'The Flash' Movie Update: Seth Grahame-Smith Departs from Film as Its Director

Will "The Flash" movie experience a slowing down now that its originally slated director Seth Grahame-Smith has left the movie over the issue of creative differences? According to The Hollywood Reporter, it may not be so as Warner Bros. and DC can easily find a new person to helm the upcoming DC project, much more that it still has a little less than two years before it hits the theaters.

While Grahame-Smith left "The Flash," he will not be bringing along with him the script that he wrote for the movie, which will still be basis of the film once a new director is found to direct the movie. The director was also the one who penned the scripts of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter." "The Flash" would have been his directorial debut had he not turned his back on the project.

Following the resignation of Grahame-Smith from the project, it is now rumored that another DC movie director, James Wan is also slated to give up his directorial job for the upcoming "Aquaman" movie, allegedly for the same reason: creative differences. In the event that this rumor turns out to be true, Wan will be the fourth director to give up a directorial job for a DC movie for a creative difference reason. Earlier, "Wonder Woman" movie original director Michelle McLaren gave up the privilege of helming the movie citing the same reason. In March, actor-director Joseph Gordon Levitt also dropped the planned directorial job for "Sandman," again, because of creative differences.
