist-turned-outspoken politician in Star City. Katie Cassidy, Susanna Thompson, Willa Holland and Colin Salmon are co-starring in the pilot. The project is written and executive produced by Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim (The Green Lantern) and Andrew Kreisberg (Fringe). David Nutter (Disturbing Behavior, The X-Files) is directing the pilot. Neely has previously worked with Berlanti on numerous TV shows, including Everwood, Brothers & Sisters and the superhero series No Ordinary Family. They also collaborated on the 2010 feature Life as We Know It. Arrow is expected to premiere this fall on the CW if the network picks up the series.

Neely is also currently scoring the final episodes of the fourth season of the CBS hit drama The Mentalist.
