paperheart Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) EARLIER: It’s been over six months since Warner Bros. lost its director for The Flash, which was scheduled to open on March 16, 2018 when Rick Famuyiwa (Dope) was attached to direct. Since then, the film, set to star Ezra Miller (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) has been in limbo as the studio has scurried to find a replacement. Well, it looks like they are getting closer to a resolution. Sources confirm to EW that Robert Zemeckis is the front-runner for the job. The veteran director of such classics as Back to the Future and Forrest Gump will likely develop the project, which is currently being rewritten by King Arthur: Legend of the Sword scribe Joby Harold. However Zemeckis isn’t locked, and he has another movie to make first — Steve Carell’s untitled adaptation of Jeff Malmberg’s 2010 documentary Marwencol, which will be released by Universal on Nov. 21, 2018. Other directors are also in the mix, including Matthew Vaughn, who was rumored back in March as the director the studio was courting to helm Man of Steel 2. Vaughn’s new film Kingsmen: The Golden Circle will open on Sept. 22. The Flash job has not been an easy one to fill. A source tells EW that two Spider-Man directors Sam Raimi and Marc Webb passed on the position. The film also lost its father figure with Billy Crudup, who was set to play the Ezra Miller’s character’s dad, dropping off. Warner Bros. declined to comment. editorial: "rewritten by KA: LotS scribe" - they need to blow this up and start from scratch Edited May 18, 2017 by paperheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 This Is What Dan Stevens Could Look Like As Reverse Flash Quote Most recently, Stevens served as The Beast in Disney’s live action adaptation of the classic animated movie Beauty and the Beast, one of Disney’s highest grossing films of all time. No stranger to the superhero genre, the English actor played David Haller in Noah Hawley’s Legion television series for FX and is slated to reprise his role for a ten-episode second season slated to debut in February 2018. Rising to prominence for his portrayal Matthew Crawley in Downton Abbey, Stevens has quickly become one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood and would be sure to be a huge name Warner Brothers could add to their stable should he be cast opposite of Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen in The Flash.

Bosco685 Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Former Han Solo Directors Met With DC For The Flash Recently Quote After having left Warner Bros.' The Flash in order to direct the upcoming Han Solo stand-alone Star Wars movie at Disney, Phil Lord and Chris Miller reportedly met with Warner Bros. about returning to the project as their relationship with Lucasfilm deteriorated in recent weeks. TheWrap says that the pair, who worked with Warner on The Lego Movie, met with DC Films during a production hiatus on the Star Wars spinoff, and expressed an interest in replacing Rick Famuyiwa, who had stepped in to fill their spot when they exited The Flash. The Flash, for its part, has had a number of rumored replacements for Famuyiwa in the time since he left, but has so far come up empty. In recent weeks, Back to the Future and Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis seems to have emerged as a front-runner to take on the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 FLASHPOINT! The Walking Dead's Jeffrey Dean Morgan Might Play Batman Quote On Friday, Warner Brothers dropped a bombshell in their release schedule by revealing the title of the upcoming Flash-centric film to be Flashpoint. This announcement comes with a tremendous amount of speculation regarding The Walking Dead's Negan actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan due to the events of the popular DC Comics story Flashpoint. A release date for Flashpoint has not yet been revealed but Morgan has previously weighed in on becoming Batman if such an opportunity presented itself... During a panel at Walker Stalker Con, Jeffrey Dean Morgan fielded questions from fans. "Zack [Snyder] and I go back to Watchmen days,” Morgan said. “So I've got a little bit of relationship with the DC losers. He called me a year before we shot that...I met Lauren. It was great. I still see Lauren. It was great and yeah, is there another plan for that Thomas Wayne character? We'll see. I don't know. I would love to be the dark Batman. That's the darkest Batman there is. God knows I embrace the darkness." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Is Batman v Superman's Flash Warning Connected to Flashpoint? Quote FLASHPOINT! It's a title that invokes immediate association with one of the most fan-favorite DC Comics storylines of the last decade, while inspiring a lot of fun speculation about what the future of the DCEU may hold. However, there's also the matter of the possible new connections this "Flashpoint" movie title reveals between the Flash's DCEU solo film, and that very strange scene in Batman v Superman. Naturally, Fans have assumed that The Flash's warning related to Superman, thereby justifying Batman's campaign against the Man of Steel; however, there's another possibility... Spoiler BARRY WARNING OF HIS OWN TIMELINE TAMPERING? It would explain why Bruce Wayne has the Knightmare dream just before The Flash appears to him: If Barry screwed up the timeline and was trying to fix it by making contact with the "real" world again, then that energy disruption could have given Bruce flashes of the alternate reality Barry was crossing over from. How Lois Lane would be the "key" to stopping Barry, or what Barry meant about "you were always right about him," are harder pieces to fit into this theory - but perhaps they'll come together better when we see the full movie. The point is: Barry warning Batman against his own actions would be a head-trip connection that ties the DCEU films together into an impressive loop.

