“THE Flash” movie has lost its director. Seth Grahame-Smith is leaving the Warner Bros. project due to “creative differences,” THR has learned.
Grahame-Smith, the author and screenwriter of such works as “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” was to have made his directorial debut on the project that was based on the iconic DC Entertainment scarlet speedster super hero.
The project will retain Grahame-Smith’s script, which he wrote working off a treatment from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the Lego Movie duo that were once eyeing it as a possible directing vehicle.
“Flash” already has a release date — March 3, 2018 — and an actor who portrays the classic hero known as “the fastest man alive” — Ezra Miller, and there is plenty of time for the studio to find a director.
Miller’s “Flash,” aka. “Barry Allen,” was introduced in a cameo appearance in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” and is now shooting “Justice League Part 1,” which will be released in the summer of 2017.
Grahame-Smith still remains involved in other Warners project. He is a writer on the studio’s “Lego Batman Movie” and is working on “Beetlejuice 2.”
