It looks like a drama is going on behind the scenes of The flash. It has been reported that the directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein ended up rewriting the script and apparently Ezra Miller is not very happy about it.
Daley and Goldstein approach the story with a lighter tone, what Warner Bros. was looking for. But, Miller wants to go darker. So, he went on to team up with the renowned comic book author Grant Morrison write another script.
Warner Bros. let both parties work on their scripts. When they are done, the studio will choose the script they want to move forward with. According to THR:
Both parties have been working on compromises since last year but Miller has taken the initiative to tackle the story itself. He teamed up with Morrison, the Warners having hired them to write their catch. It is rare that an actor is so invested in a superhero project that he changes his hat, but Miller sees himself deeply attached to the character.
The stakes are high because if WB decided not to move forward with the scenario of Miller and Morrison, the actor could be left behind the project. The report adds that there is "a countdown scenario here too: according to one insider, Miller's agreement on the Flash expires in May. He could easily get away from the project.
With WB and DC taking their comics in a new direction that focuses more on autonomous stories than on a connected universe, I guess it does not matter if they lose Miller. They can simply replace it with another actor and make the film. It's not like the movie is really linked to Justice League anyway.
Personally, I like the style of Daley and Goldstein. I appreciate the fun elements that they bring to their movies. The script for which they wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming was fantastic and a good example of this. Miller seems to stick to Zack Snyder's darker vision of the DC universe, which is good, but since WB dropped out of obscurity, the movies have been much better.
If WB accepts Miller's script, we do not know if Daley and Goldstein will still lead. If they come up against Miller on the story and tone of the film, I imagine that it would not be very productive to have them all work on the same project. In the end, it seems that the studio will have to choose between the actor or the director.
It will be interesting to see how it all goes. Studio insiders say that the script written by Miller and Morrison could be released next week, so I guess we'll know the result soon.
What kind of Flash movie would you like to see? A darker interpretation of the character or a more amusing and playful interpretation?
