Game Night, which is actually based on a script they didn’t write, is their second directorial effort, and Warner Bros. evidently now trusts them enough to give them one of their biggest upcoming projects.
They certainly helped make Spider-Man: Homecoming one of the best comic book movies of 2017, so there’s confidence they can come up with something special for Flashpoint.
John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have been working together since 2011 when they collaborated on the script for the hit comedy Horrible Bosses (which also began their relationship with Warner Bros.). They spent years solely focused in the writing realm of the industry – scripting films like The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 – but in 2015 they changed gears when they directed the Vacation reboot.
