While The Flash film has gone through many revisions and directors, things seem to be on course for the Ezra Miller-led DC film. Andy Muschietti is the director now, with Birds of Prey’s Christina Hodson writing the script. But, last year comics writer Grant Morrison had teamed up to write a script for the film. What did that look like? Morrison reveals to Collider what he and Miller had worked on:
“Yeah, I mean, Ezra Miller and I wrote that last year, but it kind of, you know what it’s like? It was just one of those things we all… Well, I thought we had a really good version of The Flash and we wrote it as fast as The Flash, because it was so demanding, and it was pretty good. And I think after a few drafts, it would have been great. But the way some studios work, these things just come and go. I think about 15 people have already written versions of The Flash. But it does seem to be going ahead now, but not with the version that we did. I had fun. Ezra came over to the house and we just had a real blast and created the story. And maybe one day the script will leak out into the world.”
Morrison also said that their film had a Back to the Future feel to it:
“Yeah, it was pretty good. I mean, I don’t know what they’re doing with it. But it was pretty good. And it was a very different kind of superhero thing. It was more like Back to the Future, I would say, than a superhero movie.”
There were a lot of misconceptions about The Flash film. One being that Miller had wanted to go in a darker direction for The Flash. Morrison debunks this:
“No, it wasn’t [darker] really. I mean, elements of darkness were there and the material that they wanted us to use [was] the Flashpoint stuff. So, Ezra and I were actually trying to do something that was a bit more —like I say, it’s kind of like just a great science-fiction story. And if you don’t know [the comics], it would have made sense. But I have to say, I mean, I don’t want to talk about that, because somebody else has done their own work on it and I’m sure it will be great. And maybe, as I say this will leak out one day and people can judge.”
Only time will tell what the current film will look like. Are you excited for The Flash?
