After a successful run at things last season Kevin Smith is set to return to world of DC television to direct an episode of season three of The Flash. Smith, who is on the road promoting his latest film Yoga Hosers, helmed ‘The Runaway Dinosaur’ episode of the last season of The Flash, and was so pleased with his experience, calling it his best directing gig ever, is set to return for some more action.
Speaking with Den of Geek, the filmmaker said: “I know I’m going back to The Flash, first week of September, to direct episode 7 of season 3. Still haven’t heard anything back from Arrow. You know, I wish, it would be amazing because I would love to write and direct Onomatopoeia in the show. Um, but I know they’re doing – what is it? – Wild Dog this year, as well as Vigilante, so maybe they’re just like ‘we don’t need you’, or whatever. But, at the moment, anyone over there raises a flag; I’m like ‘please, let me in!’ That’d be fun as f—.”
Smith created Onomatopoeia as a villain for Green Arrow back in 2002, a character which says out loud the comic book sound effects like ‘Baam’ and ‘Boom.’ The director revealed to the website just how he would translate that for the screen.
“[I]nstead of him saying ‘blam’, you’d find this card on your desk and turn around and ‘blam’, he’d shoot you and stuff like that. Which I think is a little more chilly, you know, for doing it in live action.”
