Well the director he signed up to work with is gone, and the production schedule he agreed to has been pushed back by at least a year, if not longer. And the script is undergoing huge rewrites. It's probably just turning into something much different from what he agreed to do.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Not the first time he's given WB blue balls.

Yup. Totally dropped out. /s
I love how people believe Warner Bros wouldn't have someone locked down who just showed up in the Justice League trailer. The film has no production start date, so how can there be any scheduling conflicts or any conflicts whatsoever.
The first is normal
The second is normal
The third isn't true for anything right now.
Raimi being in talks was only just reported yesterday. The actual talks between him and the studio have been happening for a few weeks now.
Trades wouldn't have made an article JUST mentioning him if he had already dropped out. Unless Borys Kit had old information and passing it off as new.

Fam you got a tv show. Its all good.
I imagine the schedule conflicts is from the movie being constantly pushed back

It shouldn't be.
If the Justice League movie didn't exist yet, this movie would be important in expanding the DCCU.

He's got nothing on his plate besides the Flash.

As long as they make money nobody at WB will be thinking about that.

I wouldn't want to be the person telling Jason Momoa he can't be Aquaman anymore.

Aquaman has James Wann, so it was always going to be in much better spot than most of DCEU.
Also boo

Wait, Raimi and Webb were both in the running? That's kinda funny.

Just drop the Flash movie and continue on another project, WB, this production clearly working out.
Justice League Dark at least has an attached director.

You should post in the community thread
It's actually fun there, unlike the films themself.Kenzodielocke

I am alright, thank you very much. Your post remains stupid, if serious.
Ditto. They're throwing rats on a sinking shit, then setting the ship on fire. Plus, it'll give the TV show more time to buff Barry before he gets nerfed to make movie Barry look better.

Why is it so damn hard to get a Flash movie going FFS. Nothing but bad news surrounding this one, can't imagine the final product being good at all, if it even comes out lol.

If every actor leaves these movies, maybe WB will stop making them.
One can only hope.

Shouldn't have stuck his head in the egg
He must have known there would be consequences

The movie was announced 3 years ago and they don't even have a director or script. No one wants to be jerked around by incompetence
Aww shit. I just finished reading The Flash #22 of "The Button" and it had totally slipped my mind that Snyder did the Watchmen film. That is totally going to happen, isn't it?
You mean the directors that were never signed on in the first place?
Only Rick Famuyiwa has dropped from the project
What did he mean by this?
Member
Well fuck the director you signed with dropped out and the script you signed on to is getting rewritten. Maybe he feels Alien Covenant will get him more roles that he doesnt need to wait for this
Only embarassing part is that scene from the JL trailer...
Aquaman save us
Like the AntMan debacle, like Joss Whedons breakdown, like Thor 2 losing a director?
everyone has problems

Again, you're acting like agents are breaking down his door for roles. He was announced in September 2016. So let's not act like he's been waiting around for 3 years.
