The Official Flash Thread

[The Major]

My bets are on Barry especially with his rebirth.

Agreed.

 

[Changeling]

Major, whats your avvy of? And it's a good bet that itll be Barry. Im almost positive

 

[Webhead2006]

sounds neat i havent seen much of porter's work but i think he could be a solid choice for flash i do hope if this guy gets flash seriously moving again its barry allen flash for film. It be nice to have him and hal have first films. And for the wally fans i would go and say start off the film and have barry and iris are already a couple and have been dating for awhile now and barry has a good relationship going with her nephew wally so then they can have wally be added as the flash in a sequel down the road and all that.

If it's Barry, I hope it's not another play-by-play origin story. His origin is simple enough that they can just skip to him already a hero. Actually, I think an origin story might suit Wally even less (I'm not sure why I think this), so either way, please no origin.

 

[Changeling]

Yeah I agree. We need an origin kinda like the opening credits of TIH. Just something to give us the gist of what made him that way. No origin story, no one wants to see a powerless Barry for 45 minutes

 

[Webhead2006]

well maybe they could start off the film right off the bat were he gets the powers in the opening mins. OR maybe make the film use flashback moments to tell the story of the events that brought him to get the powers and all that. We will just have to see where flash moves pun intended there isnt much know on the current project besides a new writer on it and we dont know what he wants to do with the film and what characters he wants to use.

This is Scott Porter (for anyone else not really familiar with him):

[YT]0km536vhF94[/YT]

He talks about auditioning for The Flash in the Justice League movie. He comes off as very likeable. And he gets bonus points for saying Brandon Routh was a fantastic Superman.

Ready for a wild rumor? How about Neil Patrick Harris being pursued to play DC comic book superhero The Flash? The last we had heard, Ryan Reynolds was in the running (get it?) for the role, but with the upcoming Wolverine movie it seems like his superhero destiny may be tied up as Deadpool.
But this, if true, is pretty much out of left field.
The Flash has been on again, off again and now on again with the recent addition of a screenwriter. We first mentioned it back in 2004 when David Goyer was supposedly going to write the script (he went on to write a little movie you may have heard of: The Dark Knight). Then there was nothing heard for three years until the announcement that Goyer was not writing the movie, but that Shawn Levy was attached to direct, then comedy director David Dobkin. That news quietly faded away and nothing was heard until earlier this month, when word surfaced that Dan Mazeau was attached to write the screenplay.
Now comes possible “insider” news that Neil Patrick Harris and possibly Scott Porter (according to ThinkMcFlyThink.com) are being looked at to play the Scarlet Speedster. Scott played the young Rex Racer in Speed Racer and has a recurring role on Friday Night Lights.
And of course who doesn’t know who Neil Patrick Harris is? For a 35 year old guy, he seems like he’s been around forever… starting out years ago as Doogie Howser, M.D. and then appearing in Starship Troopers (yes, he was in that). After that he bounced around doing one-shot appearances in TV episodes and a lot of cartoon voiceover work including Justice League and Spider-Man.
But what brought him back into popularity was his wild character in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, which led to a leading role on the sitcom How I Met Your Mother.
Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see if this pans out - no doubt he could pull it off if he buffed up and I think he’s got the acting chops to do it.
Again, keep in mind this is FAR from confirmed - but what do you think about the possibility of Neil Patrick Harris as The Flash?

it's funny.

I was like "pttf...Neil Patrick Harris"

The more I think about it, I'm not..totally against it!

 

[X-Maniac]

I'd never heard of Neil Patrick Harris. Why would I know someone who was in one-shot TV appearances and did cartoon voiceovers?

 

[Eddie Dean]

Because he's freakin' Doogie Howser, that's why!

You should watch How I Met Your Mother, it's a great show

Great news. NPH would be great for Flash. I'm glad the movie is picking up steam.

 

[The Major]

And don't forget Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog!

And the Harold and Kumar movies. He's hilarious in those.

 

[Superark]

I reckon I'm ok with Porter as Flash

 

[Double Down]

It's legendary.

He's the King of the universe. Lord of Awesome.

I guess Doogie Howser wasn't big in the UK

 

[Double Down]

I would be very happy with either NPH or Scott Porter. I didn't kow anything about Porter, but I really like the way he comes off in the YouTube vidoe I posted.
That was the same thing with Gale for Wonder Woman. I didn't know her, but I liked her in the interview I saw.

 

[cerealkiller182]

I could deal with NPH, but I really dont want to see Scott Porter in the role or any of the roles hes been mentioned for

I would prefer the Porter, myself.

I'm still on the fence about Gale. Something about her gives me the creeps. And I'm not talking about the hands.

 

[Octoberist]

Gale looks fake looking, that's why.

I've never seen her act, so I don't know if she could play Wonder Woman. I just found her charming in the interview.
