The Flash Movie To Be Rewritten by King Arthur's Joby Harold
DC’s tumultuous adventures in cinema continue as Warner Bros. have decided to throw out the current script for the stand-alone Flash film featuring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, and handed the project to King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword's Joby Harold for a 'page one' rewrite.
No pressure then…
Despite the character’s history of bending time through speed it looks like Warner Bros. are looking to do their own bit of history rewriting. The project has been sluggish to say the least; first Seth Grahame-Smith was attached to direct first and wrote a draft, working from an earlier treatment from Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Then he was replaced by Dope's Rick Famuyiwa, who had his own take, one that apparently clashed with the executives' vision for the character.
The film is still in need of a director, and with star Ezra Miller busy on the Justice League and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2, and with both Kiersey Clemons and Billy Crudup remain attached to play Iris West and Barry's father respectively, it falls to Harold to get the project back on track.
