The Flash Movie is being rewritten...

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Or "How to kill a franchise in 5 movies or less"...

While “The Flash” waits to find its new director, Warner Bros. has tapped Joby Harold to do a page-one rewrite to the script, sources tell Variety.

The pic has been on hold since losing director Rick Famuyiwa and while it waits to find his replacement, the studio has decided to take script in different direction.

WB had no comment.

Executives have been taking their time in finding his replacement. With Ezra Miller, who will play the speedy superhero, getting ready to shoot “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2,” they decided work on a new script in the meantime.

Famuyiwa had written the latest draft. Sources say the original reason for his departure had to do with executives disagreeing with where he had taken the script. Seth Grahame-Smith had also written a previous draft

Hell, all you needed was the title of this thread and you would have nailed the state of this movie.

Thank god for the TV show.

I'm not even a fan of the show, but DC should just give Greg Berlanti a call.

"A third of the way through, Ezra runs so fast he goes through a portal and disappears. When he comes out the other side he's Grant Gustin."

Joby Harold produced Edge of Tomorrow, which was pretty enjoyable. He also wrote and directed Awake (2007), I never saw that but the critics tore that to bits.

So this could go either way.

But yeah, at least there's still the show. As convoluted as the time travel stories get, there's a lot of warmth in the CW Flash.

That's exactly it, too. The Flash TV series is so well received because of the heart at the center of it. It's not a perfect show, but the heroes are actually good people you can root for and they make you smile. The movies need that quality bad.

So, you're saying you don't want to see Barry have to bludgeon a baby seal?

I can't wait for Jay Garrick to tell Barry that honestly, he should just run past people in danger. Barry heroically runs around Professor Zoom until all of Zoom's flesh peels from his bones.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen online.

It looks like Evans is really gettin blown

Man, Wonder Woman might seriously be the only movie to come out of all this relatively unscathed.

Yeah, about Awake; who thought 80 minutes of Hayden Christensen mentally screaming with a hasty murder ploy was a good idea?

So what is that 3 directors and how many page one rewrites?

criminy. Not that it can't be a good movie post rewrites... but this isn't a lesser known hero like Ant-man or Guardians of the Galaxy...

this is one of DC's A List... who we've been slightly introduced to already in the DCCU... this is their first round of new hero movies...this is not a good look for a movie franchise that is already failing to meet expectations.

Yeah, this would be less of a problem if it was like, "Well, damn, our Deadman movie isn't moving along", it's, "We already put him in something, and made it clear he's REALLY IMPORTANT and I guess can talk to dream Bruce, but no, we can't get out of our own asses and make this already".

That as recently as November was supposed to begin filming in March.

And people genuinely wonder why these rumours of the DCEU being in complete shambles are floating around?

It's the same thing over and over. They want DC to be a success, like most of us do, but will put stubborn blinders on and stamp their feet, come up with anything they can to explain DCEU's mediocrity. Like the conspiracy that Marvel's trying to sabotage them.

WB don't need any help sabotaging this franchise.

Kill it. Try again in five years with creative people who aren't con artists like Zack and Deborah Snyder at the helm.

This thread indicates that might not be the case...
