Who should direct The Flash?

[John-An]

This is the place where you can discuss about the possible candidates or your favorite choices for the director of the upcoming Flash movie.

 

[Airwings]

Baz Lurhmann should helm the film.

 

[batman44]

I would like Doug Liman.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Jonathan Levin, director of 50/50 and Warm Bodies.

 

[Juke Box Hero]

I would like Doug Liman.

Ha! I was about to post the same thing! I think Liman needs to have his hand in the DCU in some capacity.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

Edgar Wright?

 

[gugumugats]

Sam Raimi

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Totally left field... Ron Howard.

 

[Airwings]

Much rather Howard than Raimi
The former is back in the game again with making big films.
He's a veteran with lot of experience. He's done different genres.
Would it be bad to offer him a superhero film? Will he demand too much to say regarding story, tone and designs?

 

[erehwon0]

Doug Liman. Jumper and Edge of Tomorrow pretty much puts him on top of my list.

 

[Noctis]

how about Chris miller and Phil lord? (21 & 22 jump street, the Lego movie) a mixture of comedy and action!

 

[combocaz]

brad bird

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Joseph Gordon Levitt.

 

[Boy Scout]

Hardly an original choice, but I'd be all for Matthew Vaughn.

 

[Rocketman]

The Wachowskis.
Two words: Bullet Time.

It also helps that they made a movie called Speed Racer, in which SPEED and RACING were a primary focus.

 

[DrMylesOBoogie]

Alex Garland?

 

[DawnOfJustice16]

Peter Jackson .

 

[HighFivingMF]

I'd prefer James Wan do this one over Shazam.

 

[Sawyer]

Lego Movie guys.

 

[Zoom]

I'd prefer James Wan do this one over Shazam.

Why??

 

[HighFivingMF]

Why??

Because I really like James Wan and like Flash more than Shazam.

I could see Doug Liman doing this well, in terms of getting a Flash that fits into the current DCCU. Things would be "serious" as Snyder wants, but still provide a good amount of fun.

That being said, I wouldn't want Doug Liman, or any director, unless they themselves WANTED to direct the film as their own passion.

But yeah, style wise, I can see Liman fitting into what DC wants. It'd probably lose much of the comic essence of the Flash, but... it'd fit. That being said, I don't see the Flash or superheroes being his personal choice, so in that aspect it wouldn't work out, since he'd probably turn it into some... spy movie...
