Variety announced last night that Warner Bros. had called in the studio’s new golden boy Joby Harold to do what’s called a page-one rewrite, a top-to-bottom overhaul of the script.
The production was originally shooting for a release date in March 2018, but as one Variety commenter so astutely put it, “Three writers in a year?
If the DC Cinematic Universe has been chugging towards its Justice League centerpiece like a well-oiled machine, then The Flash solo movie is the one janky mechanism that keeps coming out of joint and necessitating repairs.
Harold’s last screenwriting credit was for the Razzie-nominated 2007 thriller Awake, but WB has kept him busy lately as the pen behind upcoming franchise pictures King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword, a new Robin Hood, and a Twilight Zone movie.
