The Lego Movie's Lord And Miller Developing A Flash Movie At DC
They're "currently working on a treatment for the studio about the superhero."
Just about the most in-demand directors in the blockbuster sphere right now are Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the guys behind The Lego Movie. And I can remember when it was nearly impossible to get friends to take a punt on my Clone High DVD box set. Actually, come to think of it, I was so into Clone High "before they were famous" that I should now be cool by extension. Why didn't that work? Amongst the many projects that Lord and Miller are considering, or in some loose way developing, is the Flash movie at DC Entertainment. According to Deadline, they're "currently working on a treatment for the studio about the superhero." This does not mean that they will script the film; it certainly does not mean that they'll go on to direct it. Much fuss has been made of Sony's desire to have these guys direct a Ghostbusters film of some description, but the truth of the matter is, every studio wants them for something - or rather, somethings. What they go on to actually make next themselves is, for now, anybody's guess but I've got a feeling they want to do 23 Jump Street. They're certainly spending energy on coming up with off-the-wall concepts for it. The Flash is expected to reach cinemas in 2018, with or without Miller. Ezra Miller - no relation - has already been cast in the role and is expected to appear in the upcoming Batman v. Superman and Justice League movies.
