Who should direct The Flash?

Baz Lurhmann should helm the film.

 

I would like Doug Liman.

 

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

 

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

 

Edgar Wright?

 

Sam Raimi

 

Totally left field... Ron Howard.

 

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?

 

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

 

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

Joseph Gordon Levitt.

 

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

 

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.

 

Alex Garland?

 

Peter Jackson .

 

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

 

Lego Movie guys.

 

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...
