Seth Grahame-Smith is the director

[HighFivingMF]

They should make a change here. Seth Grahame-Smith and film don't mix. We now have two adaptations of his novels not translating well to screen at all and his prior work in superhero cinema is as a writer on that awful Fantastic Four movie. They should get somebody different for this one and let Seth write George Washington Fights Werewolves With A Silver Chainsaw or something.

He did an uncredited polish on the script before about a half dozen more uncredited polishes and the movie that was shot was heavily edited by the studio. Don't see how that can be held against him. It's like blaming the guy who loaded the restaurant's delivery truck for your undercooked chicken.

Don’t Expect Ezra Miller’s The Flash Movie To Mimic Dawn Of Justice’s Dark And Gritty Tone

http://****************.com/wp-content/uploads/flashapoc-670x335.jpg
Next week – exactly seven days from now – Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will descend on movie theaters across the globe, heralding the defining next step in Warner Bros. DC Extended Universe.
Shackled with an almost unprecedented level of expectation, there’s another key component that’s set to be driven home on March 25, and that’s the overarching tone of WB’s budding cinematic universe. Granted, director Zack Snyder is poised to uphold the realistic tropes found in 2013’s Man of Steel, but don’t expect other entires in the DCEU to be beholden to this tone.
Case in point: the Ezra Miller-fronted The Flash movie set for release in 2018.
Weighing up how each entry differs from one another was Snyder and his wife and producer Debra Snyder, who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter recently about the ways in which those pieces will fall into place.
First up, Zack noted that:
The mandate is that we try and make the best movies we can. If you’re making a Flash movie with Ezra Miller, it’s like millennial Flash. It’s going to be a little lighter than making a World War I epic with this feminist icon like Wonder Woman. The films do live in a united universe. I feel like the danger is — and I think that the studio would acknowledge this — when you start to mimic things like tone. Then, when you go to the movie, you pretty much know the experience you’re going to have.
Bouncing off this, Debra Snyder referenced the likes of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and Patty Jenkins’ time-hopping Wonder Woman film as prime examples of this diversity.
Zack and [DC chief creative officer] Geoff Johns have outlined a timeline of where everybody is based off of, where our characters go in Justice League. So there’s a framework. But it’s filmmaker-driven, in that we want to hire direc*tors who still have a point of view and that have latitude because we don’t want all the movies to feel the same. David Ayer has a certain tone and feel to what he brought to Suicide Squad, as does Patty [Jenkins] to Wonder Woman. They have freedom to tell their story in the way that it needs to be told.
The Flash makes a beeline for theaters on March 16, 2018. Dawn of Justice, meanwhile, opens on March 25 of this year.

Edgar Wright was the ideal choice.
Or just getting the writer Lord and Miller to direct it would've been actually an awesome idea

Here is Zack actually confirming that Smith is working on the Flash. Up until this point i'm not sure anyone over at WB ever commented on it, just the "in negotiations" phase.



I really like him — he’s amazing,” Snyder said of the actor. “We did a little screen test with him, and I was like, OK! … His screen test was way longer than his part in the movie.” (Snyder recently told the New York Daily News that he chose not to cast Grant Gustin, the star of The CW’s popular The Flash TV series, in the role because he didn’t think the actor “was a good fit” for the tone of the DC cinematic universe.)
Although the Flash barely appears in Batman v Superman — and his solo feature film, directed by Seth Grahame-Smith, isn’t scheduled to open until March 16, 2018 — Snyder still had to decide how his abilities would look cinematically. “I’ve had a great time working out the physics of the Flash and really talking a lot about it,” he said. “I’ll gift that all to Seth. We are his research and development department now. … I’m super excited about the evolution of that character and what they plan on doing with him.”

We can lock this thread now I think

Or simply rename it into "Seth Grahame-Smith is the script writer".
