man i was really sad to see Goyer go, although i'm hoping that his casting choice of Ryan Reynolds would remain. the guy was born to play The Flash 

But Daredevil made over $100 million!You're exactly right, that's just the way it is right now I guess. Flash and Wonder Woman both have a lot of potential to be good movies. Its just that DC knows how hard it was to bring Superman and Batman back to film and they don't want to take any other big risks. On the other hand, Marvel is the opposite and wants to get all their properties on the screen even if they flop. They understand that for every Spider Man there's a Dare Devil, but its okay with them as long as it gets made. DC apparently feels that they can't live with embarrassments like Batman and Robin and don't want to make it any worse.
He should of said with every Spider-man there will be a Hulk.But Daredevil made over $100 million!![]()
Ouch. Well, this can either be a good or bad thing.
Don't think anyone has posted this yet...it's a follow up from his Flash announcment from his Myspace page.
Flash redux
Hmmm. Attempted to post a bit more about The Flash and it appears to have disappeared. Well, in any event, just wanted to say thanks to all of you who've expressed their regrets, etc.
To be honest, when WB first approached me about doing The Flash, it seemed a little too good to be true. A part of me thought they'd never really make a movie like that. For the record, the script did involve both Barry and Wally as The Flash. I wanted to showcase the legacy aspect of the hero -- as that was something that hadn't been explored yet in film. Like Batman Begins, the script drew on some seminal comicbook runs (Mike Baron, Mark Waid, Geoff Johns).
There have been other super-hero scripts of mine that fell by the wayside. An R-rated Ghost Rider script that Stephen Norrington was going to direct. A horror-centric Doctor Strange script for Sony (which portrayed Mordo and Dormammu in a very Lovecraftian light). Even a pretty crappy Venom/Carnage script that I got roped into writing for New Line!
Andy Walkers script for Batman/Superman was great. And I'm sure Whedon's Wonder Woman is pretty damn cool as well.
The truth is, I've had a remarkably good track record with these kinds of films so far, so I don't have a lot to complain about. My peers and I are well-compensated for what we do. We're essentially living the dream we'd envisioned when we were kids. Now we get to meet and work with people we viewed as roll models and heroes.
Just the other day I had lunch with Wendy & Richard Pini, the creators of Elfquest. (And I can remember buying their very first issue back in 1978 when I was just thirteen). I got to have dinner with Neal Adams before the Batman Begins premiere. Work with the likes of Stan Lee and Mike Mignola.
In the coming weeks I'll post a bit more on the projects I've been working on since the Flash's demise. (One of them takes place in the DC Universe.) Until then...
Barry and Wally in the movie? And exploring the concept of the Legacy Hero?? *sigh* A Pox on you Warner Brothers.
I like his Doctor Strange Idea
Damn, that sounded promising.For the record, the script did involve both Barry and Wally as The Flash. I wanted to showcase the legacy aspect of the hero -- as that was something that hadn't been explored yet in film. Like Batman Begins, the script drew on some seminal comicbook runs (Mike Baron, Mark Waid, Geoff Johns).
Is Goyer's Ghost Rider script available? I'd like to see how it holds up to MSJ's version.
I have it in hard copy.
Thank god! David S. Goyer screwed up the Blade trilogy and if he was still the director, he'd screw up The Flash as well(Blade II was good though)!The same day as Whedon is gone from Wonder Woman now David S. Goyer is gone from The Flash film as well.
