Director Seth Grahame-Smith Drops Out of THE FLASH Due to “Creative Differences”

A few months ago, Seth Grahame-Smith was hired to write and direct Warner Bros.’ The Flash, which will star Ezra Miller as the Scarlet Speedster. His script is based on a story treatment written by Chris Miller and Phil Lord. However, it looks like the director’s chair for the DC film is now empty.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Grahame-Smith has exited The Flash, citing the common “creative differences” reason. The movie would have marked his feature directorial debut.

However, Grahame-Smith’s script will still be used for the movie. The Wrap adds that while Warner Bros. likes the script, the studio wants a “more experienced” director to bring it to life.

The Flash is reportedly casting five characters, but don’t be surprised if the pre-production phase is delayed a little bit until a new director is hired.

Stay tuned for more news as we have it. The Flash is set to hit theaters on March 16th, 2018.
