The Flash Movie Loses Director

They are super but not impervious. The Flash movie loses director Seth Grahame-Smith ("Dark Shadows" screenplay).

Last month's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice fully launched Warner Bros.' shared DC movie universe with Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and special appearances by Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, and Ezra Miller as The Flash.

Last year, Warner Bros. set Seth Grahame-Smith at the helm of The Flash movie, which he would write and direct. The choice was interesting to say the least, as Smith's only directing credits were two episodes of MTV's The Hard Times of RJ Berger, making the Flash movie Smith's feature directorial debut.

Now however, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Smith has abandoned the project due to creative differences, and Warner is beginning to search for a new director to get the Flash across the finish line.

It's likely we will never find out exactly what happened since like scheduling conflicts, "creative differences" has become the go-to excuse whenever someone departs a project.

Regardless, Warner will keep Graham-Smith's script, which he wrote working off a treatment by The Lego Movie directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, so whomever they do decide is right for the job will not be working from zero.

The Flash movie opens in theaters on March 16, 2018.
