Flashpoint: 10 Major New Details You Need To Know About The Flash Movie

2. An Impressive Creative Team

Looking back at the history of The Flash movie is borderline headache-inducing. Seth Grahame-Smith first signed up to write and direct before parting ways over creative differences. Later, Rick Famuyiwa came on board, but left for the exact same reason, while Robert Zemeckis was attached for a time before Phil Lord and Chris Miller entered talks with the studio.

Those didn't pan out, so John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein were next up to take a crack at the Fastest Man Alive before they parted ways over, you guessed it, more creative differences. Now, as mentioned, IT director Andy Muschietti is in charge, and he's working off a screenplay penned by Bumblebee and Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey scribe Christina Dodson.

The Flash has had more writers than directors over the past five years, and it's unclear whether Dodson was tasked with starting from scratch or if she's borrowed anything from those previous takes. Either way, it does feel like the movie is finally in steady hands, and Muschietti was recently quoted as saying his Flash will be a "spectacular action movie" with "a big heart."
