Flashpoint: John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein Tapped to Direct
528THIS JUST IN: Variety is reporting that ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ screenwriters John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are in talks to direct the Flash standalone movie, ‘Flashpoint’ for Warner Brothers. The duo are not newbies to the directing world having directed the 2015 ‘Vacation’ reboot and the upcoming ‘Game Night’ film starring Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams. There are rumors that the studio approached Ben Affleck to direct the film, but that he reportedly passed on the gig. Joby Harold recently finished a page one rewrite of the script to possibly give it a more comedic tone.
Perri Nemiroff and Mark Reilly are here to discuss if this directing duo is the right choice for the film and whether they will be the ones to stay with the project until completion. They also speculate on the seemingly new, more comedic direction of the ‘Flashpoint’ script and if this will serve the character better in the film.
