Sam Raimi & Marc Webb Pass On THE FLASH

I’m pulling for Vaughn. He’s got a kinetic shooting style that’d really suit the Flash.

I don't get it, what is it about this project that sends directors running? There must be someone seriously toxic from WB for this to keep happening.

>>92617379
im pretty sure its WB's insistence on basicly copying the entire tv show without the cast
>Thawne in a wheelchare in the past
>Black Iris
>another Zoom final battle

The exact same EW report that included Billy Crudup leaving the Flash before they edited that part out

Sod off

Have you, by chance, seen any DC films recently?

With connected universes, what happens is that the studio has an idea of what kind of movie they want, and then they try to find a director who suits the film they had in mind.

For people to pass on the job, it either meant that
1. The script, and more importantly the demands that can't be altered from higher ups, is a stinking mess and that if you take the job you will stain your own career.

2. Time. You could be given an unrealistic deadline for film release compared to the amount of work left to do. You see it as mission impossible and say no.

The Batman solo film was likely 2 until it got delayed so it no longer mattered. I suspect Flash is 1.

This is the same report that Billy droped out of the project and they just edited it out, I would take this with a block of salt

>>92617481
It's currently going through a page-1 rewrite according to rumors, yes? I could see how directors would like to influence that.

>>92617497
I wouldn't. Neither Raimi nor Webb would want to get involved with a troubled production after what they've gone through with Spider-Man.

>>92617692
Yes. From the guy whose only script writing credit so far is Guy Ritchie's King Arthur movie.

So yeah.

>>92617439
You do know thats not the plot right?!
Thats the scprit the tv show was based on.
Tgey rewrote the whole thing

Are WB lowballing directors that not even the money is worth it?

>>92617963
It was Seth Grahame-Smith's pitch but he's long gone.

>Vaughn
I want him for MoS 2 though.

>>92618335
My guess is that it's like this:

>Hello director, want to make the Flash?
>I'm interested.
>Okay, you need to do this this and this because it needs to set up these two movies, and you need to include a cameo of this character to tease their movie, then it needs to tie into the Justice League like this...
>You know what, nevermind.
