BACK TO THE FUTURE Director Robert Zemeckis, Sam Raimi & Matthew Vaughn Are Frontrunners To Helm THE FLASH
If that sounds familiar, it's because Zemeckis was already rumored to be in contention to land The Flash gig. This new report names him as frontrunner, but we'll still need that salt at the ready...
Last month, the guys over at Screen Junkies reported that Robert Zemeckis (Back to The Future, Forest Gump) had entered talks with Warner Bros. to step behind the camera on The Flash. Soon after, The Wrap's El Mayimbe seemingly debunked this, claiming that the director had simply taken a meeting with the studio.
Well, now Mayimbe is claiming that Zemeckis is actually the frontrunner to guide Ezra Miller's Fastest Man Alive on his first solo big screen adventure.
Obvioulsy we're not going to put too much stock in this until we find out more, but most of you guys seemed to love the idea of Zemeckis coming aboard the project, so hopefully there is some truth to it.
Thoughts? Drop us a comment in the usual place.
UPDATE: Variety has confirmed this report, while adding that WB is also speaking to Kingsman: The Golden Circle director Matthew Vaughn.
