Shawn Levy Steps in on The Flash
Filed under: Action », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Warner Brothers », Comic/Superhero/Geek »
Got a question for you comic book folks: If you were producing a movie version of The Flash, who is the man you'd want sitting in the director's chair? The guy who wrote Dark City, Batman Begins and all three Blade movies -- or the man who gave you Just Married, Cheaper by the Dozen, The Pink Panther and Night at the Museum? Well, as Jessica B. told you just a few days ago, the former (David S. Goyer) is out of the picture -- and today we learn that the latter (Shawn Levy) has inherited the gig.According to The Hollywood Reporter, "elements of Goyer's script will be used in the development process," which means a "story by" credit, at best. Also, Mr. Levy apparently has "no intention of making Flash a comedy," but a lighter touch is clearly what's being asked for here. WB doesn't want an angst-ridden and brooding Flash, I guess. And hey, it could be worse; they could have given the project to Joel Schumacher. For this unfamiliar with The Flash, he's the one who can run ultra-super-fast.
