Screen Junkies are reporting that none other than Back To The Future, Castaway and Forrest Gump helmer Robert Zemeckis is in talks with Warner Brothers to direct The Flash, the stand-alone superhero movie that will be lead by Ezra Miller.
The film has had many bumps in the road on its journey to the big screen. Seth Grahame-Smith and Dope director Rick Famuyiwa were both set to direct before jumping ship, but now it looks like Zemeckis could be the man to fill the position. However, comments jumped up online about the news of Zemeckis’ potential involvement with Umberto Gonzalez from The Wrap saying that he had purely just taken a meeting with the studio, who are still talking with other directors.
Here’s the tweet in question.
Not true. NOT in talks. He took a meeting and that is it. They’re still meeting with other directors. https://t.co/I6jcXsmcVa