Bosco685 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Grant Gustin Shares Support For Ezra Miller's Flash Quote Later this year, Justice League will hit theaters with the Flash in tow, but Grant Gustin won’t suit up for the big screen. However, the actor did just reiterate his support for Ezra Miller’s take on Barry Allen. Over on Instagram, Gustin commented on a fan-made picture that shows the actor with Miller at San Diego Comic Con. The CW star wrote, “Ezra is absolutely the more established actor in film, with the acting chops to back it up. I’m excited to see what he does with Barry Allen/The Flash.” This is not the first time Gustin has commented on Miller’s casting. Last year, the actor complimented the Justice League star after Miller said he thinks it’s awesome that there are now two Flashes. “Ezra is hilarious and kind,” Gustin tweeted. “Pumped for him. He’s clearly very excited.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 RUMOR: THE FLASH Solo Movie FLASHPOINT To Include Gal Gadot As WONDER WOMAN Quote Forbes.com, while outlining the future of The Amazon Princess, reported that not only will we see star Gal Gadot pick up the Lasso Of Truth in her sequel planned for 2019, but also in The Flash film as well that is now being titled Flashpoint. The info stated, "Gadot is also expected to reprise her role as Wonder Woman in the upcoming production of Flashpoint, which will be Flash's solo movie but is also more of another superhero team-up featuring several additional DC superheroes. Flashpoint is currently scheduled to release in 2020. So we'll see Wonder Woman twice this year, again in 2019, and in 2020. That's an average of one appearance every year, and it means Wonder Woman could potentially appear in as many different films as Batman will over the course of the next few years in the DCEU."

Which means our -script is probably done. That’s thrilling." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Flashpoint Fan Poster Brings Flash And Batman Back To The Future Quote Mention the term "Flashpoint" and you're bound to think of time travel, and you can't have time travel without a flux capacitor! That is at the center of this new poster from artist Samuel Cheve. He took the classic Back the Future poster starring Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) and Michael J Fox (Marty McFly) and subbed in the two main heroes involved in the "Flashpoint" storyline. That would be Batman and The Flash, represented here by their DCEU counterparts Ben Affleck and Ezra Miller respectively. Cheve coupled the artwork with the caption "BACK TO THE...BATFORE AND AFTER ⚡️⚡️SWIPE FOR ZOOM!! I know that I am not the first to have the idea but as I was born in the 80s."

jsilverjanet Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 If D.C. plays this Flashpoint right, it creates the opportunity to allow the Elseworlds brand they are developing. They could show little snippets of some of the movies they have in mind or Easter eggs of alternative versions of stories we as fans know wouldnt it be cool to see a Red Son reference? greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 FLASHPOINT -script Has Reportedly Been Turned In But Warner Bros. Has Yet To Settle On A Director Quote Variety's Justin Kroll is hearing that the -script for the solo Flash flick has finally been handed in to the studio, but that WB has yet to settle on someone to helm the project. It seems today's announcement that former Han Solo directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller have boarded Artemis takes them out of the running, but Back to The Future's Robert Zemeckis remains a possibility. No word on whether Sam Raimi and Matthew Vaughn are still in the mix, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Watch How Jeffrey Dean Morgan Reacts to Flashpoint Batman Question Quote To set the tone, Jimmy Kimmel reminded Morgan about how when he was previously on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he had asked him about a painting of Batman's father Thomas Wayne that had been spotted on the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice set. The painting looked a lot like Morgan, but Morgan wouldn't confirm "yes" or "no" when asked at the time. Of course when the film was released in theaters, it was confirmed that Jeffrey Dean Morgan was indeed playing Thomas Wayne. Jimmy Kimmel asks, "But now, I've learned that there are some comic series where Thomas Wayne is a Batman, a dad Batman or something. Are you going to be Batman in The Flash movie?" Morgan interjects, "It's a paradox universe, Flashpoint Batman," before letting out a breath, flashing a smile at the audience, and raising his eyebrows. While Morgan doesn't give a verbal answer, his facial expression seems to tell the story that he knows something. After laughing and covering his face, Morgan insists, "I didn't say [bleep]." After Kimmel and Morgan share a knowing look, Kimmel adds, "I don't think you had to." After more laughter, Morgan adds, "No, no, I don't know anything." Not letting him off the hook, Kimmel says, "You don't know anything. You would know if you weren't playing him, right?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 The Flash Seen As 'Justice League' Breakout Character, 'Flashpoint' Is A Priority Quote Recent rumors coming out of Warner Bros. suggested that fans should temper their expectations for a Flashpoint movie, based on the success and reception of the impending Justice League movie. But a new report states that Ezra Miller's portrayal of the character is one of the highlights of the new movie, and that a solo movie is in the works at the studio. The report from the Wall Street Journal called the Flashpoint movie "a priority" for DC Films, according to Warner Bros.' movie division president Toby Emmerich. It goes on to state how the Flash is being received among studio executives: "In "Justice League," Ezra Miller's Flash, who is young, socially awkward and hides his fear through humor, is viewed at Warner as the movie’s breakout character." Ben Fritz, who wrote up the report for the Wall Street Journal, added on social media that the production is close to landing a director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) JUSTICE LEAGUE Star Jason Momoa Weighs In On Who Wins In FLASHPOINT: Aquaman Or Wonder Woman Quote At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Bros. announced that the Flash's solo movie will be titled Flashpoint. That's led to a lot of speculation we're getting an adaptation of the DC Comics series it's named after and if that is indeed the case, it means we can probably expect alternate reality versions of Aquaman and Wonder Woman to go to war with each other on the big screen down the line Below, Justice League star Jason Momoa was asked about the two heroes going toe to toe and replied, "I think Wonder Woman is always going to win, but I don't ever want to fight her," before adding: "Having said that, I do like to wrestle. You know, Aquaman's a bit of a biter so you never know so we'll see, but generally she's beautiful why the heck would I want to fight Wonder Woman?"
