More bad news Superhero fans
Just a quick one – to say, I’m pissed. What has Hollywood been smokin’ this week?
First, Joel Silver has Joss Whedon removed from the WB lot for not coming up with a “Wonder Woman” script that was to his liking (probably had a plot – and we know how much Uncle Joel hates those pesky things), and now…
David Goyer, who has been living and breathing his superhero film for a couple of years, has been booted from “The Flash” (which he was keen to get Ryan Reynolds in red for). Why? creative frickin’ differences again.
“Well, I’ve been waiting a few months to relate this news — but I am sad to say that my version of The Flash is dead at WB”, Goyer (“Batman Begins”) tells his MySpace readers. “The God’s honest truth is that WB and myself simply couldn’t agree on what would make for a cool Flash film. I’m quite proud of the screenplay I turned it. I threw my heart into it and I genuinely think it would’ve been the basis of a ground-breaking film. But as of now, the studio is heading off in a completely different direction. I expect you’ll hear of some new developments on that front shortly.”
C’mon Warner. Take a risk. Take a gamble. Let the creatives take the reigns for a while… the accountant’s typing finger has gotta be tired by now.
