Variety is reporting that Warner Bros. is in negotiations with John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein to helm the solo Flash film. John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are known for directing the 2015 Vacation remake, but they also co-wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The studio had initially courted Ben Affleck to return to the director’s chair, but he passed on the gig. By tapping Daley and Goldstein, the studio seems to eye a comedic tone for the film, given the duo’s directing background on movies like “Vacation” and the upcoming “Game Night,” starring Jason Bateman.
“Flashpoint” had been on hold since director Rick Famuyiwa stepped away from the project. While looking for his replacement, the studio decided to take the script in a different direction. Joby Harold has turned in a new draft after a page-one rewrite.
