Screen Junkies are reporting a rumor they’ve heard that Robert Zemeckis is in talks to takeover as the director on The Flash.
While rising stars like Grahame-Smith and Famuyiwa would have been interesting helmers for the more youth-focused The Flash, it’s hard to not be excited about the possibility of veteran director Zemeckis tackling a superhero film.
The Flash, meanwhile, recently lost director Rick Famuyiwa (Dope) after original director Seth Grahame-Smith exited the project.
And while the deal is far from done, Zemeckis could be just the director to revive the floundering production of The Flash and renew audience anticipation.
