DC’s The Flash Movie Loses Its Director

After a positive buzz around the upcoming Ezra Miller-starring ‘The Flash’ movie, attached director Seth Grahame-Smith has left the project.

2016 is a big year for DC and their cinematic ventures, with ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ having made $855 million so far, it has failed to top the $1 billion mark as expected. With ‘Suicide Squad’ the next big one out this summer, this news about ‘The Flash’ is something of a bump in the road for the Marvel rival.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Grahame-Smith left the production after “creative differences” and comes as an unwelcomed blow to the project which must now search for a new helmer.

Grahame-Smith’s script he penned - a script he wrote from ‘The LEGO Movie’s’ Phil Lord Christopher Miller’s and treatment - will apparently still be used ahead of its 2018 cinema release.

The first glimpse of Ezra’s depiction of the famed fastest man alive superhero came earlier this year in Zack Snyder’s ‘Dawn of Justice’, where he appeared twice - once in a Bruce Wayne vision of the future and the other when he was searching through Lex Luthor’s files he had on The Flash, as well as Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Cyborg.

‘The Flash’ appeared to be running smoothly, with Ezra even turning up to the ‘Dawn of Justice’ première, but hopefully the production itself won’t suffer too much as a result of the departure.

Yet this isn’t the cut-off point for Grahame-Smith in terms of DC and indeed Warner Bros. association. He’s currently involved in ‘The LEGO Batman Movie’ and is also in charge of the ‘Beetlejuice 2′ screenplay.

‘The Flash is due in cinemas in March, 2018.
