The Flash Movie Release Date, News: DC and Warner Bros. Want 'Lego Movie' Directors

By Liezl Dunuan, Christian Post Contributor Monday, April 06, 2015

After months of focusing on the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman" and "Suicide Squad" movies, some reports are saying that DC may have been neglecting its other superheroes.Not much has been heard about what's going on with "The Flash," until recently.

Cinema Blend reports that a rumor has been going around that DC and Warner Bros. are looking for a director to helm the project. And it seems that they have their eye on not just one, but two directors. "The Lego Movie" directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who also worked on "22 Jump Street" are reportedly being sought by DC and Warner Bros.

The duo is apparently very popular right now as another offer is on the table for them, this time to direct the new "Ghostbusters" movie for Sony. According to the report, they had earlier declined the offer but are thought to possibly reconsider because of new developments in the upcoming franchise.

A report in Collider says that the directing duo do not have any directing projects as of the moment. Most of their projects in TV and in film require them to be producers such as "The Last Man on Earth" and a reboot of "The Great American Hero" as well as "Ninjago," "The Lego Batman Movie" and "The Lego Movie Sequel," so it's likely they will take a directing project soon.

Although the solo film is not coming out until 2018, the lead actor for "The Flash" has been cast. The superhero will be played by actor Ezra Miller. Miller was cast in late 2014. One of the reasons for the early casting is a cameo appearance in the upcoming "The Justice League Part One" of 2017, and then again in the movie's sequel, which will show in 2019. It was earlier rumored that the "Fastest Man Alive" will also appear in "Batman vs. Superman" but this has been debunked.
