You mean the directors that were never signed on in the first place?

Only Rick Famuyiwa has dropped from the project
Well, him and the first guy who was making this his directorial debut.

Hopefully they get it off the ground. If the next director wants to rewrite the script, let em. I know they spent a lot of time and money on the treatments but they may need a fresh mind on it.

Man, Billy Crudup was such a goddamn perfect Dr Manhattan.

Maybe they should make a DCEU/Watchmen crossover movie so Doc Manhattan can kill all the DC heroes and start over with new ones.

I'd jokingly say I can't wait for the end of the movie, where Flash Is forced to break Professor Zoom's neck in order to save someone, but that actually happened in the comics.

It'd be hard to reshoot the scenes of Barry and his dad, though, since Ezra is busy this summer with Fantastic Beasts 2. Probably more likely they just cut those scenes altogether.

Goes back in time and changes who his dad is.


To himself.

The first guy was never officially announced IIRC, and WB dropped him for lack of experience. Different from Rick where he left due to creative differences.

Although that Hollywood Reporter links says differently. Pretty sure I read WB simply wanted someone else. Seth still wants to do it iirc

edit: might be wrong about Seth

People really love to watch the DCEU burn.

It's because it's the DCEU. No one gives them the benefit of the doubt.

It's ok to be skeptical. But yesterday and now today. You've had two rumors debunked. People latch on to the clickbait and sites know it'll get people to their site whether or not their rumors have any credibility.

That said. For something that is a dumpster fire and something that people call shit. The same faces generally make their way into these threads making the same posts.

Yay, I guess?

I mean, Is anyone out there genuinely excited to see Billy Crudup play the role of Barry Allen's imprisoned dad?

It speaks to the interest people have for these movies (both good and bad) that anyone cares about Billy Crudup right now. The false rumor of him bailing on a movie without a director even has generated more interest in Crudup than anything he's done in years.
 
Isn't it quite possible that he left since the schedule got pushed back and he has some other offer?

I don't get how this is a sign of disaster.

Agreed. Which is why it gets annoying after a while seeing the same users going into DCEU threads to do their daily rounds of talking shit about these movies.
