Ezra Miller Talks About Working With Director Rick Famuyiwa And Kiersey Clemons On THE FLASH

 

During an interview with MTV, the Perks of Being a Wallflower actor spoke about how he and director Rick Famuyiwa will be exploring the brighter, human side of the DC Film Universe with The Flash. “I think there’s just an intention to make something extremely fun and something superhuman and something deeply human,” said Miller. “It’s the thing we’re all trying to do, but I think Rick’s mind and his heart are in an excellent place, and his expertise as a filmmaker, as evidenced by Dope, all come together as very exciting factors to me. It’s hard when talking about Rick to not use the word dope too many times. It’s the Brooklyn in me; dope is a big part of my vernacular.”

 

Miller went on to talk about his experience so far working with Kiersey Clemons, who recently signed on to play the role of Iris West, The Flash's love interest. “Kiersey is amazing. I had the opportunity to read with her and do some explorative acting in our chemistry read ... the results of these experiments clearly were positive. I’m just deeply excited about what these people carry in their hearts, and I’m excited about the radical intention that everybody seems to be bringing to the genesis chamber of this film.”

 

On Grant Gustin's portrayal:

 

“He’s [Grant Gustin] a boss,” said Miller when asked about his TV counterpart. “I can’t wait to see him, eye to eye, adrift in the Speed Force — our eyes will lock and, in that moment, we will both know the truth. What truth? I dare not say.”

JUSTICE LEAGUE's Ray Fisher Will Return As Cyborg In THE FLASH

 

According to Variety, Ray Fisher will be returning as Cyborg to team-up with Ezra Miller's Flash in 2018. There are no details as to how involved Cyborg will be in the film's overall storyline, but we should probably expect to see the hero make a brief appearance in the film as a possible supporting character.

 

Cyborg's appearance in The Flash also indicates at the possibility of seeing different members of the Justice League and DC Film Universe making appearances in each other's standalone films.

Or maybe they've cancelled the Cyborg movie and shoehorned him into Flash... hm

Rumor: The Flash Movie Villains Revealed as The Rogues

 

During a Periscope session earlier today, Umberto Gonzalez of The Wrap revealed that a group of villains known simply as The Rogues will be the the main villains for The Flash. Gonzalez did not report what members will make up the group, but should this turn out to be true, we may find out in the near future.

 

Before jumping into who we could see in particular, it is important to note that Gonzalez did not write this up as an exclusive report so it is possible, if unlikely, that this may not be the case. That said, The Flash is reportedly scheduled to start filming early next year, so director Rick Famuyiwa and new Head of DC Films Geoff Johns should have a good sense as to what the plan is for the story.

 

As for The Rogues themselves, the group has featured the likes of Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, Heat Wave, Mirror Master, The Trickster, Weather Wizard, and others. Both Captain Cold and Heat Wave may be safe bets to make an appearance in the movie, but there are many hoping that Jai Courtney could return as Captain Boomerang. His brief interaction with Flash in Suicide Squad could have easily been setup for the two to meet again down the road. If that is the case, they will have to find a way to get him out of Belle Reve.

Billy Crudup Cast as Barry Allen's Dad in The Flash Movie

 

billycruduptheflash-199075.jpg

 

Billy Crudup has been cast as Henry Allen, father of Barry Allen (played by Ezra Miller) in The Flash movie, Variety reports. The actor has a history with Warner Bros, Zack Snyder, and DC Comics, of course, as the blue-skinned and pantsless Doctor Manhattan in Watchmen. In that movie, he was the one doing the flashing.

 

Warner Bros. frequently dips into their own past for new films; once they've worked with - and like - and actor, they tend to show their loyalty, so Crudup getting another shot in a superhero world isn't too surprising. The casting for The Flash should be speeding up right about now, as the film is expected to go into active production directly after Justice League, also starring Miller as The Flash, finishes principal photography.

 

Rick Famuyiwa is directing the film, with Kiersey Clemons also signed to star as Iris West in the film. Seth Grahame-Smith wrote the -script off a Chris Miller and Phil Lord treatment.

That costume is just horrid. Armor on a speedster? And all the lines and seams? Not very aerodynamic.

Is Director Rick Famuyiwa Hinting At Cyborg Joining THE FLASH In This Latest Image?

 

3b11Pen.png

 

It's been rumored for a few weeks now that Cyborg (Ray Fisher) will be making an appearance in Rick Famuyiwa's The Flash in 2018. According to Deborah Snyder, the two youngest members of the Justice League will hit it off when they meet in 2017, which will lead to the heroes appearing in each other's standalone films. So far, nothing has been officially confirmed, but it looks like director Rick Famuyiwa may be teasing Cyborg and The Flash's (Ezra Miller) inevitable team-up.

 

Earlier this afternoon, Famuyiwa took to his Twitter account to update fans on The Flash's current -script. In the image released by the director, two Funko Pop! collectible figures can be seen. One is clearly the Scarlet Speedster, while the other is positioned to be almost unidentifiable - however, some eagle-eyed fans were able to discern that the second Funko Pop! figure is in fact, Cyborg.

THE FLASH Loses DOPE Director Rick Famuyiwa; Release Likely Delayed

 

The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Warner Bros.' upcoming The Flash solo feature, which stars Ezra Miller (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), has lost its director Rick Famuyiwa (Dope) over creative differences.

 

This news should undoubtedly come as a shocker, as Famuyiwa, who has been attached since June, was actively involved in the pre-production process and played an integral part in casting both Kiersey Clemons (Justice League) as Iris West and Billy Crudup (Watchmen) as Henry Allen. He now becomes the second director to exit the project after Seth Grahame-Smith, who left in late April.

 

According to THR's report, Famuyiwa hoped to make a movie with a much edgier take on the Scarlet Speedster, but was met with considerable resistance from the studio, which probably shouldn't come as a huge surprise considering they had already been burned twice by edgier superhero movies just this year.

 

Following the announcement, Famuyiwa released a statement:

"When I was approached by Warner Bros and DC about the possibility of directing The Flash, I was excited about the opportunity to enter this amazing world of characters that I loved growing up, and still do to this day.

 

I was also excited to work with Ezra Miller, who is a phenomenal young actor. I pitched a version of the film in line with my voice, humor, and heart. While it’s disappointing that we couldn’t come together creatively on the project, I remain grateful for the opportunity. I will continue to look for opportunities to tell stories that speak to a fresh generational, topical, and multicultural point of view. I wish Warner Brothers, DC, Jon Berg, Geoff Johns, and Ezra Miller all the best as they continue their journey into the speed force."

a) Sucks to be Ezra Miller. He's probably on some ridiculous workout routine that he's now got to keep up for another 2-3 months or so, to say nothing of delaying his ability to start another project.

 

b) Man the DCEU needs help...

I like Ezra Miller - had no idea who he was until he I saw his performance in Perks of Being a Wallflower. The man deserves a few more high-profile roles.

 

But this film losing two directors in six months, and one of them this late in the process? Not good.

 

Still not as troubled as Gambit, but not good.

I'm not a huge follower of directors however Famuyiwa always seemed like an interesting choice. Maybe "it was for the best", as they say...
